What would you take?

If you had the opportunity to strip a truck, same year as yours, for a few hours before it got junked what would you grab? Any aftermarket items (bumpers, armor, winch), steering, suspension, tires, wheels, lights (headlights, tail, signal), mirrors, glass, doors...what?

Since mine is a 2nd Gen:
Back seat cup holder
Wheel speed sensors
Back hatch interior handle
Fog light stalk
IPDM
Steering rack if under 50k miles

Doors, seats, dash cluster, ecu, rad, t-case, drive shafts, suspension parts if decent.

Actually I would just put the whole vehicle in by back, back yard

I'd do the same and then take off what I really wanted and get rid of the rest.

Hmm. First Gen.

All the small things that sell such as cup holder inserts, first aid kit, the OEM distributor, tail lights, roof rack hardware, fog lights, headlights, the MAF, gauge cluster, seats, nevermind id keep it all. I've been robbing parts off this since it showed up. Bulbs. Hardware. Trim pieces. Nismo Wheels. You know, the usual.

Exactly.

You're the one that started this "wish game". You didn't place any restrictions on us, your year may be different generation that ours/mine.

Ha ha, it’s an opportunity that just popped up, so I thought I’d make a hypothetical question without restrictions out of it.

I wanted to see what people would take if the they had the same opportunity with their year and model.

If I had a place to store stuff, I’d take the whole truck as well.



(That storm was crazy, but I made out okay)

 

[reaver]

Dude, just tow the whole thing to a storage unit, and park it there. Remove pieces as required, or over a longer time frame.

Profit!

An automobile storage unit in NYC is not a realistic option my brother. I pay $300 a month for an outdoor space for my registered/insured commercial vehicle. Life in the big city and all that shiat.

The truck was toasted.
If I could have I would have taken the whole truck and stripped it at my leisure. Due to many restrictions that I won't get into we only had a few hours at it.

I took the tires that are the same as what's on my truck but in better shape (embarrassing ) and the front signal lights.

Anything else we took, that had a possibility to be revived into any kind of reusable shape, we tried to think "could anyone use this?"

Anything electrical was pretty much toasted and couldn't be checked. Any "loose" items; cup holder, lighter, etc. missing.

We ended up taking:

OEM steering that was all ready off the truck
Shrock front winch bumper
"Frontier" Shrock rear bumper
Shrock gas tank skid
WARN winch (hopefully it works)
ARB equipped rear axle (complete)
Aftermarket taillights

All needs to be cleaned up and checked.

The front end; king kong steering, LCA, Calmini UCA, Torsion bar (adjusters, anchors), shocks were shot.

Front axles were not there and the milemarker hubs had no guts (???).

Then the scrap guy showed up with a trailer and it was gone.

It was an interesting exercise. We'll see what works, clean, see if anyone wants and then try and sell.
