6th e53? I’d say you’ve done your part for the cause!

ATC transfer cases are much more rare I think and new parts to rebuild them are increasingly scarce. Cobra was down to what they had in stock as they couldn’t get any new bearings or seals from their suppliers when I rebuilt mine last year. You may want to pull it if it has the ATC transfer case.

Front driveshaft if it is the longer version, or has been lengthened.

Door cards, if they are in good shape. In fact I need a right front, if it’s tan!

Seems like people are always looking for tow packages.

Headlights if they are in good shape and not hazed over.

Stereo amp and subwoofer if it has one.
