Suggestions on what to pull at junkyard?

[FellowsheepTech]

Heading to one of the big junkyards this Saturday with a friend & my sons. $75 for a wheelbarrow! Any suggestions for the high-value things to pull and have on hand?

My truck: 2003 X5 3.0i w/132k (clean, runs great)
Son: 1994 740il (rough, but running)
Son: 1993 Miata (not running, but pretty good handle on parts needed)

Appreciate any suggestions

Can you fit the engine in the wheel barrow? I bet you can

Pretty sure engines, trans & axles are the exceptions.

Get the "easy-to-remove-and-commonly-broken-and-expensive" stuff:

- FSR
- MID
- HVAC Panel
- If new, get the driver side window regulator
- MAF
- Alternator

+1 on hvac panel. Very expensive new or used these days.
Front driveshaft and transfer case if they are lower miles...

1+ on FRONT driveshaft, an issue for 2001-2003 models, but not for 2004-2006 models.

My son grabbed a "like new" full leather seat set for his 250k mile Lexus, the junked car was like new and rolled. If it can balance on a wheelbarrow, your good!

Lame.

I'd swoop a rear subframe & arms to referbish and install new bushings in. That way when it comes time to rebuild the rear suspension, you can have it mostly done and pre assembled
