Common part sales will only net you a couple hundred bucks. By the time you've sold the bouncy seat, mirrors, and signal lenses, sometimes bumper ends, you'll have an eye sore and feel worse.

Sell it, part ways without further clean up.

I'm not worried about an eyesore, its going to be parted out on my friend's property in the middle of the desert along the foothills of the Franklin Mountains, so it's out of sight, out of mind. I also can't get more than $300 for a non-running vehicle on a good day to the right buyer in this area.

This was my thought. I have the ugly custom bumper I made that fits an IBISTEK aluminum 17,500# military tow bar perfectly with welded-on 30,000# shackles that I could probably get a hundred for, plus another $250 for the matching tow bar (they go for $450+ used online), the bouncy seat, a couple lenses, gauges, the Weber 32/36 conversion, auto hubs, limited slip rear, working transmission and transfer case, etc. In the end, the junkyard will pick it up and pay me another $200 for the carcass.

I can keep it out there as long as I wish, but I was hoping to do the parting out during the summer break from school. This could supplant the loss of MGIB income for the summer break.
