Went looking for old rabbit lug nuts and any Disco stuff and struck out.

For those rodeo owners:
95 almost complete.

Thanks, Brad!

Someone needing a cheap cage can probably buy that whole mess of tubing for under $100. The circle/drag driver cage costs about that much by itself...

It's my pleasure. Just hope it helps someone.
Here is a wide shot of the cage vehicle.

Thanks for posting this. Was totally outta the loop knowing about this yard. I love the self-service outfits. Might just have to fit them into my day off tomorrow. :thumb:

Can go to Steele's Cycles to boot.

I have been going to Colorado auto for almost 20 years. They have always treated me right.

Any xj wagoneers? I figured I would ask.

Not sure on the wagoneers per se, but there are too many cherokee's to count.

Santa Fe and Radcliff off the frontage road:

Colorado Auto & Parts, Inc.

"Automotive Recycling Professionals"
2151 W. Radcliff Avenue
Englewood, CO 80110
(303)761-0112 or (800)222-0743
MON-FRI 8AM - 5PM------SAT 8AM-1PM

Like Brad, I have been going there a long time. More XJs than you can count...

Used to be a bit better, but still good. Used to be a better source for truck crap, but the trucks are getting fewer and fewer each year..

I second that Pete! There are empty isles Compared to just 5 years ago you could count on it always being full.
