What does everyone do with their stock parts?

[631_Islander]

Just curious. What does everyone do with their stock parts? Obviously the go-to answer is to sell on craigslist or Facebook, but for most parts no one would want them. I have gas caps and stock wheels and suspension that it seems no one wants. Do you guys keep all your stuff in a box "just in case" or take it to the dumpster? I currently have everything piled in a box just waiting "just in case."

The only stock item I modified were the rock sliders. Removed them from my JLUR and got Rock Sliders with Step Assist instead as my wife was complaining about having a hard time getting in the Jeep. Still have the stock sliders sitting in my garage for over a year now as I like keeping things just in case.

Rest of my Jeep is still factory stock with the exception of four Mopar Grab Handles as I do not intend to modify for as long as I own it.

I've still got a bumper from my first YJ in the attic along with the JL plastic bumpers. I actually replaced the stock rock rails while up in Idaho towing the Jeep behind our motorhome. Wrapped them up in a blanket and fit them under the coach in a bin. Carried them for the rest of the trip (about 6k miles) just looking for someone with a sport that I could give them to. Ended up with them back home on craigslist and sold them for 50 bucks. Probably should have just let them hit the dumpster when I first removed them for all the room they took up.

Wish someone would donate their old factory Mopar steel bumper to me! Seriously, I keep the stock parts to return the vehicle to stock before I sell or in case I get in an accident and need a quick fix.

My sport tires had 18,000 miles and had a lil curve rash on one of them so I happily pulled up to a hole in the wall tire shop and took $100 bucks for them. After 3 months of trying to sell. I recycled most of the sport suspension because I didn’t see much value in it and I didn’t feel like waiting 2 hours at the metal scrape yard.

I was able to sell my take off suspension, wheels and tires from my rubicon. Then for my wife’s rubicon we stored them and eventually put them on my sons sport s. Some of the rubicon take off parts have value. Not much off the lower trim classes

They are still on our Jeep.

In the same vain can anyone tell me approximately how much I should be able to get for these with less than 100 miles?

Gave the wheels and tires away, bumpers now reside in the dump.

I've still got parts from vehicles I sold years ago, don't be like me. There are bumpers and exhaust systems in the crawlspace under my house that I'm probably going to sell with the house for future generations to find because I never make the time to take photos and sell them.

I try to sell mine for twice what they're worth!

That should be pretty easy. Just list it on eBay, where people are happy to pay new prices for used stuff.

Nah— used or old parts aren’t worth much. You gotta leave them lay around until they can be called Rare, Obsolete, hard to find, VINTAGE Parts. The price goes up 5–10 X of old used parts.

I was trying to give away my rear seats for about a month and a half before I finally mutilated them and threw them away.. go figure, a month later, someone on here hits me up wanting them. Shit luck I guess.

The only thing I have currently which I think anybody would even want is my Rubicon Rock Rails which came with the Willys Sport. Though I'm going to hang on to them for a couple months just to make sure my replacement steps will be able to handle being dragged across the rocks.

Pretty much it seems unless you got Rubicon parts, nobody wants anything you got.
