Junkyard Xs?

[TTG]

Just wondering how common Xs in junkyards around y'all are. Here in South Florida they're pretty much non-existant. People fix them, even if they're totaled and just send em over to the islands. Was wondering if it was this way all throughout the country.

There are quite a few around where i live. Doesn't really seem to be a problem for me.

Lots in my area, but they get stripped real quick

There are not a whole lot in the yards around here, and they get stripped down QUICK.

They are somewhat common here. You have to keep checking back at the junkyards because they get new ones in every few weeks.

Not common at all here. I have only found a few 1st gens and they were stripped to just part of the shell and the frame.

Try www.car-part.com for locating specific parts or yards. I visit many different yards depending on the part/price.

Say Aaron, would you keep an eye out for a 99-01 Explorer 4dr. with the rear leveling suspension? I need the ARC module, height sensor/brackets, and possibly the air lines.
I've been checking around for a month with no luck, thanks. Some Explorers are here most of the time, but certain stuff is hard to come by.

There is a possibility that you can find a few 1st gen X's in the NYC/NJ/CT area. But you can be sure that they will be in terrible shape and stripped. 2nd and 3rd gens are still on the road or have already been crushed.

Wish I was there. If you get back there in the near future, would you ask if any of those are 99-01 four doors? I need an ARC module from one of those years, and the ARC air lines if they are easily removed. That ARC is a rear leveling system, rear air shocks.
Most yards don't inventory stuff like that, so I haven't been able to search effectively out of town. Regards,
