Can anyone recommend a good used Jeep parts source out west that will ship. I need a black tailgate for my 2005 TJ. There is nothing out here in the northeast that is worth buying. Thanks.
 
B and R is a good source.

Autowrecking.com

Bought a tub and frame from them, an iBooster and other parts.

Eugene Yard is close to me if you want me to get eyes on something. I don't mind going fishing for more spares.

Thanks all, Inquiries sent.
Trying to find a rust-free tailgate in the northeast, is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
 
AZ Cycle Parts On eBay. They’re on the west side of the Phoenix metro area, I bought all of my LJ parts from them (they’re 20 miles from me) and I have been very happy. They even have a black tailgate for sale now.

Thanks, but he is a little proud of his parts. $399.00 for a rusted tailgate plus $250.00 shipping is a little steep. At this point I may entertain a new tailgate and have it painted.
 
Be patient and you'll find one.

I bought a whole Jeep for doors, a steering box and some other parts. Ended up parting out the rest and making out quite well.

I'm patient. I've been looking for months. My tailgate isn't all that bad. The left lower is starting to rot out, not really visible unless you lift up the weatherstrip.
The next great adventure is going to be trying to find a rust free tub for my LJ. My Jeep has always been stored for the winter, except the last two, now both the rocker panels are rotting out. Thank god I have rocker armor hiding it.

I think have one. That part of the shop isn't visited often — too much stuff there saved because I might need it someday :ROFLMAO:

Give me a few days to get it down and take pictures. Shipping would be from Maryland. After you see pics we can negotiate.

will this work? and no, I don't have the key. BTW, it's danged heavy. You'd be better off coming to get it vs shipping.
