I woke up today morning at 8:30 with a phone call from Stallion. He was on his way to come pick me up so we could go to the junkyard. I needed a seat riser for my Wrangler but not any seat riser, it had to be off a pre-2000 model because the one I had was one of the new ones which allows my driver seat to tilt forward. The pre-2000 models didn’t have that option and so had more empty space under the seat which would allow me to install my car’s amplifier in that space.
I was expecting the junkyard to be just one large unorganized place but it turned out to be this huge area made up of little small junkyards that were split up by car make or type. We drove around looking for junkyards that had Wrangler parts but there weren’t many. We found around 6 to 8 places that had Jeep vehicles but only 3 had Wranglers. After driving around from place to place we found what I was looking for BUT the guy would refuse to sell the seat risers without the actual seat.
Stallion using his great haggling skills tried to convince the guy to sell us the seat riser by itself but instead of convincing the guy to sell us the riser he nearly initiated a riot and the guy ended up refusing to sell us anything. I was sure we were going to get attacked by the Afghani workers there, I don’t know what happened because it all happened fast but it was a really short conversation that ended with Stallion and the Afghani worker shouting at each other and us walking out quickly.
We finally gave up on finding the seat riser without the seat so we took off back home. On our way we passed by Dunkin Donuts in Al-Rai since I had been craving Dunkin Donuts for a week now. It had be a long time since I had Dunkin and I had forgotten how good their donuts were. I took a lot of pictures of the junk yards which you can find by clicking continue below. It was a pretty productive morning.

nice post, but your have a grammar mistake
“I don’t what happened because it all happened fast “
Sorry about that, I am still editing the post. I hate to edit the post while I am drafting it, only after I click publish I like to go back and fix my mistakes. Its a bad habbit!
sure was interesting!
What happened was that I pointed out to the Afghani that he didn’t want to sell us anything and he got pissed!
I did get him to admit to the fact that he wasn’t interested in selling anything before we left though despite the times he tried to deny it!
hahaha thats hilarious! Next time take more people so that during the riot you can steal the parts! How much did he want to sell you the seats?

This is hilarious, just put the amp in the boot. You deserve it for not picking up in the morning you fagg.
my phone is not with me, getting it back soon. what do you need, email me.
Mark, take off the seat riser and go to Shuwaikh to a machinist and give him the rise height that you need, you can always look it up at eBAY I guess you will find it there.
checked ebay didnt find what i needed.
z: he wanted 80 for the seat
Go to Makhratat Al Salam in Shuwaikh
Wow, looks like a place where you can get ANYthing.
Mark, a bit OT but a quick Q:
I noticed that you’re a frequent amazon buyer and wondered what type of warranty amazon.com offers when buying directly from them, let’s say electronics, is there an extra fee to pay, how reliable is their warranty, the extent of their coverage and how convenient is it to ship back and forth a product to the states (from kuwait) for repair?
Many Thanks,
E.
where is this place?
The junkyard sucks they either dont have what ur looking for or sell u something that costs nearly as much in the dealer brand new.
bunch of thieves.
buying nothing and eating donuts is a productive morning . LOL
How do i get to the Junk Yard?
Dude, next time u need anything about Jeep from the junkyard at amgara, let me know, we know them afghani bastards, always a regular customers down there!!
Directions to the junkyard:
Get on the 6th ring road and drive as if you are going to Jahra. Keep driving until you see a sign saying Amghara then take a right. You will see the junkyards on the left.
Poor dead cars..
where is the junk yard please?
wow,i was thinking of making a custom care getting parts from different cars and manufacturers
Seeing this post is from a couple years ago, I hope you found what you needed by now 🙂 I was wondering though, the junkyard isn’t in Amghara any more. Do you happen to know where they moved it to? Thanks!
i heard it moved north but haven’t been there. its on my to do list.
Does anyone have a contact nr# for this scrapyards? ..?
