I always stock up on relays & fuses of all kinds anytime I’m at pull-part . Sure they are used but I’d rather have good quality oem used parts than some of the aftermarket garbage that’s sold .. They always cut me a deal if I buy more than 10.
And I always assumed I was the only guy picking’ parts off cars and trucks at these bone yards 😂.
Nope your not alone , it’s my favorite place. I always go open minded and get whatever cool stuff I find. So if I go looking for fuses but I walk by a Gm truck with a 4.8-6.0 or a 4l80e trans then I’m taking it with me lol.. but yeah relays are not specific to anything off or on road, you just gotta figure out which vehicles have the same relay. Of course it’s much easier to walk in parts store and buy though 🤣
It’s just old habit for me. Iv never had one go bad on the trail, but I have had headlight/fuel pump relay fail on motorcycle/vehicle on the road. So I always carry a little baggy with couple extra fuses one or two relay and spark plugs.
We have one yard that you can go and pull parts. I call it “The Museum”. You pay $3 for admission and I always say “one ticket to the museum”. That laugh every time. I just pick and pull. Never check tool box, just ask “ what ya find today?”
