If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

You will get a lot more for the parts than the whole thing, but you have to sell all of them.
When I sold the RangeRover, it went for less than I could have got for the gearbox wheels and axles.
Then I might have sold the tailgate, and I'd have been stuck with the rest.
With a Jimny, you will easily sell the axles, and you might sell the front bumper and wings, but there are more rusty ones about now, a few years ago most breakers had been rolled onto their sides.
Not many people want the transfer box non vvt engine & gearbox.
If you have the time and space to break it, you could consider getting a chassis and swapping it over

I've broken cars in the past and it was a pain in the rear messaging people then striping the bits of then wrapping them up and posting.
As others have said try and sell it whole or strip the main sellable parts off then get the scrap man to take it away as there's nothing worst than having a half stripped car on the drive according to my missus anyway
