Junk yard parts options for budget upgrades?

[bond...vagabond]

Does anyone know of a good source for what parts from other vehicles parts swap onto tj's as an alternative to paying retail? Or sometimes for test purposes, like using junkyard coils to figure out what hight lift you want then buying nicer ones?

I think its zj or wj control arms from a v8 rig are a way stronger control arm than stock c chanel style, and are cheap where i live.
I beleive its a zj v8 the front coils will give a little lift on tjs

Those are just axamples of what im looking for, if anyone has a good source for that kind of info, hook me up, or just shoutout your favorite parts swap from another rig that gives some benefit over stock, stronger, more hp, lifty-er, you get the idea.

I wish there were some good sources of used-but-good aftermarket stuff - about the only game in town seems to be eBay. I'd never pay full price for a ARB diff cover, for instance, but I found one on eBay with some "play marks" on it at a good price.

There's no reason to buy used parts when you can find new ones reasonably priced on Ebay. You just have to search for the best deals.
