I'd say hit all the forums for a list of JY swap parts...
Like...
ZJ rear disks, calipers, ebrake lines, backing plates, etc. for a rear disc swap.

Pop open every underhood power distribution box.

Grab ALL RELAYS and FUSES.

Can never have too many spares

Be nice and replace the cover on the relay box, just in case someone might need it later on... Well the block itself, just to help prevent corrosion build up.

Like was mentioned before; I'll go for one thing, then leave with a truck load of other stuff I didn't know I needed! I'm worse than a teenage girl at the mall when I go in there!

Something else you should grab if you can get it for cheap is the driveshafts, and maybe some spare yokes. You can never have enough spares on the trail.

I found a 78 Bronco (just like mine) at the yard last weekend, and totally forgot to heed my own advise. I'm going back this weekend and grabbing the front shaft out of it.
