Default Junkyard hunt

Planning on making a trip over to the local junkyard tomorrow. Aside from some interior screws, I have nothing else I really need. Anyone have any good ideas for parts I could try and get for relatively cheap that would be good for upgrades/mods?

Drive shafts, diff covers if your not running diff armor, axles, gears, steering from a grand (I have read people who use ZJ steering because it is beefier), basically get as many spare parts as you can afford and space to keep; make yourself a crash cart so when you break something on the trail you can get yourself back up and running.

There axles are the same diameter. the 8.8 is almost as beefy if it wasnt for the week carrier. An 8.8 with a full locker to get rid of the carrier is just as strong as a non moded d60

factory tranny cooler... tow hooks.......skids..... rear disk brakes off a GC w/D35.

I always look for stuff most people pass by.... Ive found brand new starters, alternators, calipers, brake pads, hoses, belts and tune up items.

Amazing how it seems some people will have a problem and do all the tune up stuff and it goes to the scrap yard when they cant get it to run with all the new stuff they put on it..... I love those kinda people
