Default Building on a budget?

Hey just got my first jeep and am looking to do a budget build. I am just looking to find some good sites or local places to get some decently priced parts. Any info would help, like I said this is my first 4x4, I have always had cars so I wanted to try something new. Thanks!

craigslist is good.

start small, used 31s on steel wheels, trimmed fenders and a budget boost should keep you under the $500 mark.

if you can weld an 8.8 swap is alot of fun to do.
