So i Jacked up my throttle body trying to replace the TPS (cross threaded the bolts) I dont have the means to drill & tap new holes so i need to replace the whole thing. but I cant find a RENIX jeep to pull one from so does anyone know what other vehicle i could pull one from?

Post a pic of the messed up holes. I will bet they are salvageable. You can buy a cheap tap set and throw it away for less than a new TB will cost you.

That's pretty ugly. 
There are quite a number of parts sites where you can register and then do a query for car parts, and various junk yards will respond if they have the part.
If you use one of those services, be careful. Grab a free email address from yahoo or some place like that, and use that address instead of your real one. That way if sell your email address to spammers they don't have your real email address.
