Default Junkyard parts swap?

Anybody know if anything from the junkyard will work on the Jk I've seen a few threads like this for YJ's and TJ's wondering if there's anything that anyone knows about for the Jk's yet since there still pretty new there might not be many if any but it's worth a shot. If there's a thread already can someone link me to it as I searched and found nothing

Only JK parts will work on a JK. You could probably fab some parts off older models to fit like bumpers etc, but don't know why anyone would want to..

I've got some 3/4" coil spacers up front from a TJ on my JK, $15 was tough to pass up.

Some 4x4 shops that do major suspension upgrades on new vehicles regardless of the make will save the almost new stock components and sell em for way reduced prices.

Especially JK s over the last few years. Springs and diffs are sometimes easy to get.
If a person has reasonable fab skills, brand new stock parts can be made into very good quality.
