Are TJ and JK Wrangler parts interchangeable?

Very few. Different platforms, bolt patterns (5x4.5 vs 5x5), and body dimensions. The 4.0L engine crosses from late TJ to other applications, and Dana axles can cross with bracket modifications. Body panels do not interchange.

What are the best Wrangler parts to pull?

Hardtops ($800-$2,500), doors ($200-$600 each), Dana 44 axles ($500-$1,500), transfer cases ($300-$800), and Pentastar engines ($1,500-$3,500). Wrangler parts hold strong value due to the active off-road community.

Do JK and JL wheels interchange?

Both use 5x5" bolt pattern, but hub bore and offset differ. JK wheels can fit JL with hub-centric rings. Always verify offset before purchase to avoid rubbing or unsafe fitment.
