Your part suppliers...
Posted: February 9th, 2009, 6:02 pm
I haven't really seen one of these threads on any other forum and I know I have some pretty good part sources and the same for some of you. I'll leave the suppliers not to use for another thread... maybe...
[email protected] -- mainly ZJ, WJ and 5.9L parts, but has some nice parts for XJ and 4.0L. I got my Addco sway bar from him, my lift kit, my OME shocks (which I love), JKS quick disconnects, the Thorley header, WJ ARB bumper, and a lot of other parts. Good guy to work with and you always talk to him directly. And he owns a mythical moded out 5.9.
Iron Rock Offroad http://ironrockoffroad.com -- I haven't bought much from these guys aside from adjustable upper control arms and a tie rod. Their prices are very competitive and I liked the parts I received. While the control arms weren't on par with RE (larger threads), they did have a second offset hole drilled on the axle side to combat this so I see it as a non issue. I also called them on a Sunday expecting to leave a voice mail and there was actually some one there to talk to.
Falcon Global http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/falconglobal/ -- I purchased most of my stroker parts from then aside from the pistons and while they aren't ones for talking they do have very good prices.
Silblade http://www.silblade.com/ -- Silicon wiper blades. They really do last 5 years. They cost a bit more, but do the math. And they have a 5 year warranty.
Northern Auto Parts www.northernautoparts.com -- Cheapest price I found on both versions of the lifter bore grooving tool.
Leigh Performance Machine http://www.strokedjeep.com/ -- I purchased my bored throttle body from him. Cheap and fast. I don't mean to undermine Oleshot in any way which does the same service plus piston dishing, but I purchased teh TB before I known of Oleshot's services.
Genuine Dealz http://genuinedealz.com/ -- cheap marine battery cable
Daniel stern lighting http://danielsternlighting.com -- Cibie head lamps, world of lighting knowledge. I love my Cibies.
Hesco http://www.hesco.us -- Prices aren't the cheapest but if you need support for said part they are good.
Porterfield brakes http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/ -- I have worked with these people for years. Good brake products and they do cryo tempering as well.
Kevin's offroad aka. kevin's jeep parts -- http://www.kevinsoffroad.com/ - Another small company. I purchased my rock rails from him.
Jeepin Outfitters http://jeepinoutfitters.com/scripts/default.asp -- Run by Jason.. don't recall what I purchased from him but he also runs a pretty decent forum
DPG Off road http://www.dpgoff-road.com/ -- Yet another small company. Purchased my CSF rad from him.
Denny's Drive Shaft http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/ -- After fooling with a well know competitor's half-assed balancing attempts on their drive shafts I talked to Denny and received two 100% balanced drive shafts... after driving around for 2 years on unbalanced shafts these perfectly balanced shafts (NO vibes what so ever) made me love my XJ again.
And of course I have used Jegs and Summit racing for other parts.. not the cheapest prices but never had a problem with them.
And we can't forget about ebay.. while not one supplier I have scored several deals on there.. latest of which was an S&B CAI for only $99.
I'll add more later as time goes on...
