Best sources for Auto Parts:

Hey ... I thought it might be a good idea to list all of the sources we know of for parts. Here is what I know:

JEEP SPECIFIC PARTS SOURCES:
http://allchryslerparts.com/ Good source for dealership parts at decent prices
http://www.discountjeepparts.com/catalog/index.php Discount jeep parts
http://www.just4jeep.com/ Good source for rebuild kits, etc.
http://www.quadratec.com/ Good source for OEM and aftermarket parts.
http://www.rigidsteel.com/ Various jeep parts


GENERAL PARTS WEBSITES:
http://planetautoparts.com/ Almost always the cheapest. Plus free shipping on all orders over $50.00 (no handling charge). Only problem, their site doesn't allow you to look up your part for your vehicle. You can only search by part number. Use another site to find the part number.
http://www.partsamerica.com/ website for various auto parts stores, including Kragen, Checkers, Schuck's, Murray's, Advance. This site is EXCELLENT for finding and viewing parts. Get the part number and buy from another site. Free shipping to your local store
http://autozone.com/home.htm Generic parts site
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/
http://www.jcwhitney.com/ AutoParts catalogue moved to the web. It's been a long time since I purchased there, but they used to have some low-quality stuff. They seem to be better now.
http://www.partstrain.com/ "Hard to find parts and accessories"
http://www.rockauto.com/ Excellent service, great prices, good search capabilities on the website. Unfortunately, they also add shipping costs, so shop carefully.
http://napaonline.com/ Website for your local NAPA store
http://www.1aauto.com/ They post a 1-800 number


SPECIALTY STORES:
http://rebuilt-auto-engines.com/ They do an excellent job of rebuilding motors. Got my 4.0 HO from them, and it's doing great. They were recommended to me by 2 different local mechanics who have installed many of their motors with no problems.
http://www.partsexpress.com/ Good source for electrical/audio stuff
http://www.aircoparts.com/ Air conditioning parts
http://www.clutchcityonline.com/ Offer OEM-quality and performance clutch stuff. Got my clutch kit from them ... lowest price, high quality, excellent service. Toll-free number
http://www.perfectfit.com/ Upholstery supplies
http://radiatorbarn.com/ High quality all-metal radiators & condensers, great prices. I bought an all-metal 3-row rad for $152.00 shipped. When it arrived I was happy to find out it was a CSF. Toll-free number

Anybody know any more?

http://www.jeep4x4center.com Lots of XJ parts, but I have not ordered from them.

http://www.partstrain.com

BTW, this thread was a great idea!

http://www.xjjeeps.com/manuals/ A website that has XJ parts manuals in PDF format.

Make this a sticky!!!!

Lose some of the conjecture, and it would by far be more useful.

Morris 4x4 Center - www.morris4x4center.com. Prices and service both quite good - I've ordered from them several times. They carry OEMR and Omix-Ada (much the same thing.)

5-90

http://www.chryslerpartsdirect.com/ "Genuine Mopar Parts at Dicount Prices"

Nice thread...this should be a sticky.

Let's not forget http://www.teamcherokee.com , specializing in XJ stuff.

For finding used parts: http://car-part.com/

http://www.mscdirect.com High quality specialty tools such as ball joint vises
http://www.tapcointernational.com An exporter in South Florida that carries a selection of Jeep parts
http://www.radiators.com Aftermarket all-metal, three row radiators for XJs

Thought I'd revive this thread to post one more:

http://www.autopartsgiant.com/

They have the lowest prices I've found anywhere.

http://planetautoparts.com/ Almost always the cheapest. Plus free shipping on all orders over $50.00 (no handling charge). Only problem, their site doesn't allow you to look up your part for your vehicle. You can only search by part number. Use another site to find the part number.
http://www.partsamerica.com/ website for various auto parts stores, including Kragen, Checkers, Schuck's, Murray's, Advance. This site is EXCELLENT for finding and viewing parts. Get the part number and buy from another site. Free shipping to your local store

Better yet Kragen, Checkers and Schuck's all have a price match deal. So get the part number from them and goto http://planetautoparts.com/ to get the price and a print out. Take the printout to Kragen, Checkers or Schuck's and you have it made right?

http://www.thejeep.com/piland.html Get a replacement for your remote
http://www.headlinerkit.com/index.shtml Index of Headliner suppliers
http://www.fiveomotorsport.com/Injector_Sets.asp Should be called “injectors are us”

Places I've used:
www.shermanparts.com Floorpans and other replacement body parts
www.makeitmopar.com Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep parts at decent prices with good service
http://www.eastwoodco.com paint rust treatment, autobody stuff, some mechanical stuff
http://www.nolansupply.com/ fasteners, metals, plastics, lots of stuff
http://www.harborfreight.com/ inexpensive tools (not all are cheap), metal fab equipment

places I haven't used:
http://www.woodwardfab.com/ metal fab equipment

Hey ... I just wanted to give an update on my latest entry:

http://www.autopartsgiant.com

These guys are amazingly terrible. I ordered some U-joints from them, and they charged my card, then sat on my order for more than 2 weeks.

When the order finally arrived, almost three weeks after the transaction, they sent the wrong parts! They substituted a lower-quality part ... same brand name, but a lower line of U-joints. I paid for the GMB "Performance" U-joints, then received the GMB "Standard" U-joint. There is a big difference ... the performance joints are heavier, stronger, beefier. They come highly recommended on some other forums. When I called the company, they refused to handle the situation fairly.

I was transferred to a "Customer Service Rep" named "Eduardo," who sounded and acted like he had just been recruited at the prison gate on his release day. He immediately became confrontational and hostile. I asked to speak to his supervisor, he flat-out refused to transfer me, said "no-way, man ... you no gonna speak to him or nobody. You gonna speak to me, and we no gonna pay for it." I'm a professional guy, and I treated him in a polite, professional manner, and got nothing but childish crap in return.

When I finally got the customer service manager on the line, he agreed to the refund, plus pay for the shipping to return the item. When I explained to him what happened with "Eduardo," he made it very clear to me he didn't give a dammn about what happened.

I will NEVER do business with this company again. As a matter of fact, I'm just about ready to write off all California mail-order companies, because the quality of service has been terrible with the majority of California companies I've done business with.

Anyway ... just needed to get that off my chest. I recommend steering clear of this company.

Another to shy away from. Charged my credit card 35 days ago for a TC drop kit. Wouldn't read email in a timely matter let alone answer your questions. Phone number is a voice mail box which is always full. Shipped it last week even though I requested that they cancel my order. Asked for a return authorization number and I get a short email saying "Just refuse the package"
Just a "heads up" with them.

Now if we could just get some or those on board as advertisers.
