Good reliable parts, Canada or Cross-border
« on: August 04, 2008, 03:34:42 PM »
I've been humming and hawing around the internet for the past couple of months since buying the Jeep, and have started to drool over the myriad of parts dealers out there.  My question is, do you folks have any recomendations for a good parts dealer either on the Canadian side or States?  Something that wont kill in customs duties...

I have dealt with Iron rock offroad, skyjacker and Kevins from the US. All three have great customer service, shipping isnt too bad and even after shipping everything was cheaper than calgary.

There is also North Shore Offroad in Vancouver, very reasonable shipping rates, and a very good store in the US is Northridge 4x4 out of Washington I believe, tons of inventory.

I vote for NSOR in Vancouver.  Even with shipping direct to your door, they are almost always cheaper than the local suppliers. Very good service too.

Thanks for the replies!  I've checked out the whole list and have seen some good places to grab some stuff.
Where would you guys go to order basic parts around Calgary?

I'm looking to replace things like a thermostat, radiator, etc. and do some backyard mechanic work by just ordering the parts.

I've thought of the usual Crappy Tire but that just wont cut it I dont think.  :P

Any thoughts on this would be great!

Cheers

Northridge 4x4.  Ask for David if you call, he can set you up with a guy who drop ships LARGE parts for very cheap.  i got both my PureJeep bumpers for my JK (front stubby winch and full rear tire carrier) at several hundred pounds for GST + $50.  Look em up.

Was lazy, and kinda wanted them to stock, but out of metal.  I could have made them at my old shop because we had a huge sheare and break.  Also had MIG / TIG machines.  The structural shop I'm in now only has flux/stick, and no break, so I'd have to weld every seam, torch cut everything....  Yeah, lazy.

I need to fab up a shovel/jack-all bracket though, and a tank holder for my CO2.....  Probably do that at my buddies' small customs shop.
