Who do you use for parts?

Who do you use for parts?

I use http://walcks4wd.com most if the time. I find that it's a lot simpler to call than use the online store. Also they seem to have a reasonable selection of used parts.

I'm looking and getting some body parts to do a bit of patching. I was thinking they would have a good selection.

Novak has a very good rebuild kit for the T90. I used one I there kits on my CJ and it was very nice and the instructions they send are very good.

In fact if it weren't them I probably would have bought a repro tub.....gasp....

Check out the sticky "Where to buy parts" in the Tech section.  Lots of links to different sources for body parts.

My personal favorites are Peter Debella,  Walcks, Harry Sheets @ Midwest Willys, Herm the Overdrive Guy and your local craigslist.  Willys rallys are a GREAT place to find good parts.  Like others have said in the past, buy US made parts (used, reproduction, or NOS) whenever possible.  Oversea parts are hit and miss on fit, finish and quality...

Good Luck!
