Where to buy stuff

Over the next few months, I'll be buying a whole lot of stuff...  The question is where.  I will assume there isn't a local Willys dealer in Edmonton, so online buying will be happening.

What websites are recommended, both for big ticket items (like the tub kit) and for assorted parts?  They need to be willing/able to ship to Canada.  For big ticket items, if there's a non-web-based supplier that is highly recommended, I would deal with them, too.

If there's a storefront dealer in Western Canada (AB BC SK) or the US NW (WA, ID, MT, OR), I might be willing to drive over with my trailer, if they had just about everything I might need in stock...

Thanks,

-Paul

I REALLY like Walcks 4WD. A small family run business with fast friendly service. Lots of parts are made in the USA and they will stand by you if the part fails due to a flaw.

http://walcks4wd.com/

Then I use Beachwood canvas for my canvas needs, like seat covers and tailgate chain covers.

https://www.beachwoodcanvas.com/index.cfm

Kaiser Willys has a better website. I usually use their site to find the part I need and look it over in the pictures then find it at Walcks.

http://www.kaiserwillys.com/

And I got my top from New Life. Really like them too. A small outfit. There is a 2 year waiting list though I hear.

I made this a sticky. It is a good reference for other new comers.

Body parts here.

Interesting things here

Mostly military stuff but I found the clips that hold the brake lines to the axle here:

More here:

Found a heat riser kit here, and a crank pulley nut with a hand crank pin:

But most of my stuff comes from Walcks...

Isn't Willys Acres in Canada? I don't have the time to find the link, as far as I know he is still a tub dealer for MD Juan .

I've bought a few things from Morris 4X4 Center http://www.jeep4x4center.com/willys/menu.htm I've found them to have good pricing and customer service.

But of course, can't go wrong with Walck's.

Anything with Omix-Ada I try to avoid now. I learned some the hard way and learned not to be in too much of a hurry. You might find a parts Jeep could be a big help. There are many places to look and some are way better than others. Shocked Undecided

When shipping to Canada cost will be a factor. Try to buy multiple items at one time from one dealer to combine shipping.
If buying a big ticket item you may want to check out uship.com to see if any trucks are heading your way.
If you buy a part on ebay or Craigslist from the USA make sure the seller dosen't quote a value higher then you paid when they ship it... You'll be pay taxes/customs on that amount.  Angry

Hi there,

i thought this is the right thread to ask my question (although it is a bit old): I am in the process of rebuilding my CJ3A. As i am living in Germany, buying stuff in the States and shipping it over can be expensive due to shipping costs and customs. I have been looking for a supplier of parts in Europe, but couldn't find a real good one. So, is here anyone from Europe who knows a good shop/store?

Thanks,
Klaus
