Unassigned part, i.e. not in the retail system. Please send us an email* :D

*The phone sales team is setup to take orders for customers calling with parts list or calling for common parts they have access to data for. When it's a part that you can't find on our site and it's a part we are only going to sell 1 of them every other year, it's gonna be a minute before they are in the retail system :D. In those cases, shoot over an email (info@cruiseroutfitters.com) or use the Contact Us form and the team upstairs can look deeper at it and they will get right back to you with pricing and availability. We have ~7500 part numbers in-stock and in our standard POS system, i.e. call and the phone team can dig into it. Of those parts, 2549 are available for immediate purchase on CruiserTeq.com. Then the elephant in my corner, the thousands? of parts (not including vast amount sof OEM hardware) that sit in a few aisles upstairs that are unassigned. Their existence is known via a database our parts acquisition team (Bryce, Grey, Chance, myself) utilizes but they don't have Cruiser Outfitters part numbers, prices or assigned. They are lost sheep :D We are working our tails off to close that gap but it won't be done when I retire, so often it's easiest to think of it as the next guy or gals problem. Now you know the chaos behind a few aisles of parts upstairs :D

Thank you for all that info! I will try and remember that when I’m looking for something a little less stock.

I can’t imagine all the goodies hiding up there. I need to find a money tree, get a golden ticket and access to the VIP (very important parts) room and stock up.

Sent an email!
 
I should have stated: if you are in the United States, Japanese OEM parts will become very expensive no matter where you buy them. The $800 or less “no duties” deal is in the process of being axed as well.
Thus my recent PS parts haul.
 
To all who thought about bringing in a non-US vehicle. On April 3rd the import tariff goes from 2.5% to 27.5%. Your $20,000.00 truck just became a $25,000.00 truck.

To all who thought about bringing in a non-US vehicle. On April 3rd the import tariff goes from 2.5% to 27.5%. Your $20,000.00 truck just became a $25,000.00 truck.

I was wondering if it applied to older 25+ year old vehicles or just new imports. I thought the objective was to encourage stateside manufacturing of new vehicles.

That’s an interesting thought, I’m not currently in the market for another import at the moment, but man if it is on the 25plus as well, yikes.
 
Oh, it's everything, including parts.

Yeah reading around it’s everything…

Trump's 25 percent tariffs on imported cars and parts could impact classic cars, too - Magneto - https://www.magnetomagazine.com/articles/trumps-25-tariff-on-imported-cars-and-parts-could-impact-classic-cars-too/

Some interesting nuggets here:

“We’re hopeful, very hopeful, that they realise that they’ve misunderstood the situation on 25 year-old cars made overseas, and that they’ll rescind it on that,” says Martin. “All of the classics that we bring in attract 2.5% duty, and if it puts it up to 2.5% duty plus a 25% tariff, it’s going to completely kill the market.”

Thdere are some exceptions: any car originally manufactured in the US can re-enter the country without tariffs, and any objects – including cars – over 100 years old are classed as ‘antiques’ and should still be able to enter without tariffs being applied.

There’s a chance that classic cars will be made exempt from the tariffs, but the situation is more difficult with new parts for classic cars. Will it be possible to distinguish between new parts for old cars and new parts for new cars? It’s impossible to know at this stage.

The short notice of the executive order also means that there are cars already on the way to the US via shipping companies that will have been bought on the expectation that the import duty will be 2.5% but which are likely to have the extra 25% tariff charged on landing.

Mistakes were made...
 
I paid the 25% on my minitruck a few years ago.
Seemed absurd for many reasons.
 
The letter we saw said the new 25% is on top of the existing 2.5% for "automobiles". The letter did not specifically state "trucks". If the 25 goes on top of the 2.5 that suggests 25 would go on top of 25. Don't know. If that's the case it will likely completely crater the collector truck market.

And the collector import car market.

As an example: 33030-60450 has a MSRP for $3063.30

With the new part tariff, that unit will be $3828.75. If we then add the steel and aluminum tariff on top of that ( I don't know if the 25% steel and aluminum tariff applies to finished goods), then a new H55F goes to $4594.50

There goes the parts market as well. Game over for most shops that build Land Cruisers.

EDIT: Sorry Ben. This discussion really should be someplace else. I'll stop muddying your thread. Apologies.

No worries at all. It’s all VERY relevant to this forum. Discuss away, my tech is lacking lately.
