Cruiser Parts LLC.

Hello there, im in need of some of the forum members experience with the Vendor listed in the subject line. They are based in New Hampshire which is conveniently closer to me than any of the other well known shops in the northeast. Im in conversation with them about pulling a motor from one of their 100's they have on their lot for my 98 and they will refurbish it to like new standards while using aftermarket Japanese internals. Like a lot of you who keep these running we pay more than we bargained for and Im here again wondering what im doing. Im 5 years in and drove it cross country and back so its part of the family. However for now for my situation i like the idea of a basically new motor as I dont plan to let go of it in the near future and there was enough wrong with my current motor that it warrants replacing. So im curious if anyone on this forum has experience with Cruiser Parts LLC. and IF you guys are on here know hard feeling just doing my diligence. thanks y'all....

Just an update for the future potential customers... The 5th gear syncro on the 1fz input shaft is seized to the gear somehow, so the transmission does not function. Basically high prices for longer than advertised lead times and broken parts.

Figuring out what to do with it. I can fix it, but it's some bs, but I've learned a lot about how manual transmissions work. May just order another one and fight these people over $5k.

Good luck man. I will never buy anything from them again. Roman told me, he was the supervisor. Ha. I think they make money by sending customers the wrong stuff, then charging you a 25% restocking fee for returning it. Check this thread out about them. They are cons:

Agreed. I have bought multiple parts for my 60s and 80 over the years and have had multiple issues with them. The last time I bought...

a few years ago the place was for sale, no idea if it sold and has new owners

Have been there done that - and have had the same experiences as above

I don’t like to bad mouth other companies - but maybe you pick another one with a better more friendly track record

I've purchased a few parts from them (NOS misc. stuff) - Never had an issue

Thanks for the input I've read through all the threads and decided it’s a pretty even split of opinion. I’ve also used them for enough parts over the years and not had an issue so I went for it. Craig has been fantastic to deal with so far. I’ll report back in a few weeks when I get it all sorted. Thanks again
