Where to surf?

[ojsdna744]

It's that time again. Stupid question time.

Where do you guys/gals surf for aftermarket parts for your 60s/62s? I've driven Jeeps for years and I'm used to websites ALL OVER THE PLACE for aftermarket parts for them. I bought this 62 to tinker with for awhile...and some mild off-roading. Where do I surf for parts/upgrades? Thanks in advance...Don

Ok. You really need to do a search for this. Google, not the forum. Lots of em out
there.

Do you have an issue of Toyota Trails? TLC parts/accessories vendors advertise there. And
there's a full page, 3 columns wide, IIRC, of businesses that support us. Try them first. Most
have websites.
If you don't have an issue of Toyota Trails, go to http://www.tlca.org/ and look into
membership. It's cheap. And you get 6 issues of the finest 4wheeling magazine available in
North America right to your door.
That's how I found out about many of the vendors I've dealt with.

try looking in the vendor section here. theres a few smaller places that have cropped up and seem to carry better parts and service. for oem, contact cruiser dan at american toyota- has abanner and believe in the vendor section. gives you good prices and great service.

if you like paying a lot for lesser quality parts, only buy from man-a-fre, spector off road and ccot they're not all bad, but they are expensive.

Look in the FAQ sticky thread in this same forum. There is a topic about this.

Thanks

I knew I'd get the dreaded "do a search rookie" answer. I've been searching google without much coming up for my 62. I'll go the way that has been suggested. The FAQ sticky is great...I've spent a lot of time there. We have that on my Jeep forum also.

Thanks for taking the time to answer...I'm considered "The wise old man" on my Jeep site...now I've become "The green newb" all over again! ;p Anyways, thanks again for taking the time,

Don

When your searching keep it general. FJ62s were only made a few years so not as much comes up for them. Most of the Cruiser places are carrying more and more stuff for Fj60s and 62s.

I just got a copy of 4WD Monthly from Australia - WOW! 90% Cruisers and Nissan Patrols. The Jeep guys are the oddballs over there.

Welcome to the site!

I like fj60.com they have much more than what they have on the website, I have also ordered from JTO and Coolcruisers with good results. I only use SOR when I can't get it anywhere else.
