Who besides CCOT is a good supplier of basic FJ40 Cruiser Parts? I've purchased items from
SOR (shipping prices to Texas is absurd) and Man it Ain't Free. I'm tired of ordering
things that take them 2 weeks to get to me. I live a 100 miles from CCOT, so it isn't
UP'S fault. When items are on back order they don't tell you until you finally start wandering and ask them. I've had ND spark plugs ordered since Dec 2nd and they still haven't shown. Guess they are being sent by carrier pigeon from Japan. :mad:

Those guys need to get some customer service going.
 
Thanks guys.........I'm all for supporting your local businesses, but if you can't depend on them, no thanks.
 
I get my ND plug at my Toyota dealer. good price, FAST service. The dealer is the best for tune up parts.
 
For a variety of reasons, I'm not a big fan of CCoT. Their pin-up girls are allright though, especially the 2004 version.

For OEM do yourself a huge favor and buy from CDan on this board. He knows Cruisers so you can order that thing-a-ma-jig on the back of the knuckle and he'll know what you mean. Great prices too-I got FJ60 wheel cylinders for just a few dollars more than CCoT wanted for Taiwanese knockoffs.

For non-Oem there are many choices. I have bought a bunch of parts from Mudrak(great) and from SOR who is pricy but their stuff is excellent. I bought a 4+bumper, shackles and bushings from MAF and that was a good transaction. I have heard that in the past that MAF was terrible, but my experience a year ago was very satisfactory, in fact I would buy from them again.

My next purchase will be from Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters. I called him about a spring over question and he talked to me for 15 minutes and I've never even been his customer. He sounded like a great guy to do business with. www.cruiseroutfitters.com

For used parts, I've had good luck with cruiserparts.net.
 
like others have said, the dealer and Dan in piticular can get you any stock part that CCOT can get.............more then often for less. CCOT has it place for sure, and alot of their OEM parts are priced pretty well actaully.

other good vendors
Cruiser Outfitters
Urdan Cruisers
Marks Off Road
Cruiserparts.net

and others for sure.....
 
i've heard Jt outfitters is the place :flipoff2: lol i have heard many bad experinces but when i was young in the cruiser world i ordered a few things off them (little things-hood latches and the like) very nice guy and helpful..nice having someone that owns a 40 talking on the other who knows what stuff is like not just having a pimple face teen looking at a microfiche going wtf? cant help ya :flipoff2: anyways i will probably be ordering a good bit of stuff from C-dan and a few other mud supporters! :D
 
I have bought a good bit of stuff from TPI 4x4. Bob always does me right! He is in TN.

All are good vendors with quality products....American Toyota (cruiserdan) is the place for anything you need Toyota original quality for. Many of the others also carry aftermarket stuff.
 
All the vendors mentioned are good in context. OEM part Cruiserdan, wierd, fast, easy OEM parts CCOT. really wierd parts SOR but expect to pay.

You can shop for hours. I would suggest you develope a relationship with a few vendors and stick with them. IE: smaller vendors and Dan.

There is a reason I dont do retail!
 
Liquidoffroad is on the other side of Dallas from you. Not exactly a place to swing by for you, but you could save a bunch on shipping for the larger items.
 
Thanks Herky........didn't know Liquid was in Dallas. Greenville would not be a bad drive to run and pick up big stuff.
