It seems like everyone who gets a new Jeep always wants to know where to get parts.. Perhaps we could have a sticky post listing all the jeep parts suppliers with contact info? Or maybe you could contact the parts suppliers for a deluxe listing with links, pictures, etc, which would actually pay a little for advertising?
Just a thought. |

Seems like having one place where folks could turn for a quick reference for parts they might need and the suppliers we all generally turn to when we need them would be a super idea - and a Handy one as well!
Breaking out some topics/ideas like this and the one recently done for the Bantam Trailers seems to be one of the things that makes this site such a good one....
Go for it!

If you go to the bottom of the home page (click on the green jeep), there is a "links" button. If you click on it there's a list of suppliers. Various members like different vendors (sometimes) it all depends on personal experiences with them. There are a couple that I won't even consider due to "circumstances" but other members have a very good relationship with the same vendors. I wouldn't speak badly about a vendor, I express my displeasure by not buying from them.

Note the date of my initial post....seems like only yesterday. I have been thinking lately that there is a need for some sticky posts..(can we even do sticky posts here/?) or even a section on "I bought a jeep, now what??" for topics like......WHere to start?( DOCUMENT AND PHOTOGRAPH) ....Where to get parts? PARTS SUPPLIERS LIST, to keep peace no place for opinions..) What year is my jeep? SERIAL NUMBER LIST>>)Are there any special parts in my jeep???KEYED COILS< SOLID RIMS< ETC>>)and how to sections...(John Barton's rebuilding guides..)
We could even get into a common mod. question section..(What tires fit stock??) What's an F head? How about overdrives?? How do I make a MB grille fit to do reenacting??Are there any mod's I shouldn't do? (Modify your sold rims for spinners, for instance...lol)
We have an incredible resource, both the page itself and the talent and knowlege gathered here. It would be a shame to lose some of the information simply because certain members move on to other interests....(For example, John Barton recently posted he was working on his last jeep and he seems to be selling off everything jeep related.......If his engine posts disappear it means a tremendous loss to folks who never rebuilt a flathead. )
Just thinking out loud on a Sunday morning.....fire away!
