Please tell me your favorite--or least favorite--Wrangler accessory supplier

[mhiscox]

I'm looking to buying a variety of JK goodies--everything from grab handles to wheels--and was wondering whether you'd want to steer me toward, or away from, any of the the big Jeep accessory suppliers. I'm thinking more of the giant companies that sell everything (4WD Hardware, Central 4WD, 4WD Parts, etc.) rather than the vendors specializing in a few products.

Thanks. I figured that if I was sending money to some faceless company, it might as well be one generally thought worthy.

I've had great luck with quadratec. Just don't ask how much I've spent there...it's scary.

4WParts has given me the best prices; Quadratec has given me the best service...
Tellico 4x4 has also been solid.

I have had good luck with Northridge also.

Rompalicious 4x4 (www.rompalicious.com) and Quadratec are the hands-down the two best parts suppliers out there.

Good experience with 4WD Hardware, not so great experience with 4Wheelparts. Heard a lot of good things about quadratec, however, was never lucky with their prices or price structure. Price seams competitive at first, but depending on item they have additional shipping surcharges which they were not willing to waive, a pricing practice I don't appreciate.

But my all time favorite for suspension parts (and other Jeep stuff) is Kolak (Nick) no website, no catalog, just e-mail "Kolak at aol", tell him what you want and he quotes you. But lot of stuff from him over the last couple years, great prices and outstanding service.

I've had great service at Teraflex Plus. I've also ordered a lot of stuff from Wayne at www.Alljeep.com. Again awesome service.

Not a huge operation but 4x4groupbuy.com has great prices and awesome customer service!

If you have a 4 wheel parts locally. you can get some great deals. They often have coupon codes in the magazines. and local pick up is free. I got 20% off a cage and picked it up in the store the next day. so no shipping either. That is pretty hard to beat. Quadratech has a nice catalog. but I have never seen a sale from them. or a discount code. Last time I ordered from them they had my items on backorder for weeks. I finally had to cancel and just bought locally at 4 wheel parts for cheaper than Quadratech.

I know the owner of Rompalicious.com and I can tell you they are the best "small" Jeep parts company on the web. And if you call him and place an order and mention JPFreek, he may work a good deal with you just based on that.

Good luck!

I always used 4WD Hardware until they were bought out by 4 Wheel Parts Wholesalers. Now I buy from Quadratec.

To be fair, Quadratec and 4WD Hardware have given me similar great service.

I will never buy from 4 Wheel Parts due to their deceptive advertising. Regardless of their generally low prices. Specifically, about a year ago I was in the market for new tires and called them because of their advertised free shipping. They explained to me I need to read their fine print (FREE SHIPPING!!!!!! to one of our stores for pickup).

Maybe it is just me, but I do not expect to pay shipping if I buy it from a store or pick it up at the store. Free shipping, to me, means shipping, not picking up. I spent 18 years in the direct mail business as the responsible party for all our marketing. Never would I intentionally imply something that in fact did not exist.

(boo from me to 4 Wheel Parts Wholesalers and all their subsidiaries)
