sup guys . i was wondering where some of you guys order oem or aftermarket parts for your pickups from online . i know theres jegs , summit , napa etc . wanted to know which place is generally the better one . i need to start somewhere ...........
IF you got a naked chick send her my way (no fatties!) I like Jegs better than Summit! as far as other sites, my routine is to hit em all when I'm looking for something in particular I use google "shopping" to check prices also, and don't forget ebay and craigs Unfortunately there are few "toyota" dedicated websites/stores/shops anymore The ecomony has killed guys like Downey and other toyota specialty shops so you just kinda have to look around...
When I online shop, I usually get it from rockauto.com They will have stuff you would never think of having, like a pitman arm seal (gearbox) for a 77 toyota. 2 bucks = WIN! There badass, but the shipping calculator is a straight up rip off. Anything else I get off ebay, only if it has free shipping.
Just found this on here, they have parts I couldn't find elsewhere. I already spent $125 there last night!

I have seen quite a few posts on this forum over the time I have been on here where people have paid more for used parts either on ebay or junk yard finds than they are new and still available from the dealer. Everyone should check the dealer 1st as you would be surprised at at what's available as new genuine toyota parts. Also I have gone to the dealer and had a parts guy who wasn't interested in helping me get parts tell me that they don't exist anymore and then another parts guy tell me they do and order them for me.
lol , i like em all ! no discrimination man !........... yeah , that sucks , a site like downy is what i was seeking ... yeah , ill have to use "the google" and search around ... thnx MTB .
thnx alot rafaeili ....... def will check out rockauto ..... will be cautious of their suspect calculator .
i have found some stuff to be really cheap @ the dealer ship like oil filters & belts stuff like that give them a call and atleast price it i use rockauto, Jegs, http://www.engnbldr.com/ for motor parts good prices quality and all around nice guys
I use rockauto for whatever I can. their shipping isn't cheap but it's usually pretty reasonable for what's being shipped. even with shipping it's usually still cheaper than any of the parts stores by a lot. Most of them need to order my stuff anyway so it doesn't make much difference.
I use usautoparts.net, years ago i used to have a long bed 87 and find all kinds of parts for it there.
Parts train .com .. beware retarded shipping and handling .. but they have all the little bits like window gaskets.
