Sold/Expired What vendors do you use/ recommend?

[P]

Thier tabs are just plain weak , and the inserts I got for my 1 1/4 ends ,everyone of them had to be re-tapped and when I called them they showed no interest in giving a **** or apologizing for the inconveinence... kind pissed me off. Luckily 6uldv8 hooked me up with a tap so I wasnt out anything but time.

We used thier lower tabs on Matt O's Jeep and they were waded up in just a few rides, replaced them with KORE mounts and no more problems.. ( Very Nice product Ken..... )

Used several tabs from them on B's Jeep too, pricing is good but material wise they scrimp.. And the coilover mounts they sell for D60's that are supposed to half hit the axle tube and half mount to the inner C are a joke... They dont fit for **** and wouldnt work if they did in my experience.

Other than that, sure they are great laughing1 ( you get what you pay for... they have low prices cause they have low quality product. ) They ship fast , I will give them that much. I would order from them again, but very selectively on what product Id trust. The multi piece design jigsaw stuff for 4 link components if your a "hard on stuff" kinda guy stay away from it. Probably be fine on lighter duty rigs... Just my .02

Yeah we have had a lot of experience with their cheap tabs and all have been bad. Their lower link mounts looked like this after a handful of rides:

 

[GStone]

it gives us a good venue to share experiences with vendors and not have them delted by the "man", like on PBB.

Exactly why I frequent this board more so than PBB, I can't stand that ****.

[BamaTJ]

I love working with PSC, those guys rock! They are in Texas which is two day shipping here and they always have it in stock!

Waynehartwig on pirate. His prices on yukon axles and gears are the lowest around.

 

[B Gillespie]

To add a few that havent been mentioned:

CTM Racing... Jack is knowledegable, you can almost always get ahold of him, and I dont think I have ever heard a bad word about him or his business. Plus, you cant break his axles. Even if you're Tom Wayes (unless you lose a spindle bearing).

Sunray Engineering has helped me out a lot, dont really know what all theyre doing now, but a great company for axle work and custom Jeeps.

 

[BamaTJ]

Winchline.com is top notch also. They have a great product and always go above and beyond to help me out. If you ever need winchline get it from them.

 

[BamaTJ]

No, always used Jon or Thor at winchline. They set me up with deep discounts and they have good stuff, I iwll keep going back.

Parts Mike

Awesome guy, he practically rebuilt my D60 for me over the phone and saved me about $200. Parts were here on time.

I have been fighting an intermittent wiring issue for some time and after tracing wires and double triple checking connections, I finally figured out it was a bad relay in the harness. Sometimes just a tap and it would work, or just a squeeze on the sides and she would be good to go. So after searching with no luck for a relay that had a built in fuse holder so I wouldn't have to hack into my harness like the one I had, so I called Afordable Fuel Injection to see about buying one. I told them I only bought a harness from them about 10 mos ago and was wanting to buy a relay to replace the bad one, and they said no worries, we will ship you out a handful for free. That was Wednesday, and low and behold they arrived today 3 freebies. Just wanted to pass along the good experience to all.....

I want to pass on big props to PSC. They got me signed up for the racer program after a bad experience with Howe. After installing the system I had zero issues until KOTH and I blew the check ball (relief valve) completely off the pump. Had to tap it out and put a bolt in it to keep running. So I called PSC last Monday told them what happened, Kelvin said to send the pump back and he will swap it. He said for racing he would recommend a special pump they have instead of the TC, so he sent me the upgraded pump and bigger pulley for free. Also got a new orbital as 4.5 and 5.5 turns to lock was getting old..... Going to test it all out this weekend! I would highly recommend PSC to anybody wanting a high quality but reasonably priced steering setup.

Wanted to add Essentially Off Road in Murfreesboro, TN to the this thread. Jimmy and Joe are always helpful, carry a lot of parts in stock and are easy to work with. Jimmy has helped me in the past and is always good to work with. The best thing about EOR from the buggy standpoint is they are distrubitors for so many part suppliers that you can get EVERYTHING you need to build a turn key buggy from them. Or if you want them to build it they can do that to...

I wanted to post up that I have had good luck with A&A Mfg. Ordered online, free shipping, shipped same day. They are mostly for race car stuff, but they have a ton of tabs and DZUS fasteners for really cheap.
