The guys who work the phones sound like they only do this to support their off-road habits.  They know the product and understand what you’re asking them.

Aqualu

Body

Good Good 

Super customer service.  Their trucking company lost the body in transit for ~1 month.  They were all set to ship a new one when the original showed up.  The lack of drama in dealing with Aqualu was refreshing.

Beard Seats

Seats

Great seats, but they missed on the seat brackets.  Never did get a promised adapter, so I ended up fabbing one up myself.

Collins Bros. Jeep

Good place for old/original Jeep parts.  If you need it, they probably have it.

Great place for gauges and fittings with good pricing.

Their online/email channel is weak, but on the phone I learned about the JC Whitney special packaging that included vents and hose.

Impact Racing

Safety Harness

Good

Bill Simpson was already a legend in the race safety domain when he started IR to prove that he could build the best harness in the business.  The quality of the product is super!

JC Whitney

Misc Parts

Good 

Talking to Heatercraft, I learned that JCW uses its market power to get a supplier to value-add an item and create a JCW exclusive.  They have come a long way from their quirky South Side Chicago roots as Warshawsky’s (The catalogues were filled with “Who buys this stuff?” items, and if you really needed fuzzy dice…)

Air Suspension

Guys who know their stuff and use high quality components.  Working with Steve S. in making the Airock suspension work with the D60’s was a joy.

Repro Parts

Parts are not exactly great quality and unresponsive customer service.  At times, they’re the only game in town, so you gotta pay to play.

Good stuff and Kelvin is great to work with.  They have figured out how to deal with tech questions via e-mail and phone.  Had a problem with a part and it was resolved without any hassle.

Junkyard and high integrity are usually mutually exclusive concepts, but not here.  Their stuff is exactly as advertised and when I’ve had issues they were resolved without drama.  Priceless!

Jeremy Pulse, the TDK owner, epitomizes the concept of craftsmanship in his frame fabrication. Almost seems a shame to hide it under a body.
