    Been to 4WParts. I'm not sure they're that great.

    Any other places that are knowledgeable and trustworthy near San Jose?

    whadya want to have done? For most straightforward stuff, the recommendation is to DIY or do it at a mod day so that if your junk breaks on the trail, you know how to fix it.

    Most of us buy parts mail order.

    A lot of work gets done at "mod days"

    This guy did my slider install and cab mount chop: he's a one man operation.
