Where do you buy stuff.

I thought i would start a thread for people like myself who are new to this world and are not sure who the good sites are to buy from and what products are good and reliable.

So if those of youwho order parts online wouldn't mind listing the websites you go to and what products you have found to be reliable and worth recommending.

Thanks

 

Amazon (generally cheapest source for almost anything), and Ebay. I avoid most of the auto parts sites like AutoAnything, etc. as I have found them to be the most expensive, with some very rare exceptions.

 

Why don't you look at the official vendors that support this website in the left hand column of the Home page. That is a good start

 

i would but times are tough, and if there are cheaper places for parts and accessories, i NEED to go that route. if they price match, i will bemore than willing to buy from supported sponsors...my mtorcycle forum supportors price match any deal we can find, so i always gowith them for that reason, if these guys do the same, its a wrap.

 

depends on the product. i found the westin grill guard on autanything.com the cheapest. but they aren't the cheapest on other items. examples below

autoanything.com
truckalterations.com- cheapest tommeau cover TW gets discount
shoptrd.com- cheapest toyota stuff
downsouthmotorsports.com- cheapest 5100s, thanks sonny

there are numerous sites you just have to go through them.
"free shipping" sometimes means higher retail prices but not always
sometimes there are sales of about 10-15%off
direct vendors sometimes are good

 

If they have the product I want at a competitive price, yes. They usually don't.

 

maybe 1 of you can help, i want all weather matts but in the back i would like a 1 pieece that covers teh center little hump. does that make sense? trd badgeing and what not. anyone knjow where to pick up soemthing like this. i seem to be able to find only 4 piece set

 

For me, it depend also on what I want. I have posted here if I am looking for a certain item, or read other peoples feedback on what they bought.
When I see and hear of an item/items I check there location they have given, then do a search on the same items to see if it is someplace cheaper.

 

I have seen this product, but not with the TRD or Tacoma logo in the back.

holy shit!!!! Now you made me print the freaking page!!!!!!

 

wow, that was my first time actually viewing


THE LIST

 

If "times are tough", why are you looking to buy mods? That should be about last on the list of priorities.

 

times being tuff means take the time to look for the cheapest route for a product, when they are not so tuff, i dont need to look around to save money, part comes first, but i appreciate the financial watch over. I own a house, new truck, motorcycle, crazy home theatre, and a girl. i can make things work, but i accomplish all this while single because i am smart with how i spend.
