My Fellow Canadians

Where in the hell are you guys getting your coilovers and rear shocks? Currently the best deal I can find is on ebay for some king 2.5 for $1400.

Help a buddy out eh? I don't want to spend too many of my Canadian peso's!

 

Where in Canada are you? @Kemosabe and @Bocsy44 are getting their lifts second hand from people near me, and in november/december I'm going to meet up with them to give them to them. If you're near them at all, some TW express action could be set up.

 

I am in Calgary about 4000miles from Maryland

 

whomp whomp. Good luck!

 

Thanks! I appreciate the effort.

 

There are Canadian shops that sell fox. I think there's one in bc that sells kings but buddy who posted about it got banned before I could ask him the name. I know tdot performance sells bilstein and maybe fox too I don't remember and they have free shipping. But prices are still high. I've priced out a few different kits and honestly it just as much to what it shipped up from the state's as it is to just buy it here. If you're set on getting kings, good luck finding them at a good price let alone in Canada haha it's unfortunate but it's the truth. The only way is to be patient and keep on eye on the buy sell trade forum. Get to know people on here and they r usually willing to hook u up good. Kemosabe is buying eatsleeptacos previous lift and I snagged a good deal on a bilstein set up from someone local to him so we r driving down to meet him half way to pick it up haha if I see any good deals for sale or find a well priced shop I'll let u know

 

@Joe23 @tacoma16 @Thyces you guys have any advice for the man? Where u got urs from/brand?

 

Well, I would rather go to another shop but for my rtt and camping stuff I have had really good luck with 4wheelparts. Haven’t bought anything suspension wise from them.

 

It takes time but you have to be brave and take a ride to the states and get it used or slightly used... or save more money and buy new, and still feel like they are thieves because it is so damn overprice on this side of the border...

 

Great offer @EatSleepTacos there is a thread that needs to be started ! A TW express thread . Then whenever someone is heading somewhere they could post up and people could give them parts to drop along the way .

 

There's a few! It's come in handy quite a few times over here on the East coast.

Tdot performance is terrible. Fuck them. Give me a little when I get on my computer I'll post some

 

Haha I've bought a couple things from them but that's cuz they had the same price as everywhere else and free shipping

 

the only thing I bought from them was my power tailgate otherwise fuck them.

 

Raven Truck Accessories might be worth a shot for that area, I know the guys from 410 Expedition on youtube have some tacos and they use raven. Qucikly glanced at their site didn't seem like they have anything good though.

I've ordered wheels from Cochrane Toyota, aka tacomatown, https://tacomatownonline.com/collections/toytec-lift-kits
They deal with Toytec, and were the only source for FN Wheels in Canada

quick google search gave me this place http://matrixmotorsports.ca/products/trucks/off-road-lifestyle/suspension, sounds like they're more bro mall crawler style cunts but worth a shot lol.

I'm in toronto so I get my stuff locally here.
Basically want you want to do is find a shop that deals with the US companies. Cochrane toyota for instance deals with Toytec, so they can likely get you anything that Toytec would carry.

I found CT Motorsport here in Toronto as a company that deals with RCI, Toytec, ARB, Kings and plenty of others. My lift is a full fox 2.5 extended length coil over, fox 2.5 extended length shocks in the rear both with remote reservoir, dakar leafs, total chaos UCAs, all of it was bought from CT. I'm not sure if they would be worth the price to order from, if they even ship out that was as shipping can get pricey.

Your best bet is finding a local off road type shop, they'll likely be able to find you stuff. Look for Calgary offroad clubs, you'll find help from them.

Try this thread https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ur-aftermarket-parts-canadian-edition.389231/
Or make a 3-4hour drive to Montana? check this site www.kinek.com
I use kinek as a mailbox in the US for stuff too. All my armour aside from sliders were just bought from the US, then shipped to Niagara Falls, NY then I make the two hour drive and pick the stuff up, pay the taxes and thats it.


otherwise maybe @OZ-T or @Sterdog can chime in, they're from the west area.

 

@Cvoggs knows of me from another forum lol.

Locally Cochrane Toyota, The GearShop, and 4WheelParts are your best options. Cochrane Toyota has everything you'd ever want for suspension but they aren't cheap. The GearShop is really biased IMHO because they are heavily supporting Icon right now but if you like Icon that's a match made in heaven. The GS also deals CBI and Demello armor. 4WheelParts is the cheapest option, you can look up what you want from Billi, Fox, and others online and then order those part numbers drop shipped into Calgary for no extra charge off the 4WheelParts website. The problem with 4WheelParts is that they often habe no clue when it comes to what you want so they are about as helpful.as a Wal-Mart when it comes to electronics. 4WheelParts does not deal armor for Tacomas yet. They have a pending deal with Allpro

 

As for border shipping there are tons of options. Personally I'd recommend either Montana Shipping Outlet location. One is in Sweet Grass and the other is in Eureka. You simply register online with them and then start receiving packages there at your leasure. Prices are very fair for handling.

 

Wow... Coming from the Volkswagen community, the amount of replies here is amazing.

On that note I chatted with @Sterdog and ill be talking with a few local suppliers for pricing and if that doesn't pan out ill be planning a road trip into Montana. if that happens ill make a thread and be a delivery boy.

again everyone thanks for the replies!

 

Welcome to tacomaworld is all I have to say. Good luck with the hunt!

 

I recently ordered shocks/coils/leafs/UCA's etc from Headstrong Offroad and even with shipping to Newfoundland and the poor exchange rate, it was cheaper than any Canadian shop. Great customer service too - they're a vendor on here.
