Anyone have suggestions for the best site to buy aftermarket parts for 1st gens

 

Here are a few, I'm sure others will chime in as well but its all kinda dependent on what you are looking for specifically. https://lowrangeoffroad.com/

OEM replacement parts

Your question is a little vague, you may want to refine it and ask about specific parts you might be looking for.

In general though, for most critical replacement parts, sensors, ball joints, etc.. Toyota OEM is the only way to go. Especially the ball joints. Anytime I have used a parts store part, I've had to go back and replace it with an OEM part within a year. I usually research part numbers on parts.toyota.com and then shop around online to get the best price. Stay away from e-bay or Amazon sellers unless you can verify that the seller is actually a dealer or legit entity. There are tons of counterfeiters on those platforms.

You'll need to ask about more specific things. Sometimes, with things like Injectors lets say, there is a consensus that another seller has a better option than OEM (MotorWest for injectors).

 

I like rockauto's parts lookup tool. The parts have been perfectly compatible every time so far. A lot of OEM parts are discontinued, more every year.

 

For parts, I prefer partsouq (plug in your VIN#) for searching for a specific part. Drilling down is much easier on their site than others. OEM and fast shipping/best prices.
I also use Toyota of Colorado Springs - https://parts.toyotaofcoloradosprings.com/. They tend to be in-line with McGeorge pricing.

As for aftermarket performace parts, I 100% will NOT recommend Wheelers/TG/LowRange/All-poo. More than one bad experience with CS and quality. No thx.

Have ordered from all of these when I was converting the PreRunner to 4WD. All had excellent service and I'd order from them again.

Haven't ordered anything from https://www.4wheelparts.com/ in a long time. I would give them a chance before I went back to AP.

I hadn't ordered anything from 4wheelparts until just recently when I got my ProComp 69 alloy wheels. Wheels are pretty straightforward though. The good thing is that they regularly have sales or discount items- If you don't need something tomorrow, it's pretty easy to wait and pick up what you want when the opportunity comes.

I was recently on a local hunt for some ES shock bushings, and hit 4wheelparts and offroad warehouse, and man... It's a trip to sit there and listen to some of the sales pitches and BS they tell people. It's also the fault of people who go there without doing any research on their own.

 

If you are looking for aftermarket parts I am happy to help you out. I work at Off Grid 4x4 and we are just out in Frederick. Looks like you are in Longmont (where I am from) We carry just about every major brand and are all toyota nerds here so we can find just about anything you need.
