[QUOTE="DOWNS, post: 440500, member: 21038"] Rock Auto most of the time. When I'm parts shopping unless I'm only getting one or two parts, I'll have Rock Auto, Amazon, Oriley's, Napa, Auto Zone and Carquest/Advance Auto websites open and doing a lot of comparison shopping. For the most part Rock Auto and Amazon win out over the FLAPS because I can get the brand I want for a lot less than the FLAPS house brands even if you factor in shipping, I don't have to deal with clueless counter folks, and the other citizens that generally make life miserable. NAPA used to be the go to for parts you know you could probably depend on, but they get their house brand stuff from the same places Oriley's and AZ do anymore. I have taken to keeping a stock of wear parts on my shelf at home. For my daily (95 XJ) I've even gone as far as having a spare engine and transmission around. For what it's worth on the Crown and Omix front. I've got a 47 CJ2A, and it has a lot of OMIX and CROWN stuff on it. But it's also bone stock. There is still a large market for CJ2s and 3s overseas, so a lot of these parts come from the Philippines and India, not always China. To me, these brands are mostly OK for something that you're leaving stock, but always do a search via Google to see if anyone has been having issues with a specific part. [/QUOTE]
