other sites?

[B192734]

So I was looking around trying to figure out some good places online to get parts, and was wondering if anyone knew of any other sites out there that are worthwhile. I/ve gotten stuff from Rusty's before so that's a good one, and I've looked at Quadratec. Any other ideas? Just looking for selection, and to keep the options open.

Hey 4 wheel parts has a store in your town

PORTLAND
2700 SE. 82nd. Ave.
Portland, OR 97266

Phone:503-774-4000
Fax:503-777-6230

get down there and see this stuff live and upclose.
Those guys are usually pretty good and they install lifts, tires, parts right there.

That is excellent. I'd rather have them do it themselves instead of me. Then I only have to know how to repair it when I break it. I'll learn the rest of it later.

Doing it yourself will help your chances of being able to fix trail damage.

learning the rest later sounds an awful lot like putting it off, its worth your while to learn the first time around, if you're going to beat on a rig, you better know how to fix it.

Just a joke guys. I would like to put it on myself, but I would rather do it the first time with someone who knows what they are doing. I'm more worried about getting out there and having to repair something because I did something wrong the first time around. That's my main concern. I don't really have to worry about getting to work or anything, since we have a second car. What kind of difficulty level would everybody consider a lift?

I would say you need to have a moderate skill level to do a lift. It seems like so much when you start on it but by the time you get done your going, Is that it? once you start to take parts off then see what is really there the task seems much less daunting.

Skill level is not an issue for most, but when I did my first lift, I found out that you sure need a crap load of tools, jacks, jack stands, clamps and just about every other airtool and hand tool known to mankind.
I'm glad I had everything, but man I was cleaning and putting up tools for a week. When I do my next lift, I think I will wait till I can get somewhere and use a sidepost lift. Jacks and jackstands suck in the driveway. I remember being so worn out crawing under and out from under that thing over a two day period.
