Canadian online stores?

Anyone know of any good canadian online stores with good prices?
I don't like using us sites as shipping and such is a total hassle. far outweighs the cost savings.

I can't think of any Canadian shops that haven't given me a run around. Locally that is.

national 4x4 is another place, toy parts and acc might be a bit more difficult to get hold of but check them out.

National sucks.
There Burlington store has screwed me and friends over a few times. They are great if you want to wait 3 months for parts.

Yes i agree National is terrible in my opinion,,prices suck too. As much as it can be an inconvienence to go to the states for products I have only had good experiences with 4WD shops in the USA, also friendly and willing to help and compete on prices. I may not agree with the politics but their 4WD shops are top notch.haha

Well I wanted to find a few body parts and just good deals on misc items.

I found a site called.. www.autopartsonlinecanada.com Prices seem okay, free shipping with a 75+ doller purchase.

Anyone use this site?

for 4X specific, NSOR.com or national4wd are the only two i know of for online shopping. if youre looking strictly for off road toy stuff or oem parts, definitely hit up bigcountrycustoms.com if you havent already. taran (owner) can get you whatever you want, at a good price. IIRC, he's also an oem parts distributor now...

for regular maintenance/repair, i mostly use pythonparts.ca for most reman'd and oem replacement stuff. got my brakes & PS pump from them. also try canadiancarparts.ca..they often have specials like free shipping, and currently 25% off filters. same parts catalogue as python..but for some reason python didnt charge me core charges worth checking out for replacement parts. shipping costs are minimal, and since i dont live in ON, i dont pay PST...

Thanks!^

NSOR is only like an hour drive from me so I could just go up there and get the parts.

Usually the online stores have better deals so.

Ok, so I just checked out Trail-gear.ca and then called them. Trail-gear.ca is North Shore Off Road.

I got an awesome shipping quote from them too. Creeper Gussets, Pitman arm, FJ-80 TREs, Knuckle Rebuild kit and wheel bearings are only costing me $25 for shipping and not GST. Me likey.
