Default aftermarket parts suppliers who DONT suck?

Ok, Im looking for a specific part - the diamond plate piece that replaces the interior cover of my cargo door.
I searched using several terms and realized two things;
One: our search function isnt very good unless one can remember the exact name of a part/piece/supplier;
Two: why isnt there a STICKY for aftermarket parts suppliers with a good reputation (i.e. Lucky 8 should have a link but Bottoff Engeneering asshat should have a warning label) make sense?
Thanks guys and gals!

Pilsner,
These guys are in England, but it looks like the piece you are looking for.
4x4 SHADOW 3mm Chequer Plate
Hope this helps,

I have the plate from Columbia, but it is smooth stainless steel, not diamond plate. I've had mine about four years.

All I can find is the D1 plate. Are they the same dimensions as my D2?

I would give them a call on Tuesday morning and ask them. They used to sell a D2 version which looked to be the same, but they don't have it listed anymore.

Columbia overland does offer a D2 version I was just too dumb or lazy to find it. Thanks for the info?

Any thoughts on some admin type creating a STICKY of aftermarket suppliers with a good reputation? Had something like that existed many years ago Id have (potentially) saved $1400+ that I got taken for by Bottorff Engineering.
I know I am not the only one with money to spend on rover parts/upgrades who is concerned with finding a REPUTABLE person with whom to spend my hard earned money.
