Default Parts distributors

Hi everyone I’ve been trying to get parts both locally and from a couple of the big ghee vendors who advertise on here. Both vendors have said they’d call me back, and a second call from me had been replied they would email me. Well I have yet to be contacted. I’m in Canada, just north of Detroit. Are there any shops close by or in Canada that might be better?

Have you tried Lucky8 in NY?
Can't beat their prices or customer service.
I've bought alot from them, multiple times, and will be again soon.
They are excellent to deal with.
Which is the same story from many members here.

The Lucky8 crew is my go to guys. They even bring all the common items to off road events so they have spares on hand for those oops moments when wheeling.

Oh and speaking of parts, "if" you end up in the boonies and for some crazy reason need a coil pack for a Bosch D2/P38, a Kia Sportage SOHC 4 cylinder uses the same ignition coil.

They sometimes have different part #'s due to brackets, 1 coil vs 2, but the actual coil is the same darn thing. I've checked just for pure hell of it & laughed when they don't list a coil pack for a D2 and it's a special order part, but tell em you drive a 95 Kia Sportage and they'll run to the back and bring you the part.....

lucky 8 was one of the vendors I was waiting for a reply from. They’ve had a great sale on that I wanted to take advantage of. So I just ordered everything online. Hope it all works out good. 3”Lift kit, tom woods front shaft, cdl and 2 lock actuators . The build is gonna start.

I can never get a call back. Just call them again. They don’t reply to my emails either...maybe it’s just me
