I've found the best place to find stuff like this, is craigslist.
craigslist classifieds: jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, events, forums

lmao! A parts store
Ok, now I am just being a smartass
You must have better parts stores than around here. Or your rig is still basically stock.
Mine is an 83 CJ7 with a 75 AMC 401 with a GM ignition system.
The parts store has the employees that can only look on a computer, so they get lost easily.Craigslist is a good source also, but I have found that fellow Jeepers seems to be the way to go.

For me it is looking for used mostly as the others have said. (save sum cash)
If I'm going new (or used) I go to my local 4x4 shop, he is usually cheaper than the internet, and if it is the wrong part he is only a few miles away.
He also installs what he sells, soooo if I have problems with the install I can ask him about it.

I've the same engine setup, then add Dana 60's & a T-19. I've found it's best to spend time on the computer & have part#'s. If you can wait ,I think it better order on line to. Usually better prices.You must have better parts stores than around here. Or your rig is still basically stock.

Longhorn,
What's the difference between the T-18 and a T-19?

Syncros in all forward gears & a slightly different reverse idler setup.

I personally like the craigslist route. I have met some pretty good folks while looking for parts on there. Heck I found the jeep on there and traded for it with a guy that wasn't even looking for an old beat up boat. The other day I reponded to a craigslist post and it turns out the guy was only a couple of minutes from my job. I didn't really need anything he had but stopped by on my way home and ended up visiting with the guy for an hour. Ended up getting a speedo wiring harness, dimmer switch and some good info for all of 10 bucks. I have as much fun meeting new folks that enjoy tinkering around as anything else.

Does anyone know a better place to buy Jeep accessories for older models near Dallas. My Jeep is really starting to make trouble but I don't like to sell it right now. It is now more than 20 years old but still running satisfactorily. I need to buy parts for it but for a reasonable price.
