Jackaroo Spares Prices

Yep all the parts for a Jack are expensive. I just about choked when I needed to replace the a/c compressor at nearly $2k plus labour and at that time no one I could find made an after market compressor that fitted. Even they gy fitting it seemed a bit stunned at the price. The real rub was that you need the a/c pulley to turn as it can not be bypassed with a shorter belt. I still don't remember the hoses and belt costing that much, even from the dealer. I would have expected less than $150 (Last time I got a belt I thought they were ~$75 and hoses $30-40 each). I was plesently surprised when i moved to a 79 Series L/C . The parts were so cheap, even from the dealer I went to. I ended up paying less than 2/3 of what I expected and and 1/2 what they would have cost for the Jack. I am talking about a dealer with a big spare parts area here, the others cost an arm and a leg. I was buying a lot of stuff and I got a very good discount from the dealer.

Oh yeah ISUZU hurts at the dealer but there are plenty of options to source quality parts from other means!

Rob at Jackaroo World can source just about anything, even bearings etc for transmission rebuilds.

I remember getting wheel bearings quoted at Holden for a 93 Rodeo....$200 EACH! not kit....EACH that was about $800 for the 4 bearings and then you need inner hub seals. CBC got the kits for $60 each side...$120 all up!

The Jackaroos are great trucks but if you dont own something 'common' then it always costs a little more...or you have to search a little farther!

Goodluck with it,

Matt.

Ive been buying genuine isuzu filters for my rodeo from coventrys for a much cheaper rate than you can get from the dealers.

As they say, it does pay to shop around.

Prices vary a lot amongst manufacturers.

Two hoses and the twin belts for my 79series are about the same price from Toyota as aftermarket. Also the filters for our Nissans are cheaper from the dealer than they are from Supacheap.

I am currently looking for a rear bumper with lights for the Jackaroo. had one price for $250.00 bumper bar withhout lights second hand. Another place with a bumper bar with lights $575.00 and Holden only wanted $1200.00 something dollars for a bar with lights.Holden price for tail light only $232.00
So yeah it pays to shop around.
Anyone have a rear bumper bar for sale ;-)

Yep - a stitch it seems - I bought a pair of genuine hoses from my TD Jack through Motor Traders in SA - $90 the pair (5 years back) - thought that a rip off - they are quite small - rather simple - if we had time, we could source something in a wreckers, even if you had to cut them a little - but we are always too busy to muck around. By contrast a genuine fuel filter is quite cheap via the dealers - anyway, IMO if you give dealers a wide berth as a general practice, you are saving already.
