Hi all,

Notice in the 4wd mags every month those online shops, I want a couple of things ie. snorkel, locker, cargo barrier etc. I used to have a great contact for competitive prices but he's out of the industry now. Anyone had any experience or know of anyone in the general sth east area, I'm all ears.

Cheers all,

Vicar.

I have used some of them they are great if you know exactly what you want if you are unsure then it's probably better to talk to someone in a shop

Gday Trol,

Fair enuf. Paid inflated prices in the past and know how to fit the gear. Trouble is, most are paid on a commission basis so it's hard to get good advice as well...

Thanks mate.

Cheers.

You've got to do your homework before ordering on-line. Its often not as cheap as you think. The cost of postage is often inflated and may price the goods higher than you get in the shops.

I've bought some good stuff via Ebay shops, but my preference is to see and feel the goods in a real shop. And if there's a need to exchange or take the stuff back, you're miles ahead with a real shop.

Hi Phil,

Yeah, i've noticed that online with ebay, you see a set of tyres for $8 and delivery is $12,000.00. Thanks for your advice.
