Made my first ever trip to a wrecker yesterday - All Model 4WD Spares, 14 Marigold Street Revesby, 9772 4444.

I bought a spare alloy for the KJ for $50! He had JK rims in the shop, and had 4 on the wrecked JK in the parking lot too (and two KJ's and three TJ's...)

He also said that he had lots of parts for all models of Jeeps - was a really impressive set up!

Sooo, if you need second hand parts, try this place.

I've used these guys too. They're pretty good for all makes and models. I get a lot of hard to get parts for my father in law's 60 series Landcruiser from here. Their prices are a little hit and miss at times, somethings are really cheap, whilst others are way overpriced. Overall though, they're pretty good

They must have improved things somewhat compared to the last time I wasted my time going there...................... That was 5 years at least........... They seemed not to be interested in dealing with jeeps at all then............

I went there on last Thursday and came good.. sort of. I initially rang them about 5 times in the space of 2 hours only to go straight to the answering service. So, I had time to burn and went there anyway. The funny or rude thing about it was that the bloke answered the phone twice whilst attending to me and served them first!. Great customer service..NOT. But then it's typical, so what am I complaining about.

However, he had a fuel rail there for a Duner's modification but the price was over the top. I paid the price anyway because I'm a sucker. I would've picked one up from an AJOR member for much cheaper alas he did not reply in time, so the story goes.

For example:

WJ nudge bar $330 vs $100 on eBay/Gumtree.
Cargo Barrier $170 vs $40-$80 on eBay/ Gumtree.

I fared heaps better at Pick n Payless in Blacktown. The prices was way cheaper but bring tools, as you would have to dismantle parts yourself.

Sorry to say that the boys at Milperra would be at the bottom of the list for me. Last resort type thing.

I've been there a few tea and always found the guy rude
And prices have been strange
What I assumed would have been cheap was very dear
And what I thought would be
Dear was cheap
But always very rude
