As the title suggests, needing a contact that has parts for the above models.
Have tried RIPCO..sorrry, REPCO, BNT and others here in NZ and am striking air.
Unfortunately (for fortunately for you GQ owners) the bulk of the patrols/safari's over here are GQs so aftermarket sales are more aligned to them.
When a part I need is sourced the prices quoted are astronomical, case point would be the passenger side tie rod end on the MQ/MK (you know, the one that is approx 1mtr long). I can get one however it will cost me $130 AUD (so they'd convert it to NZ dollars and rip me off further) PLUS shipping cost of $50 AUD. Don't know about others but 190 for ONE tie rod end is a bit stiff.
Any AND all feedback about a local supplier that can do it a hell of a lot cheaper would be appreciated...so far the main advise is to use donor vehicles. Problem with that is I have a donor vehicle and the ole girls tie rods are at the same state..bit pointless swapping them over
