Recommended sites for parts
Hi,
I recently acquired a 2004 G500 that I’m slowly working on bringing it to tiptop shape. I’m wondering if the experts in this forum can recommend websites for ordering parts like screws and seal.
Also, on a side note, I’ll be replacing the suspensions on all 4 wheels. Anyone with insights on replacements? The truck will be used mostly for camping and a bit of light overlanding (not going hardcore with 2 little ones sitting in the back).
Thanks!

Shock vendor for G500
I just replaced my OEM Bilstein B4 series (black) with B6s (familiar blue and yellow) from 4wheelparts.com. Lowest price with free shipping. Don't be fooled - no vendor has these in stock. They all have order them from Bilstein. Be patient!
I do a lot of off-roading (nothing radical) with some heavy loads inside so the shocks are a bit more substantial than stock but nothing nasty. Give them 500 miles or so to break in. This is the second time I had to replace the shocks so I figured I'd go for the B6 mono-tubes. The price is actually less than the OEMs.
Now I have to find my original receipts so I can get the black ones replaced under warranty and sell them on.
