There are no cheap places in Canada. Action Van and Truck World has fair prices, when you factor in exchange. I bought Polished Stainless Tech Tubes Bubba Bars from AVTW for $499.00+tax which worked out to US$385.00, not too shabby. Crappy Tire carries quite a lot of aftermarket stuff for our trucks but it is cheaper Westin product (chrome plated steel instead of polished stainless). Karbelt and Performance Improvements both carry lifts and just about anything else you can think of but they both tend to priced ridiculously high.

If you mail order anything from the US it's usually shipped UPS and they rape your wallet with their brokerage fees. Driving across the border, for me, entails a $200.00 gas surcharge for a round trip. I've done the border dash before. It was fun but didn't save me much money.

I've ordered from Summit and JC Whitney and had good experiences with both. I ordered a lift for my YJ from Rough Country and had a good experience with those guys. I once ordered an Iceman CAI for my Neon from Howell Automotive and specifically asked them to ship it USPS but they shipped it UPS and after the delivery guy pulled his wiener out of my wallet, the cost was more than if I bought the same thing at my Dodge dealership.

Don't ever get anything shipped UPS. Brown loves to shove his dick up your a$$.

Bottom line, shop around.

If you go to DriverFX.ca you get pretty much everything Crappy Tire can get.

Ordering anything from Keystone can take months. It's quicker to make the part yourself ;<)
