Yes, well kinda. Sister company. There are a few more company's in the mix as well. If you order someting from 4WD and use the "Ship to Store" option, it will ship to a 4 Wheel Parts Store.

4 Wheel Parts caters to everyone while 4WD is more Jeep related.

So that means both of them will have the same crappy wait times on parts they advertise to have in stock but DON'T.

I actually just ordered 2 things from them for my truck. The first part was in stock and got picked for shipment. The other part had to be ordered from the manufacturer. Which one did I get first? The manufacturer one, wasn't expecting it that way.
