Default Need a little Help with finding cheap parts to put on my rolled jeep

So i rolled my jeep this weekend and insurance is covering it but I am going to probably do some upgrades the same time it's getting repaired since insurance will pay for most of it anyways. I'm searching the internet for the best prices on a few things that I think I will be able to upgrade pretty cheap through insurance. Thing is I only have until tomorrow afternoon to decide what I'm going to upgrade since it goes into the shop tomorrow afternoon. Depending on if I can find it for cheap enough online will decide if I get some sweet upgrades. Everything needs to be for a 4 door 08 rubi.

The key to getting this done is to have it be an upgrade but also be cheap so its close to the replacement price of the stock parts. I will also look at things from private sellers so please PM me if you have anything.

Please help me by posting up links of the cheapest places that you know of for these parts I'm looking for:

1. AEV hood or other hood
2. Xenon Flat fenders
3. The New Trail master quick release stock style fenders
4. HD tie rod
5. Hard Tops (preferably the fast back)
6. Rear Bumpers
7. Any Tube Fenders
8. Rear Corner Guards
9. Sliders
10. Skid plates

Thanks for the help!!

Contact one of the site vendors. With an order that big they can probably help you out.

Actually you probably have more money to play with than you think. A lot of the factory parts are priced very high!

that tie rod is closer to $260 if bought online and shipped. You have to purchase Moog Es194R tie rod ends to go with and they pretty much kick you in the shins and run away at $60 each. Bent my stock and just upgraded to the RK.

With a shopping list like that you may not have much luck.

Example would be the rear bumper. Factory price $214......I dont think you will find an aftermarket one for that price, And the AEV hood is like 700 factory is only like 400.

people pull off oem bumpers constantly I have a full set of front and rear bumpers sitting in my back yard not heard of getting used ones from friends for free or at a very reasonable cost

if you pay over 100 bucks for front and rear your in the wrong place ( keep in mind these are OEM pull off's)

80 bucks for both of mine
