Where to purchase parts?

Hey guys, I'm going to be doing some maintenance on my truck soon and I need to know where to get parts from. I'm going to do the timing belt, waterpump, all other belts and radiator hoses. I found a site a while ago but can't remember what it was. So if anyone knows that would be great.
Thanks,
Austin

Oh, and if you have any other suggestions on what else to do while i'm doing the timing belt let me know. It's on a 3.4 V6

Also try Mike Calvert Toyota (anythingtoyota.com). If you request a parts quote over the 'net, they'll get back to you quickly with very good pricing.
Only other thing I can think of is the t-stat - probably easier to get to with the coolant drained and the belts out of the way.

With it being a '96, then it's about time for a water pump if it's never been done, and a thermostat is cheap while you're in there.

Thanks for the nod... we aim to please! We don't have much visibility here for some reason, even though no one can touch our pricing.

We appreciate the kind words and support.

Yep, these guys are the bomb! I used to compete against them, now I buy from them. They have an excellent business model where the customer comes first. You can't go wrong with em!

I called in an order yesterday. The lady was very nice and the prices were half the price of my local stealer. One question though, she ask me for the part #s which I happen to have but what if I didn't have them?

Thanks for the kind words. Barb asks customers if they already have a part number to see what you are looking at. Sometimes people are on the website when they call and they've looked up the wrong part, so when they've gotten the part they been like WTF? Also, sometime people will look up the wrong part, but we'll send the right part- so a part comes with a different number and they're like WTF? It also saves her a lot of time because many people do already have a part number. Lastly, it helps avoid problems with part descriptions and helps ensure what the customer has in mind is what we're looking at.
There's a lot of reasons why we ask if the customer has a part number- all in the attempt to save time and avoid confusion.

There is no need to worry that if you don't have a part number we won't be able to figure it out.

I hope we can eventually earn the same level of trust for service, accuracy & pricing that we have on other boards (TTORA, CT, etc.).

We are well aware that having the lowest prices on Toyota parts can only take us part of the way there...

Thank you for your support!

I asked my local dealer for a 30 percent discount and they readily gave it. Wonder why?

Mine would have to give a 50% discount to compete with Chris.
