Parts that are no longer made

What can I do if a part for my Jeep is no longer available?

There are four routes: a reproduction part from a specialist manufacturer, an inspected used part, rebuilding the part you already have, or having a new one made. Which route fits depends on the component – body panels usually have reproductions available, transmission parts are often cheaper to rebuild, and small sheet metal or plastic pieces are worth manufacturing outright.

Send us the model, year and VIN, along with a photo of the part. We will tell you which route works in your case and what it costs.

What does remanufacturing cost and how long does it take?

It depends on whether the part belongs to the body or the drivetrain. Body parts usually run between 20 and 500 euros – mostly folded and laser-cut components. Drivetrain parts such as gears for transmissions, axles or engines range from 100 to 2,000 euros, depending on the method: 3D printing or reproduction from an existing sample. Lead time in both cases is two to four weeks.

You receive a binding quote before any work starts. Nothing is made until you approve it.

Before we manufacture anything, we always check whether an original used part is available. That is almost always cheaper and faster.

Which parts can be remanufactured and which cannot?

Sheet metal and turned parts, brackets, gaskets, lines and simple castings are generally feasible. Safety-critical components without certification are not – steering and braking components in particular – nor are electronic control units or anything requiring type approval.

For safety-critical parts we look for an approved new or used part instead. That can take longer, but it is the only route that will pass a technical inspection.

How do I find the right part number for an old Jeep part?

The VIN determines the model year and trim variant, which makes it the most important starting point. On older models many parts also carry a stamped or cast number – on Willys parts, often a casting number on the reverse side.

Photograph the part from both sides and send the images along with the VIN. We work on these vehicles ourselves and can identify most parts even without a number.

Do you source parts you do not stock in the shop?

Yes. Our online shop lists over 19,000 items; our supplier network reaches considerably further – including manufacturers in the United States and reproduction makers such as MD Juan for Willys and CJ body panels.

We also take enquiries for vehicles outside our core range – Dodge, Chrysler and the 1966 to 1977 Ford Bronco.

What about used parts?

Our workshop in Gersfeld produces a steady supply of used parts from vehicles we strip down. Axles alone we hold over 400 of, new or used. Every part is inspected before sale. For components that are out of production this is often the only option, and usually the cheapest.

Stock changes constantly and is not fully listed in the shop – ask us about the specific part you need.
