Amazon for cheap or generic stuff, Savvy, Currie, GenRight, and Blaine directly for the more speciality stuff.
Keep it simple and avoid places like Morris4x4, 4 Wheel Parts (they aren't too bad, but certainly not the best), and Quadratec (sorry, I really don't like those guys and have had numerous bad experiences with them).

You can find quality name brand parts on Amazon as well. I have bought several things on Amazon including a MORryde tailgate reinforcement kit for a substantially lower price than I could have gotten it directly or from a jeep specific online retailer. I believe it was around $60 cheaper than anywhere else.
I've also bought direct from companies with no problems when they put their parts on sale. I just google search whatever part I'm looking for and shop around for the best prices and look for things like coupons and free shipping.
Also when I come across an accessory I think I might like, I like to search this site to see if others have experience with it and get their feedback. There have been several times I've seen someone with an accessory that I'm looking at and I've PM'd them to ask their opinion on it before buying. Also I'll look for reviews like for the MORryde kit which came highly recommended by Chris and quite a few others which convinced me to purchase it. A little research and shopping around can get you quality products at good prices.

if you had asked a few months ago i would have answered quadratec but they have been jerking me around for 3 months for a set of gears i ordered.
my go to places are amazon, extremeterrain(which isnt really any better from what i gather) or direct right now.

I haven't had a bad experience with any of them that cause me to completely rule them out, so I Google it and compare pricing, shipping, etc. Amazon tends to be the leader because of Prime, but I'm perfectly willing to buy from Quadratec, 4WP, Extreme Terrain, Northridge 4x4, etc when it's a part that they sell.
Obviously the more specialty fabricated parts tend to come directly from the manufacturer.
There have been a couple times when 4WP could get it to their local store more quickly or less expensively than Amazon (for something unavailable on Prime or the occasional wacky price), so I've gone and picked things up there before.
Morris does seem to have among the worst reputations around here though so I don't typically buy from them if I can avoid it.

I buy shit from amazon or direct from the manufacturers.. pick up a phone and they will usually give you some sort of discount.
Just ordered my new shocks from desert rat in AZ though, used to shop there when I lived in AZ and they have great customer service and no tax/shipping fees to me in Cali!

Set price watches for Amazon on camelcamelcamel. I’ve gotten great deals on Currie and other brands there.
Yep. You gotta watch Amazon, they're not always the best deal out there. Many times they are, but sometimes they're not. But I always check both Amazon and eBay.
Thanks for that recommendation. Just found AntiRock for $369. Lowest price in 19 months.
Mostly Amazon, sometimes E-bay often CL. Savvy and other odd places on the inter web. Rarely Extreme Terrain.
That’s cheap, I remember that deal. At the time I found the Aluminum like new in box for $320 and let it go too. Sometimes I earn the idiot badge.
