Hello everyone
In Europe jeep spares aren’t rare but not always cheap and easy to find... happens that one of the most interesting online retailer over here basically just stores Crown stuff so I was wandering, since I’m almost forced to put this stuff into my car, if this is any good for you guys. Recently I have bought crown branded Filters, tcase oil, seals and much more...

 

I'm in the same boat as you, they've been fine so far in the absence of any MOPAR parts. If you ask for XJ parts in a UK Jeep dealer they just laugh.

 

My best picks so far ar RBS Handel above all and jp mania from poland.... If you have some good ones feel free to share 😁
btw you have a 4.0?

 

Thanks! I keep seeing RBS-Handel parts when I search but I didn't know anything about them so I'm glad to know they're OK. I just avoid jeepchryslerparts.co.uk They sent me a power steering pump from China which only lasted a couple of months. It also took ages to arrive although their delivery tracker is excellent. I could see every small town it stopped at between Shenzen and me.

 

RBS has a pretty big store and Is Easy to browse around... Plus the prices are very reasonable and I have called many times for help and they were super keen and cool...

 

Ive' ran their leaf springs on 3 different XJs so far. Those have been good to go but I haven't used any of their other replacement parts. I've heard mixed reviews here state side.

 

I've used some Crown parts, pretty sure I bought my motor/transmission mounts from them. Can't remember what else off the top of my head. No problems with anything wearing out prematurely.

 

Crown has been fine for me. About like Dorman, I'd say. Not top of the line, but acceptable.

 

x2. Crown is definitely not best in class. But it will get the job done.

 

Perfectly adequate, well priced OEM style parts.

I own three XJs, and coincidentally live within a few miles of their warehouse and retail store locations here in MA, USA. Any time I need an OEM style part, I check with them first, as they usually have what I need in stock. Unfortunately their retail store will not ship outside MA, though their products are available through many distributors.

Cheers!
