iZook Guru's Guide To The Best Shops - Petroworks

 
Hello, I'm Gary Munck, owner of Petroworks Products, Inc. We work hard to give you the best possible parts and a great buying experience. This includes getting you the products when you order them, and we only charge customers when the product ships, not before.

Petroworks is the largest Suzuki OEM parts supplier in the United States. We stock many new OEM parts for the Suzuki Samurai, and we also carry many Sidekick parts. We also have a large used-parts inventory. All at very fair prices.

We began by putting together a transfercase for a friend who purchased the gears from Mario of Victory Engineering. Then more friends from our 4x4 clubs who had transfercases wanted us to build them for them, so we did.

We built our first gearset in the summer of 1994, and began selling it to other Suzuki Parts vendors. The the idea a better and lower transfercase was thought up. The GRSII© was designed, a 4.89:1 grs2gears.jpg (33544 bytes)transfercase, many hours of computer modeling and design went  into the development of the GRSII©. Ideas of higher ratios were tried, 6:1, 5:1, and others, but it was decided that the greatest longevity and greatest strength came from the 4.89:1 ratio.   There was such a great demand for modified transfercase we would purchase as many stock transfercases that we could, and then modify them for  off-road use. By the year 2000, we have sold over 1000 modified 4.16:1 and 4.89:1 transfercase gear sets. 
 

We had spent endless hours examining and trying all variations of different suspension upgrades for the Samurai, based on our research and trial and error, we had tried shackle reversals, extended shackles, 3" lift springs, you name it, if it could fit, we tried it and found the the Spring Over was the best solution for a suspension upgrade. Based upon our research it decided that our next item was going to be the spring over.  We built our first spring over, we used spring pads from confer,  We spent alot of R&D time into the spring over. Then we put together our own spring over kit.  Soon following we started stocking OEM Suzuki parts. At the time, everyone was retrofitting Jeep parts. We started supporting the Suzuki following, the business grew, our mission be came to support the Suzuki owner with an end all solution of Suzuki OEM parts and aftermarket off-road parts.

We also represent several manufacturers of quality aftermarket parts such as ARB, Higher Heights Off-Road's Z-Bar Eliminator, SpiderTrax, Goodyear Tires, Detroit, Bestop and many others.
