Florida 4 Wheel Drive and Truck Parts has been in business in this location since 1974. Owner Bruce Wadlin selected the location because it is halfway between downtown Bradenton and downtown Sarasota. Wadlin's store carries a huge inventory of parts, primarily from Jeeps, dating as far back as 1941. Mail order of hard-to-find parts is a large part of his business, and he serves Jeep owners across the U.S. and in other countries. His business slogan, which is painted on the building, says it all: "Obsolete Jeep & Willys Parts."
