Where to get stuff in Chicagoland ?

[mitchger]

I might be in the Chicago area for 1-2 weeks in November.
Were can I get some Jeep stuff ? I´m looking for a TF Nexus steering bumper or a Fox 2.0
As I have approx $500 tax free on such travel it would be much better to buy it on this trip instead of mail order and paying postage AND taxes.

I´m in Florida in October and get some stuff there. In Florida are plenty of shops. But with a short www search I didn´t find any shops in the Chicagoland area who sell this stuff.

I hope you enjoy your time here in the US! I am not familiar with shops in Chicago, maybe another member can chime in. But there are several vendors that could probably ship to where you are staying. Northridge 4x4, Rebel Offroad, Quadratec, and Summit Racing; along with many others, should be able to get you what you need.

you will pay a 10% sales tax in Chicago and the inflated prices you have to charge to afford to do business there. Not much for wheeling in northern Illinois so may be the reason you don't find shops.

Yeah I looked on google and didn't find something. But if I do mailorder i pay around 5% custom fee and 19%tax.........

And buying this on a business trip or holiday it's free........ at least up to approx $450.

Or I'll order it to the hotel. But I'm not sure about this option........
and to the job there......... hmmmm not a good contact to the guy there.

Why not just get one from Bilstien? They are a German company right?
Its just steering stabilizer.

I've had stuff shipped to my hotel room when traveling all the time. Just order it knowing that it will arrive in time.

Well, I had Bilstein and it didn´t last long. Although it had a slight bend after a visit to a ORV park.
I had a double SS and it felt quite nice. With a G2 axle I couldn´t keep it but I´m keen on something "like that" So the Fox ATS 2.0 or the TF was on my list.

I´m not sure if the hotel are so happy with such things. After all it´s not a small letter.......
I thought about this option with my US colleague. But it´s difficult..... US site doesn´t want me to visit them. So I don´t think I can/should ask them.
If the hotels are find with such things, it´s an option.....
