Default Relocating to Chicago

Well folks...it's off to the Windy City from Texas. Anyone recommend a good jeep dealer, off road shops, or a club in that area? Any one to stay away from is also appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Welcome to the windy city! Look up Chicagoland Dirty Deltas club. They are on FB and have an open club without fees and drama. Great group. I've been out with them once but definitely ready for another outing.

Fiancée is working in Schaumburg. We have not had time to find a house as of yet. Looking for something outside of Cook county.

Avoid the Zeigler dealership in Schaumbrg. Bought mine there and will never step foot in there again. Know of a couple of people who have had the same experience.

I enjoyed my experience at Dupage dodge/chrysler in Wheaton last month when I bought my '09 JK. I thought I got a great deal and the guys there seemed nice. No complaints. Still getting used to the jeep thing... I come from a land of SUV's and sports cars.

I'm a bit too far west of where you are looking to move so my dealer will probably not be very convenient in Aurora. Keep your eye out in the Chicagoland BS Thread for upcoming Suds & Grubs in the area. https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/grea...thread-183899/ Welcome to the Windy City!
