Me spending my hard earned money is pretty damn important to me!
I've found a lot of Canadian retailers are like that.
Just buy what I want to sell you (at a ridiculous markup) or just F' off.
Explains why I do a lot of research on what I want and make the 1 hour drive to Port Huron and buy it in Michigan. Even after duty and taxes and gas I'm still 20 to 30% better off.

I live in London. I purchase things over Ebay or the web with paypal and have it shipped to a warehouse in Port Huron. Then I go and pick it up. I declare it at border but most automotive stuff is duty free so they just wave me on.

Do a google search for them. Also a Pick and pull not to far from Selfridge Air National Guard base. I was going to go there to get some rear Liberty disc brakes, but I found a wrecked one in KW that I got cheap.

Even better for you. take Hwy 40 to Wallaceburg and take the ferry across. there are some 4x4 shops between Port Huron and Detroit just off I94.

Jeeperscreepers offroad is the place and the closest to you guys, or try Ironman offroad just little north. These guys are offroaders too, and support our sport, whey even come to canada to wheel, and you cant beat there pricing on most things. I get parts shipped up north here all the time, and a lot cheeper. Just wished I lived alittle closer.

Jeeperz is actually south of Windsor on the US side. Across from Lasalle.
About 1.5 hrs from Chatham and 2.5 from London. There is a ferry that goes across near the Old Windsor Racetrack but it's mostly BIG trucks. Have to use the Bridge or Tunnel. PITA really. And Ironman is in Saginaw MI about a 3 hour drive for both of us.
I just made an order to CSL offroad and they are delivering it to Bluewater Shipping Depot http://bluewatershippingdepot.com/contact.html.
Handleing cost of my $150 order is about $10. Saved about $100 in brokerage and customs fees. Plus I get to take my wife to the Olive Garden restaurant! Win WIn

I have had good luck on parts/after market parts from our local/candaian offroad forum classifieds/vendors , most are closer to you down in southern ont.
