Hi Folks,

Anyone had a good experience or recommendations for ordering after-market accessories from the US to the UK? I see Morris 4x4 got a mention already. There's a few UK online suppliers offering JL goodies but the choice is limited and some of the price mark-ups from what the gear is being sold at in the 'States is eye-watering. I realise that they've got to pay for shipment and duty and still make a profit but I still think we're getting rinsed.

Need something shipped???
Got 'gear acquisition syndrome' for some upgraded steering/suspension parts and a Bestop Sunrider top. Figure I could save ~25% ordering from the 'States, even after tax + duty are paid.

Morris 4x4 is good. They seem a bit slow on communication but other than that they are good.

I ordered my premium soft top from them. Import duty etc come to ~£2400 which is actually about £1000 cheaper than if I had bought it via the dealer.

I heard about Jeepey who are UK based but they seem to put a high markup on the stuff they sell.
