Title: chicago location for trailer hitch installation
Post by: plyonsMC9 on February 14, 2006, 08:43:51 PM
Anyone in chicagoland area have good luck getting a trailer hitch installed?  I have an mc9 and want to make sure the one who installs the hitch understands the mechanics of the engine cradle, etc..  don't want anything falling out unexpectedly   :o

Best Regards,
Phil Lyons

Nicest trailer hitches specifically for MCI were done by Fred in north Florida.

Just Dont let him slip old ACE extension cord in the walls!!

But for a Hitch,   Fred Hobie is great.

Cold in ORD , come on down!

Actually, while I would love to visit Florida, and it is certainly cold in ORD, a Florida trip is not in the cards.  Though it is tempting to have Fred Hobie do the work - for sure. 

If anyone has good experience with a Chicago land area knowledgeable hitch installer - for our MC9, that would be terrific.  Else, a trip to Florida may be sooner than I think..

Thanks again - Phil
