I deal with all of the parts guys. But I'm in there several times a week and know all of them.

Point well taken but if I wanted to develop a relationship with the parts store I would have bought a land roverI think with parts stores/dealers it's about forming a relationship. I use the dealership John won't name daily. I never have to give them a VIN, they'll order by part number, and they stock the parts I commonly use even though they don't regularly use them. But they've been the only place I've bought Toyota parts from for 9 years. They know I'm not going to stick them with a bunch of returns if the part I ordered by number doesn't fit. They know I'm not constantly price shopping them for the absolute lowest price. Yes I could find stuff a bit cheaper online but I've built a relationship with these guys. They treat me well and go above and beyond when I need parts quickly. IF your looking for the parts experience of old, you have to treat it that way. Before the internet you had to walk in and talk to the parts guy. That's where the relationship is built. It's a two way street.
My understanding is Land Rover is more of a one night stand type of thing, not really committed relationship types...Point well taken but if I wanted to develop a relationship with the parts store I would have bought a land rover
Took the 40 to Robledo Mountain OHV Trail System just outside Las Cruces, NM to test it out

Had a guy when I worked at Vatozone come in to do a brake job. Insisted he had brake shoes on the rear. Also purchased rotors for the rear. Despite my insistence he wanted them all...... Minimizes the number of returned parts that were purchased by the clueless idiots.
Looks like the perfect opportunity to pick up a heat induction tool
