    In their latest newsletter, they mention (including link) our favorite web-site.

    On a side note, according to the newsletter, they might be dropping most Dorman products from their product line, due to price-fixing attempt.

    Yeah, saw that also.

    I don't know if I have any Dorman products. I think not. Probably won't be buying any soon either. My impression is that they are lower end aftermarket.

    Some call it "price fixing" and some call it "minimum advertised price." That's not unusual I don't think. I remember a bike shop owner telling me Gary Klein did that with his bikes. I'm sure other brands do it to. If you search "tacoma ARB deluxe bumper," you'll see some odd prices, with the lowest being $866.40. My hunch is that's the lowest price ARB lets retailers sell that bumper. The downside is it doesn't let retailers with less overhead use that to their advantage and offer a better deal.

    I know i've used a discount code for RockAuto, but it may have been as a returning customer. I thought I found one in the vendor section one time.

    I just skimmed through the newsletter, was delighted to see TW mentioned.
