I've gotten over it since I own both. Use to piss me off, now I think it's funny to confuse the parts guy, cause they don't know which one I'm buying for.

Yeah like when I buy parts for my axles and what are they on? A Cherokee. Cherokees didn't come with those axles, let me take a look, I said ok, he looked, wow you must have a rare one I've never seen them with those axles before. Fuktards!!

I have resorted to either telling them the part number or telling them what vehicle the parts came from like a 98 Ford Exploder for my rear brakes. They still try to make it difficult.
I'll give them the part number and they'll ask me what it goes to.
Just look up the part number.
Alright, what vehicle we working with?

Ever think they are protecting them self from the fawktards that don't know there is a difference?
In the parts game you have to dumb it down a lot ya can't assume people know how to work on there own stuff.
I have had tech's that have been working on cars longer than I have been alive tell me they have a 04 Cherokee.
If I wasn't in the 4x4 scene,and someone told me they had a Dana 60 under there Cherokee I wouldn't beleve them.

Yea but when i pull up in my XJ and they say "man thats a sweet jeep" they should assume that i know what i want compared to the fawktard that rolled out of his honda and tried pushing the pull door. :conceited

true, if they acknowledge the jeep you pulled up in then they should know its not a grand.
like josh said, if your going to a shotty parts store then just look up your parts beforehand and bring the numbers in.

Then there's guys like Nick. Behind his firewall his Jeep is one year, in front is a different year and OBD system and his axles are likely Ford.

It's like a new pair of underwear: At first it's constrictive, but after a while it becomes a part of you.
