    I have an 08 DCSB that is at 185k and rack is leaking.
    Question #1, is the Pre-runner and 4x4 the same Rack?
    Question #2, been lurking Ebay and checking prices, for the same or close to it, I can get either a remained one, an aftermarket one or a used OEM one that claims no leaks. All have warranty, all between $250-300....looking for honest opinions. Not made of $$ and can't afford a new factory one. Thanks for ant suggestions
    God Bless

    Someone else might have a more definitive answer , but I think you can get a new seal and bushings and have it refurbished. Not positive . :notsure:

    I think you can have new seals installed. I just put an aftermarket rack in my truck because mine had rotted to the point it was leaking so I didn't explore the seal option
