    Does anyone have any experience with this product they offer. Looks like an oem reman with upgraded bushings and outer tie rods. A little cheaper than oem but is it worth it?

    I've never been steered wrong (pun intended) from anything from Low Range. I've heard they're just fine but don't have personal experience with them

    Definitely a better bet than a cheap parts store rack but if you can swing it, I'd look at a new OEM one.

    I've heard good things about the LCE racks as well, they might just be remans too

    Edit - nevermind, apparently the Low Range rack is just a rebranded parts store one

    I'd have to look for it, but I found a Toyota dealer with one for around $500 dollars. let me know if you want me to find it.

    McGeorge had offered a 10SHIP Code awhile back for parts (10% off) That could be substantial.

    oem has new ITRE also..
    Vs rebuilt.

    Just made an account just to answer this. After getting one and have less than 1500 kms on it and it leaks out the seals. While dealing with the warranty for it they said they will contact oriellys for the warranty as that is there supplier. So Yes it is just another reman rack from a big box store

    Wow, that's good to know and a bit disappointing.

    Yeah so far the warranty process has taken a week before anything has been decided.

    If that's the case, then you're just better off buying from Oriellys lol.

    Low Range is reputable, but I always lean towards OEM. Nobody has put more hours into designing and evaluating the part than Toyota. Others can rebuild or recreate the part, but Toyota knows more about these components and their interface than anyone else could ever hope to.
