Marketplace find

This is what I am looking at.
The seller claims 20k miles total, they bought them used from someone else and never installed them. What is a good price for these and do they look more worn than 20k miles?

 

They are

$371 05-23 Tacoma Freedom OffRoad Front Upper Control Arms for 2-4" Lift (05-23 Tacoma)

05-23 Tacoma, Fox 2.5 Factory Race Series Shocks

 

There is no way to determine mileage by looks..

 

All you can tell by looks is they didn't likely live in salt country. A good thing

 

They look to be in decent shape, and assuming they are I'd start with half the retail price.

 

My rule of thumb is half price... good advice

 

They wanted 700 but I waited and he sold them within a day. Should have scooped them up. I could have rebuilt them for half the price of retail.

 

I know it's a moot point anymore, but I noticed that one of the rear shocks had a destroyed lower bushing. Odd that only 1 shock would have that kind of wear.

 

I've seen similar when the mounting point on the axle housing has taken a hit and it isn't quite square anymore.
Also when the owner loses the OEM bolt and finds one that's "almost" the same size but is a little smaller allowing the shock to move around.

 

Anyone have an opinion on price for a more used set of Kings ext. reservoir with Total chaos LCAs? I have some I pulled off a truck I bought and they def need a rebuild and the LCAs need new ball joints. I don't even know where to start in my asking.

 

I’ve heard stuff like this needs a rebuild. You should probably have Accutune valve it to your truck while at it.

Seems dumb to get nice expensive shocks in short factory rear mounting point instead of relocate with the same nice shock but longer version.

 

I remember installing my rear Fox shocks and the lower bushing being a shit fit so this doesn’t surprise me.
