    Yeah i'm kinda debating whether or not to keep my old cv's and reboot them for spares or to send them back to CVJ and get the $75/each core charge reimbursed.

    Haha I'm in the same boat!

    I either want to keep them and re-boot them. Or send them in for the core charge and buy a autozone cv for a spare...

    Really can't decide...

    Send them back, get the $150, then wait until Advance Auto has 30% off again (which is pretty much always), and buy a couple tough one cv axles for $56 each for spares. That's what I did. They work just fine on and off road and lifetime warranty. Once I get the CVJ axles, I will keep them as spares. You come out $40 ahead for spare parts you hopefully never need.

    Yeah haha the core charge plus the cost of new boots is practically the cost of a whole nother pair of CVJ remans so i'm kinda straying away from that idea. A parts store axle aint a bad idea though. If shit hits the fan at least you'd have another axle to keep you rolling..might not be of superb quality but it'd work lol.

    I'm gonna go with what ISU2014 recommended. $112 shipped for two of those ToughOne cv axles for spares. May just buy one though. If I ever break an axle then I know it's time to take a break for the day anyways. So I'll probably never need two haha

    The only reason I bought 2 was because my boots were completely ripped on both sides and I'm not sure when I will go the CVJ route.

    That's my situation right now as well. However they've been ripped forever so I'll consider this a test for Toyota CV's :D. The more i think about it there's no sense in rebooting them anyways..core charge and parts store axles it is!

    Mocking up new tabs for the cup holders, does this look right? or should I run them a little longer and trim to perfectly fit a can?
