    Dude, it's 20 bucks. Hardly ridiculous. Work an extra half hour or whatever and enjoy your new wiper blades.

    Everything is crazy pricey these days. It’s about $70 to get a replacement wiper set from Bosch or RainX at AutoZone or Oreilly’s.

    TRD Exhaust, Mobtown bolt on sliders and aluminum tailgate reinforcement, Reverse lights changed to yellow turn signals, LED pods added for reverse, ADD W1 oil catch can, Total Chaos bed reinforcement, rear diff breather to taillight mod, 12" combo led bars behind lower grill wired to high beams, Toyota led bed light kit, 400 watt anytime mod, SSO slimeline front bumper.
    So instead of complaining about it do it yourself.

    Supply and demand = price. If nobody paid that the price would be lower.

    I will go OEM when I need new blades. I still have the factory wiper blades on my 6 year old truck. Keeping the truck garaged when not driven probably does help with blade longevity.

    That's not what I'd call ridiculous; a little high maybe for just the inserts. I would have just bought whole new blades.

    I just bought these a couple weeks ago. Cheapos for sure, but so far so good. It rarely rains in my area anyway, so spending big bucks for wipers that are rarely used don't make no sense. EDIT: $18.39 shipped.

    Worth it IMO, considering I prefer the look of the OEM blade housings. Plus OEM inserts perform the best based on my experience.

    That is why I went back to OEM wipers. Plenty of Youtube video's showing how to change the rubber out.

    I did the same and my truck is garaged. Actually had the blades sitting in the garage for about a year and just decided to throw them on

    BAM Wholesale Parts is another good place to buy OEM parts.

    $20 for a pair of inserts is perfectly reasonable. If you plan ahead instead of waiting until you need them and buy during a dealer sale you can get em for $10-$12 for a pair and free shipping.

    Also, how you gonna complain about $4 tax that’s not on Toyota.
