No more rebuilt front CV Axles from Toyota, where instead?

That looks nice.

I went with NAPA and it's held up so far. But I did keep my OEM CV in case I decide to go with a rebuild down the road.

 

You can get OEM reboot kits from Toyota for like $50-60 each. So long as your OEM CVs weren't run totally dry on grease that's pretty much the most cost effective way to have the best CVs you can get for our trucks.

My truck had cheapsie O'Reilly brand CVs on it when I got it, so I replaced them with the CVJ axles like @billybop90 pictured above. Really happy with them so far (had them in about 2 years now).

 

OEM re boot kits are unobtanium. What will the re booters use now that you can’t get boot kits from Toyota. I am sitting on a few oem axles that I would eventually like to reboot.

 

That sucks. I just bought some like 6 months ago and had no idea that supply had dried up like that

 

I bought a rebuilt set from J & J Axle in Santa Ana, CA. Paid 220$ plus a 35$ core charge each. They do a lot CVs and some other items like steering racks and brake boosters. They are popular with some other 4x communities and provide to dealers.

Mine was making noise before I replaced it, so it's past the re-boot stage.

 

Amazon just listed them again. Sold and Shipped by Amazon and not some third party.

A couple of days ago, I did place an order with Toyota of Colorado Springs since they had them listed as available. Received an email from them letting me know that they weren't due in stock until the first week of April due to the backorder.

If you want em' ASAP, better grab them while they are available via Amazon. If it's not shipped and sold by Amazon then pass.

 

Wow, nice find I will check that out! Maybe Toyota will offer them for sale again?

 

I ordered it - says it was the last one in stock and its genuine toyota part!

 

Both kits (ordered 2) arrived today. No packing issues, no torn outer bag. Ordered on March 1st, arrived March 11th. Shipped out of Baltimore, MARYLAND. Shipped/Sold by Amazon.

If it isn't shipped/sold by Amazon I'd stay away from it. FWIW, Toyota should start getting them back in stock April 1.

 

Haha I got mine too a few days ago legit Toyota packaging thanks for heads up.

 

I saw that some of you guys has had luck with NAPA CV's? Napa used to be a reliable source but havent used them in years. I cant believe Toyota doesnt sell these anymore, we can buy pretty much everything else still.

 

If you want OEM CVs, I rebuild them with OEM parts. Just another option.

 

I vouch for @zippsub9. He's a great person and does great work.
