2nd gen taco cv axle, repairable?

Hello, I recently back in September of 24 got a 2025 Tacoma after unfortunately getting into a wreck with my other Tacoma. Anyways this one spent its whole life 9 years in Alaska where they salt the roads before coming down to Washington. Planning on replacing most the front end when doing the lift but was curious about the cracking on front cv axle. Can this be replaced? Should I rebuild the oe ones, Toyota dealer said they no longer make remaned ones and 2 new would be over $1,000. Also recommendations on after market ones not want to spend $2,300 on rcv currently. Seems like Napa ones are the best from reading forms. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

This does not look broken. There is a paint coating (powdercoat?) on that end that frequently flakes off where you have circled.

if it's not making noise I would reboot it if the boots leak. If it's making noise I would throw a parts store on in it. The OEM ones are best if you are lifted and wheeling it. but stock tire size would be fine for aftermarket.

CVJ will rebuild them, but they are expensive.
