    Ok cool. I just bought reman ones from Toyota. My truck is lifted but I do have the diff drop. We'll see how the boots will hold up. I don't know how long my lift has been on since I bought the truck used from a dealership. I know they replaced the passenger side axle since the boot was leaking, and I'm sure they bought the cheapest axle :/

    Both my CVJ's exploded. One at Jambo 2019 that almost took out Cody. Then one recently that the floating bearings decided they were done. I've snapped one Napa axle at the shaft. I've got Napa on there now, but next round I'll get oem reman and see how they do.

    It looks like the OEM reman would be cheaper than the napa "extreme" one.

    No, I haven't met anyone yet. I do see plenty of Tacomas around the area and often wonder if it's one of you guys. I just moved up to Pflugerville this past week from south Austin. I have a red access cab trd.
