    Been 20 yrs, never had to warranty an oem bought part, not oem style. Not like that matters to others.

    there is absolutely no guarantee that a new OEM joint will last any longer than any other joint. I don't care how many miles you claim your originals lasted, that means absolutely nothing. do you honestly think that the OEM joints sold today are the exact same joints that came on the truck 15-20 years ago? not likely, suppliers change all the time. its not like Toyota makes these parts themselves. I've seen OEM joints fail prematurely and also seen cheapos last a long long time.

    Came used with brush guard, winch and bed cover.
    Thanks. I've decided to go with the OEM part from OEMPartSource; $98.26 shipped was the cheapest I could find it.
