    Toyota is replacing the frame on my 05 prerunner. The dealer is encouraging me to get new shocks and struts (even aftermarket) saying that they have to remove and reinstall them as part of the frame replacement, so I get free labor - what an opportunity. First of all, anyone have recommendations on what to replace? I only have 71k miles and plan to keep it another 5+ years. Control arm bushings? Secondly, I know there are some parts such as wiring harnesses that the dealer in going to replace because reusing is too time consuming or risky. Are there any parts that I should NOT buy beforehand because the dealer is sure to replace anyway? Thanks for your help.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    The shocks might be a good idea. Other than that, don't spend a nickel more than you have to, imo.
