    Marketshare makes a difference. ID is right to work, which holds back wages in E WA. There are a lot of people commuting from Post Falls and CDA to Spokane everyday for work to get higher wages. Minimum wage in WA is about $13 now. I think ID is still under $10.
    There are also a metric fuckton of ma and pop electrical outfits out here from all the individuals who are getting by on their own rather than be part of a shop like Valley, Veca, or Cochran. The big shop over here is Powercity.

    So CVJ will core if it’s repairable which it appears it would be but will confirm when I tear down later.

    anyone running RCV? I think it hardly be worth it with just running 33s and also don’t want to blow up any internal differential components.

    I think they're more concerned about the axle shaft and splines, not the outer joints. RCV isn't worth it unless you're going really hard.

    Awesome, my boots were always rubbing, but they never tore from that yet. As for RCV is what I thought too. My buddy that has a full buggy build on his ranger runs them but he’s climbing boulders and shit lol.

    You can stretch the boots out and re-clamp them so they don't rub.

    yeah I had wondered that. I think CVJ is still cheaper than OEM so probably going that route as I don’t trust the auto parts ones too much for the trail more so as a pinch part.

    I guess there’s Lotus development as well for axles but haven’t really heard muc about them

    I've probably put 100k miles on the $60 Cardone thermoplastic boot axles from rock auto without an issue and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. The only issue with those is that if you have EXT travel coil-over without limit straps they will bind at full droop.

    Thanks for the information man, I also found some direct OEM re manufactures from Toyota dealerships for just $45 more than Cardone so thinking I could just go that route and keep the Dormans I ordered for trail repair.

    Ah yea, only issue I see is that the OE neoprene boots never lasted that long for me compared to the thermoplastic ones.

    anyone curious I did follow up with the guy I was working with at Toyota. He did mention that pretty much right now Toyota does not do the remanufacturing. For the first gens they actually have Cardone do their rebuilds. So that was interesting.

    Also confirmed only the manufactured ones are currently offered at $300. Waiting on confirmation from CVJ to identify if my CVs are actually OEM before I sacrifice the core cost shipping back auto parts store CVs that the old owner had put on. All in all, also thinking the heavy duty Cardone model may be more than sufficient based on the above. We will see what they say Monday.

    In the meantime if anyone has a definitive way to determine an OEM CV axle for the 2nd gens let me know. I know the first gens had green axle shafts for auto locking hubs and red for manual, black for reman and then finally 2nd gen abandoned that system. @utroda mentioned a green tag possibly but I don’t see that on mine.

    Mine had green paint/tape/marking on the shaft itself just about an 1" wide when I replaced them, and one of the napa remans I picked up had a faint similar green marking also. The other shaft did not, but looked almost 100% identical to the naked eye. :notsure: dunno if that helps anything.

    Yep that’s pretty much what Utroda said too. Lol at the fact that Napa just does the same. I guess I can try to compare once the Cardones get here Monday. It helps a bit though man thanks for the reply. I am going to see if the new 4Runner my fiancé got matches your description and try to use that. Hopefully that works.
