    There's a group buy for some RCV axles over on Tundras.com for some RCV axles.
    From that thread...

    End of GB is set at April 3rd.


    • 5 sets and they will give 15% off!
    • 10 sets and they will give 25% off!
    • OEM axles retail for $2050 and LT axles are $2260.
      • OEM axles will be $1742/$1537 after 15%/25% off
      • LT axles will be $1921/$1695 after 15%/25% off
    • No tax unless you live in Illinois
    • FREE shipping to lower 48
    Close to the 10 sets as is - figured we could get that bumped up to over 10, no problem with the help of TW.
    Below is some pricing

    - OEM axles will be $1742/$1537 after 15%/25% off

    @MattJakobs are these prices including the core charge or are they waiving that?

    Def tempting. RCV had them on sale for 20-25% off on the website around blackfriday. Jus that my axle builds instead. I kept going back and forth on do i went the axle to break or the diff. Still debatable change in the future. 1600 ish is nice deal too.

    No core charge on RCV's. I've been running them for 4 years now. Haven't had to trail swap a CV in that time. Since I know someone will say it. I also haven't grenaded the stub shaft of shredded the gears. lol

    That's a screamin deal for anyone on the fence.

    Did some digging in the tundra forum post and it sounds like you can send them the part number/link. Others are getting different products aside from the tundra

    I think I will. I have a set of ADD spindles on the shelf that I'd have to swap out for my manual ones I have rn.

    How's the boot life on the RCVs?

    That's my only complaint with RCV. The boots have been great. No visible wear on the boot or any signs of cracking. The clamps RCV uses, and maybe they changed them, suck. Mine came with roll style clamps and all 4 failed in the first 2 trips out. I replaced the clamps with ear clamps and haven't had a problem since.
