    Ya same here. Lowest I have seen is $500 for brand new oem. And for cvj and LRO once you send your core back they reimburse you a $100. They also send a free return Shipping slip as well I believe for your core rack.

    If you wheel at all I would suggest going with a new OEM rack. Should be able to find one for ~$600 shipped. Do it right or do it twice. Getting one swapped in is on my to-do list.

    Myself and a lot of others aren't completely satisfied with Rack Doctor. Mine's leaking slightly, and the ITREs they use are junk.

    Nice! I came up from 265 to 285 on 4.10's and really have not noticed a huge difference. Really only when starting from a stop in 1st is a bit slower to get going but nothing terrible.

    Once I put my TW decal on the back window I think I gained 10hp so it all worked out :benchpress:

    New Racks for $550ish? Well then I definately stand corrected. Mind sending me the link or where from? Thanks.

    Edit: I just confirmed w/my local dealership connection and I definately stand correct. Screw Napa - I'm going OEM as well. I learned something today.

    I've only noticed problems off-road where I'm bogging down so I'd rather not multiply that problem

    Camelback Toyota is the cheapest by far they give an awesome TW discount. They have a thread on here, ask them for a quote before you buy a new oem.

    In Phx we have a local axle and drive shaft place, they do an awesome job rebuilding racks and cvs. Might be worth a some research if you have one near you to see what they would charge to rebuild your rack and what they offer warranty wise. They do cvs in 30 mins or less, so might be able to do a rack in a day, higher down time than a swap but might only be a day and save a ton of cheddar.

    Thanks for tip on Camelback. I'll send them a pm.
    As for your local spot, if I were closer it would be worth checking. :cool:

    I looked at camelback but I found they only offer a 3% tw discount unless I'm mistaken? Plus the cost of shipping.
