The sad thing about our trucks is, it's getting older. And Toyota dealers are stocking parts for the newer models, slowly discontinuing part support for our 20+ year old trucks.
What ever the dealers has sitting on their shelves right now is all there is. Unless even those have been recall by Toyota corporate for destruction.
I used to know a guy that does the cutting and hammering of discontinued parts per Toyota's direction.
You could get lucky hunting for a rebuilt oem Toyota CV shaft at the autoparts stores.

Yeah nah I'm gonna need to see some hard evidence of this. It makes absolutely zero logistical sense in any way, shape or form for a manufacturer to spend time and money sourcing old parts and shipping them back to separate locations, then paying someone to dismantle these parts AND THEN pay to deal with all this newfound scrap purely for the hell of it - instead of merely letting them sell off and earn profit while ceasing new production. If the implications is this is done in the name of saving money by scrapping old production, then its a pretty ass backwards way of doing so.
