I'm torn between a brand new rack from Toyota at a cost of $659 or a reman unit from Rack doctor or CVJ. I only want to do this project once and the OEM unit lasted 370k.

I went with rackdoctor because across all the models they do, I found exactly one person with an issue. And Rackdoctor replaced it for them free of charge because lifetime warranty. They rebuild only using OEM parts, so I figured it was as close as I was going to get.

I prefer OEM parts, but if it's a replacement I can do myself, is unlikely to strand me on the trail, and the cost diff is more than double, I'm firmly in "good aftermarket" territory. My CVs are OEM, but my brake calipers are NAPA reman for example.
@alia176 I was going to mentioned that the rack you posted a link too was for a Land Cruiser as well but @gimlithepirate took care of that...BUT the rack he posted a link too doesn't fit a 2003 4Runner, that one seems to only fits 2004 to 2009 4Runners, the following link fits the 2003 4Runner.

44200-35061 - Gear Assembly - 2003-2005 Toyota 4Runner | Conicelli Toyota of Conshohock

It's very possible that any of those will fit any 4th Gen but not worth taking the chance, IMHO.
