I'm flinging grease and looking at these.

Im probably about 4-5 K miles so far on them. 75% of those miles off road. The shape of the boots are interesting in that they are molded to definitely rub on each other a lot less.
I’m at 2” of suspension lift using bilsteins, and 265/75s and and I’d say at this point they’re a buy. Napa has warranty on them also. The seem a bit heavier than the stock units also.
I can’t think of a reason to not go with them unless your in the long travel area, or you just want rcv’s or another high end one. There’s definitely nothing lacking in the construction of the Napa units. Wished they sent a better nut with it though.
I may send my Oe ones to get rebuilt. I have a feeling it’ll be a waste of time though.
Be advised though that you’ll have to reuse your axle retainer I remember right. The one they sent didn’t work, sorry I can’t remember why, but I do remember that I just reused the OE nut if I recall.
That part number fits a lot of applications also.
Super easy repair. A good pry bar will assist in removing the inner shaft from the diff by overcoming the retaining ring.
As a guy who’s basically done an almost all Toyota parts resto and already spent way more in Toyota parts than I paid for this rig, I’d buy the Napa 1258 shafts again 100%.
