Anyone try this site before?
My first order went without a hitch. They are in Japan but their prices seem really cheap, OEM parts and shipping was not bad either. Took a little longer to arrive (10 days) but I can deal with that.

I haven't but thanks for the info, more sources the better! I've been getting my stuff from partsouq.com which is actually located in UAE but they send the stuff via FedEx Intl Express which arrives in 3 business days to the midwest. So far so good!

Thanks for sharing this.

That's the best price I've seen anywhere in my searching! Thanks. I'll try them next time. Could have saved a little cash.

Wow Toyota's dead cost on that part is like 26 bucks

Are you saying that they're losing money on these parts?

Most likely this seller has bought 100's of these for a bulk price, or they bought up old stock from Toyota and it was sitting on toyota's shelves costing them money. so somewhere along the line money may have been lost. Toyota Dealers buy that part for 26 bucks, Toyota may have bought it for lets say 18 dollars from the manufacturer or Toyota made it themselves.

Reason I buy from Napa all the time is their Altrom line. Alot of the Altrom products are manufacturer's old stock. I.E. I needed rear rotors on my 2001 camry. From Toyota my cost was like 50 or 60 bucks. Through Napa with the Altrom brand I paid like 40 bucks. Do you want to know what I got? I received OEM Brembo rear rotors in the Brembo box with an Altrom sticker slapped on the Brembo label. Happens all the time always ask who the manufacturer is when buying at Napa

Thanks. That's excellent advice from the man who would surely know. I always liked Napa. They seem to have parts for older vehicles in stock. I never felt I needed to upgrade my brakes since I have the limited which I believe came with larger front disc brakes.

My 99 Limited is great with the brakes, then I upgraded them to the tundra ones, What a difference! Once the pads and rotors seated its a night and day difference

Your runner is no longer bone stock! Ha! Seriously, I don't like the idea of drums in the rear. Your year has disc all around from the factory but its a great place to upgrade. I'm going to look into that. I'm definitely a stock kind of person so I don't mod unless it's a safety or functionality thing.

I've also received OEM DENSO sensors from Autozone under their "duralast" label. And NGK wires from O'Reilly's "import" line. They all do it.

Downside is that sometimes you're stuck with a terrible aftermarket part instead.

I would pick and choose i try to be ahead on maintenance and stuff so i have time to find the right stuff

 

[CAMELPRO]

I'm assuming "not for sale" means they don't have it in stock. No grills to be had.

After some searching I found that our gen always had drums. My bad. I also found out that switching the drums to disc in the rear is a real PITA and read something about losing the parking brake! WTF! I think I'm going to wait until there are issues with my fronts before making the switch. I also have a hard time replacing stuff that's still working with stuff that works better.

I rode my front pads down to metal lol I got all the life out of them lol

And why not! I'm going to keep putting pads on them till the rotors and or calipers give up the ghost and then do the tundra brake swap. Never had a vehicle that was so easy to change the front pads on! Man I love this truck! And at 150,000 it's just getting broken in!
