New springs needed with Bilstein 5100’s adding a steel bumper and winch?

That's great! Let me know how those Foxes work out for you.

You got it! A little apprehensive after hearing how stiff they are. Hopefully the revalving/tuning makes them ride nice on and off road.

On a different note, do you know a source of used parts from junk yards or a reliable source of discounted OEM parts? Lots on ebay but who knows if those are really oem parts.

I am new to Toyota so I have not needed to learn that.

I want to buy 1x steering rods, inner/end to carry for trail spares but I don't want either dealer pricing or a cheapo part that will fail before I am out of the trail, lol.

I see junk yards sell entire racks, which makes sense, but not in my case.

I really don’t. Years ago when I lived in the Phoenix area I would go to the pick and pull junkyards for things I needed for other vehicles but this is my 1st Toyota as well.

True about EBay and I guess you never know.

If you did the pick and pull in person you would know they were OEM. I’m reluctant as well, even ordering new. A lot of stuff on EBay claims OEM but I don’t trust that they all are.
