Parts cost for LBJs, Inner & Outer TRE's?

[Rdy2offrd88]

So I just recently purchased a stock 2000 4runner limited 4x4 with 161k on the clock. I have all the service records from the dealer since 100k and it doesn't look like the ball joints or tie-rods have ever been replaced. So after some research I decided I want to go all OEM parts for these things. So over to TRDparts4u.com for both LBJ's, right inner and outer TREs, and left inner and outer TREs with 8 new LBJ bolts all for $542.50. Does this sound about right for these parts and is there anything else I should pick up to do while I'm in there?

Misleading thread title is misleading...

Replace your radiator. Do a search on which one to choose. Don't install a TYC brand.

Welcome to the club.

Priority is the LBJs. Seems to be a weak point, although you can usually see when they are failing. Agree that OEM is best.

TREs wouldn't hurt, but I would make the radiator a higher priority than the TREs. Koyo makes a good replacement. Best $200 (or less, including hoses, fluid, thermostat) you can spend as far as insurance (do a search for "pink milkshake" here).
