www.championtoyota.com and www.trdparts4u.com both give Employee pricing and are two of the largest online dealers.
the sister site for TRDparts4u.com is Toyotapartsales.com both are owned/operated by toyota of Dallas. the TRD parts are mostly offroad, the partsales.com site is all replacement OEM
I will be trying the one mentioned in this thread
I'm looking at redoing my steering components and have been shopping around. First I tried the usual two: Rockauto and ToyotaPartSales.com
Upon more research, I found partsgeek.com and so far have found ~$50 of savings. Shipping is whats killing TPS.com
some parts you definitely want OEM though and partsgeek states,
"Buy brand new wholesale auto parts direct from a nationwide car parts online supplier, partsgeek! We have no middlemen on your discount auto parts purchase! Buy direct from us! At Parts Geek ® it's our focus to provide you with a wide selection of new, genuine, OEM, rebuilt, and OE quality"
OE quality is not OEM, they say that same thing about aftermarket headlights and everyone knows those are crap. just be careful on what you get, but Ill definitely check this site out.

For every part that I have checked, toyotapartsales is cheaper than all the other places listed here. They generally charge about 27% below MSRP. Plus they have been very helpful to me when I needed help finding a part or verifying that I had the right part number, their staff e-mailed me back right away and got me the right part. I have probably dropped about $500 there so far.
1sttoyotaparts.com
Same prices as employees get at dealerships
^^ I agree with this. I just compared a list of parts I was buying on both 1sttoyotaparts and toyotapartsales and 1sttoyotaparts.com was cheaper in both parts prices and shipping.
Who has the best price for online purchases of factory Toyota parts?
