I got all my parts at Champion Toyota over the phone. Much better prices than I could have gotten locally (Albuquerque, NM) and because they're a dealer, all of the parts are Toyota OEM. I believe TundraSolutions members get a discount. Call 1-800-327-2087 and ask for Shannon Brookshire.

As for the work -- yes, I did it myself. It was a long job, but very satisfying once it was done. Plus, my Toyota dealer wanted $1050 to change out everything I wanted changed and even after buying a couple of special purpose tools like a spanner wrench and a pulley holding tool, I did it for less than half of that.
