Anyone got the "hookup" on Genuine Toyota Parts???

[Greg72]

I've got a 2001 Toyota Landcruiser that is going to need what I'll call the "pre-muffler"... (comes after the cats, but before the final large canister near the tailpipe). It's located basically along the passenger side about half-way back.

Without even checking with my local Toyota stealership, I am going to guess at least $500 for the replacement, so I thought I'd put out the challenge to anyone here first.

If you know of a reputable website that sells Genuine Toyota parts, or happen to have other sources (like a friend that works at a parts place) let me know... I'm sure I can replace it myself, and I'd like to use a genuine part....just don't want the standard "reacharound" from my local Toyota Parts Counter.

The best source and the best knowledge is 'CruiserDan' at American Toyota in Albuquerque. On their phone options list in the parts section, he's #8.

CruiserDan is his user name over at the ih8mud.com board. In fact, since you own a 100-series Land Cruiser, you might want to be over there, too. If you happen to call him, make sure to tell him Claudia from the Mud board sent you.

I second CruiserDan, I know my buddy always uses him when he needs stuff for his 80

Word has it that the part retails for $444.06

Unfortunately, that about what I expected. I'll make a few phone calls as suggested and see what sort of discount is available.

Thanks guys!
