    Anyone find another source for driveshaft bolts besides the stealership? Looking for the bolts/nuts/washers for both the front driveshaft as well as the rear. After meticulously digging through the Toyota parts website for all the part numbers, I'd be looking at around $60 for everything which I thought was pretty steep for a handful of fasteners. I also looked at fastener suppliers but from what I understand the the nuts/bolts are M11 x 1.0 which is a weird size to find. Thoughts?

    Get them from the dealer or Merlin crawler has them a little cheaper. These are special sized shoulder bolts, with high grade and fine thread count due to torque. You can get by with a metric 12.9 for a while but I’d stick with the oem.

    I'd just play it safe and go OEM. You don't want a driveshaft coming apart at speed
