I'd return it. You paid for an undamaged axle. It's probably not critical, but when I buy parts at a premium cost from Toyota, I expect them to be new.
Looks like there's four. Edit the following if you're in. I've been waiting for at least 2 years for this to come around. ...... We just need one more, or one of us to buy two. Not sure if this counts, but I'd also buy a GX470 set (if available).

I don't have an aftermarket alarm, but any time there's an aftermarket anything, you should really look at the wiring. I've seen some awful installs.
I noticed my issue after a lot of rain. The previous owner(s) mudded pretty hard in the truck years ago. This clogged the drain plugs somewhere...
I'm working this issue right now also.
SUMMARY:
Issue: Door Ajar Light dim but remains on when headlights are off regardless of engine state (on and off). Door Ajar Light turns off when headlights are on. Door Ajar Light can be turned on while headlights are on by turning Dash lights to full...
I've been working an interesting issue with my door ajar light. It appears to turn on when my headlights are off. Even with the doors closed and I double checked all the switches. independently. There's no change. What's strange is when I turn the headlights on, the light turns off. Also, when...
Any chance you could post the parts list?
My wife just bought an ‘05 GX. She loved my ‘04 LX 470 so much she had to have something similar.
I just started making my list of maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. Upgrading the stereo would be an awesome start.
I'd like to organize this so we can move forward. The current list of interested people are below. It sounds like @kelly saad is willing to do the builds we have at least 4 folks commit. So we basically need 3 more before we can move forward.

@MycoManiac...
I’m still in. Just let me know when to pay. I have a 2004 LX470.
My OEM lights are terrible and I drive on very dark and narrow roads often. I’ve considered a bumper (for light options) and will definitely add one, but getting the grill opens up a lot if possible light options without adding a...
I'm actually considering doing this to my 04 LX470. I think the 7" light profile has so many great options. I'm tired of my lights and I drive constantly in the mountains at night. Having better lights would be amazing.
I'm still hoping for that one to come around. Every time I think about doing a retrofit for my lights, I just keep thinking about those 7" conversions. How have we not found enough people for a group buy?
I've also considered buying a LC100 hood and then getting a normal grill from you, but hen...
I'm thinking of doing a hood swap to my '04 LX470 so I can get better headlights installed. Sounds like you tried the same thing? I'm curious why it didn't fit.
