Brutal! Somehow, I think you can probably cover the tariffs with the difference!
Japan 4x4 is far better than buying from two guys in a garage...
Dave likes to make this analogy but it’s not true in the slightest for most of the bigger online parts suppliers from overseas.
And he’s been making it for years.
Last time I checked, he’s in a garage as well.
I wish my job was in a garage...
tbh, yet again. I think of birfields as disposable parts (and it is a wear item). In which case, I just buy good quality ones, rather than OEM.
Bonus if they are made in Japan.
I am running rear RCV axle shafts, but regular japanese-made Birfields up front.

Been in this building for 11 years now. Prior to that across the river. Smaller building. Still have a parking lot across the river.Dave likes to make this analogy but it’s not true in the slightest for most of the bigger online parts suppliers from overseas.

3 floors of warehouse. 20 foot ceiling on first floor. Freight elevator. Overhead crane. Not really set up as a "garage". Only work on my own vehicles.
Japanese made at the very least is mandatory. Chinese made is a guarantee they'll be disposable IME
I think there's several Japanese made ones that are equivalent to OEM without the Toyota tax
