    So I normally wouldn’t purchase a part off of Amazon except when I see that the Seller is an actual dealership. In this case I purchased the crushwashers needed for front/ Rear Dif and Transfer case from Amazon where it was listed as shipped by Amazon but sold by an actual dealership. I went to the dealerships store front to confirm they had plenty of other genuine Toyota parts for sale a they did. I was curious after receiving them about the part number on the label. I can’t seem to find it reference as a Toyota part number. I suspect these are no different than any of the bulk crush washers I could have purchased off of Amazon. My thought is this is probably a made a part number for that dealership as a side hustle to make a few bucks. Additionally, I’m not sure there would really even be a difference between what you would get from Toyota and the ones on Amazon anyway.

    If anyone has any thoughts I’d like to hear them.IMG_0590.png IMG_0592.jpg

    Looks like they put a bunch of different gaskets in a single baggy and used a label with an Amazon part number.

    Probably not but crush washers are crush washers.

    I bought a set similar to that from Amazon and put on when I changed diffs/TC oils. Haven’t had an issue.

    I bet that’s it. It’s an Amazon part#. Not that I’d know for sure but they looked/felt like they were decent quality so I’m “ok” with the purchase.

    Look like what I got at the parts counter, how much they cost? Pretty much all I'd trust Amazon for.

    More than likely they are genuine if the seller is a Toyota dealer. The baggy and label is probably part of their Amazon online store.

    Got the same packaging on mine when I had my Tacoma. No problems using them!

    I buy aftermarket crush washer kits for my motorcycles. I have a half dozen bikes and getting to dealerships for each brand is a pain. My KTM gets its oil changed every 10-15 hrs so I go through a lot. Never had a leak ever. They are usually soft aluminum or copper. You should have no problem.
