It didn't take me long messing with aftermarket parts to figure out oem or oem supplier is the only way to go. I don't like buying parts/doing the job twice.

I buy enough stuff from the dealer that they set me up an account for a discounted price. Most the time though, these guys still beat it, by a little or alot https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/

 If you put in the work to figure it all out, you can find alot of Toyota oem supplier parts, aisin, denso, koyo, etc. from Napa (under their Altrom import line) or rock auto and elsewhere. I've purchased parts like timing covers and oil pumps with the Toyota ground off the casting. I've had great luck using these parts.

Here is an interesting article I saw on another forum https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2019/08/05/denso-oem-aftermarket-parts-from-same-manufacturer-not-identical/?fbclid=IwAR3gtUx7ddoUI-4GCrEQCkDFZ3VjHpZKjnjX-3X-hhxIghRj38sIDjxRRxQ

Im curious about these websites amayama and partsouq. I see alot of people online mention them But I'm not sure the parts arnt counterfeit. I think they are shipping out of Japan and India. I don't really remember.
