    I joined to see what is possible
    I called the dealer and asked for the center carrier bearing on a 2007 Tundra CM 2wd, gave them my vin and they came up with the part:
    Toyota carrier bearing#37230-34060 $305.66

    I thought to myself, heck no! and started looking at Dana/Spicer like others have mentioned. After hours of figuring out numbers and cross referencing what others have said/used, I still couldn't come up with a definitive answer. So I searched for Spicer customer service number, called them up and the rep told me that part was a Toyota exclusive and that they don't have a part that would match.

    I looked up toyodiy and they showed the part:
    37230 BEARING ASSY, CENTER SUPPORT, NO.1
    37230-34060 $247.19

    I saw someone post about the part DANA 2117501X (I think theirs was a 4wd) and I pulled up the compatibility list via rockauto which showed OEM part number: 3723034050. last two digit is 50 instead of my 37230340(60).

    Any insight would greatly help, I have a family road trip coming up end of May with very limited time to be able to do the repair since I am leaving the country for a week as well. Want to get it right in 1 go...

    also for my vehicle Toyota told me OEM U-joint spider kit universal# 03471-0c084 $108.54
    Spicer 5-1350x $20.89(rock auto) seems to be the replacement part. These are the sealed non-zerk fitted one. Just to have the information floating out there for anyone else.
