You will not find new. Rebuilt or rebuild or find used is your only options.

We can rebuild your unit and return it to like new condition. The rebuild cost starts at $250 and the turn around time is about 2 weeks. We can also attempt to source a core and rebuild it for you. It is best to rebuild the unit you have to make sure that it stays correct for the vehicle.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know.

Thanks,
Junior

If any hard parts need to be repaired or replaced then the cost would go up accordingly. Without disassembling your rack and inspecting it, it is impossible for us to tell you exactly how much it would cost, which is why we say "starting at".

Thanks!

You tried AutoZone? I got one there not too long ago.

It's reman, but they are cheap, and I figure if I get a few good years out of it I'll just send it out to Turn One to redo it.

It is not all that hard to install a replacement rack. Before you pay $450.00 for that work, check out the procedure in the FSM. It can be done on jack stands and about the only "special tools" needed are tubing wrenches. You WILL need alignment after doing the work.
