Is it just a term? Or is it actually different? Im running a RC 4.5 lift on my 95, I would love to go higher but cant right now. I just went from 32x11.5 to 33x 12.5 and they are quite a bit bigger. I do like the idea of one drive shaft fits all. Please tell me more

Well, it appears after the Reiter Trip a couple weekends ago that I have bad, loose or otherwise noisey, front wheel bearing / hub assemblies. Since I will be driving my Jeep to Nevada next Tuesday, it looks like I will be replacing them over the weekend. I found a really awesome deal online that I want to tell you guys about. My son just payed $120 plus tax for 1 wheel bearing / hub assembly from our friendly neighborhood Autozone. He did get Timken bearings so, they are the best. However if you're on a budget. I found a place online (www.am-autoparts.com). I bought 2 front wheel bearing / hub assemblies for $103.75 and the place also has free shipping going on right now. So, both front wheel bearing assemblies delivered to my front door for $103.75. So, even if these things shread in half the time as a Tinken bearing, I could get another set of 2 from them for what 1 set would have cost me from Autozone.

Hey Thanks Brian! I have one that just started to squeak. Eather that or I have a mouse hiding down there, lol. Last time it was almost $200.00 delivered to my front door on Ebay. They lasted about two years. Anybody know the average life span of a offroad / DD front wheel bearing?

hey go to George The Jeep Guy out in Covington. he charges $40 each for hubs. The best hubs/wheel bearings to get are the ones off of cherokees and not from a store like autozone. the original jeep made bearings are a lot stronger than the ones made after jeep built all theres. just a little FYI

and if time allows take off the homemade gutter mounts to sand, prime and paint (I know not in the same day)
