Ive always told myself dents and howling bearings only add character. ;-)

 

Not a whole lot on craigslist at the moment, Il let you know if I see anything.

 

Well I mean I understand. It is his jeep.

 

Thank you so much! That is very nice of you!!!

 

Ordered my replacement hub this morning and I should be expecting my AC-delete pulley in the mail any day... fun is on the way. Hopefully they get here before the holiday weekend.

 

What hubs did you get? I think I need to replace both of mine on the front. Timken sounds like the way to go.

 

Well.. I always get the cheap ones off of ebay. (Maybe that's why I replace them so often.)

These are just over $30, Timkin is going to run you 80-90 for one on ebay.

 

Yeah they're $88 each on amazon, and with my prime account I get free shipping. I'm ok with spending a little extra to get some good parts.

 

Yeah I considered spending the extra money this time around in hopes they would last longer. But to often, I will spend extra money on something because it is supposed to be better... and it's just as much of a POS as the cheaper item.

If it was for a DD i would probably have not skimped here, but i figure im only buying it to abuse it anyway.

Anyone have any experience with using cheap brand vs. name brand hubs?

 

But your his gf you should come before his jeep lol... I'm mainly just givin him **** lol

 

As far as hubs go ill spend 70-80 on a good name hub at oriellys and it'll have a lifetime warranty. Have only replaced mine once and when they go bad ill take em back with a receipt and get new ones for free. Also napa has a higher end line of hub bearings that have beefed up races and bearings over stock oem replacement hubs.

 

Sounds like I should have shopped around a little better. I didn't realize anyone would throw a lifetime warranty on hubs.

 

I just called around to several different part stores in Lees Summit and the best they can do is a Timkin brand or an equivalent with a 3yr warrantee for 100-115$.

I did however find this guy... again on ebay... with a lifetime warranty.

For me the only problem is that my hub i ordered this morning already shipped. Oh well, maybe next time.

 

Hahahahaha me? before his jeep? Riiiight (: no I think I do but I know that he's tight on cash right no so I'm cutting him some slack. (;

 

Doesn't sound right ill look tonight and see what I come up with
