Default Hub upgrade

Need to replace my front hubs and want to go stronger (wheeling, bumper, and winch tear the oem ones up pretty quick). Just wondering what brand(s) some of you are using to upgrade to better/stronger hubs.

I use National hubs from advanced auto parts That is the best and most expensive bearing they have. But I do alot of wheeling so I have to replace both sides about once a year. But with bearings you definitely get what you pay for, in my experience the more money you spend the better they are.

I've used National (it's what's on there now) and am sorely disappointed with how little abuse they can take. What you pay for is what you get, but I would think they'd be a little stronger for the price.

timken is by far my bearing/hub of choice!! or u could do a manual hub conversion . then u'll only have to replace tapered roller bearings when they fail , and there cheap! but the hub conversions kinda pricey!!

happy trails....
