hub replacement
so the time has come to replace my hubs.. and usually when I have to replace something I try to upgrade if possible and thats my question.. (and yes i tried a search but couldnt find the info i was looking for..) are there any upgraded hubs for cherokees? i know they sell locking hubs, and i know the purpose - those would be cool if i were rich but being a student i dont really see much need for them at this point. anyone have any suggestions or input (horror stories etc..) as to the quality of the different brands? I know skf is the bearing to get and i put in a call to them to see if anyone manufactures hubs using their bearings and am waiting for a return call so i figured it check this in the mean time.. thanks for the input, and if i find anything ill be sure to post it..
.... not related to the post at all but i found this in the smileys and just think it looks funnier than s--- alalalalalaaaa lol

Idk about on jeeps, but on other makes I always use timken bearings. I have a bad habit of killing skfs where the timkens are fine.

Timken is where its at. Rockauto.com is the cheapest. Idk if it comes with the 2 or 3 yr warranty but earlier this year Timken went back to 3 yr warranty. I'm buying a set tomorrow when I get paid
Edit: Rockauto only says 12 month warranty on all types of wheel bearings, lame
