    Hey guys n gals, I bought my 2010 4x4 Taco in April and at that time I bought the Toyota extended warranty. Well I had my truck at my independent mechanic this week and he told me the wheel bearing on both sides were FUBARd. He called Toyota and they gave him the story that they would be covered but since the truck was so close to a dealership I should take it to them to do the work.

    I dropped the truck off yesterday for them to evaluate and check on the warranty claim/coverage. I'm not hopeful, just cause I'm paranoid.:rofl:

    So in anticipation of the dealer telling me they aren't covered I started researching ways to do the repair. I doubt my Indy dude had time to devote to that, he likely just looked up the book time to do the repair and gave me the quote.

    So my research found that the Internet has come up with a pre packaged replacement program. Right here on Tacomaworld we have two vendors who prepackage this fix. Both have long threads with many positive reviews, I haven't seen any negativity but I haven't read through the entire threads.

    I'm just looking for feed back to see what the general consensus is on who has the best deal. I'm definitely not looking to start a pissing match

    58, I'm sure you're correct, that's why I gave up reading and came here to ask : who has the best deal?
