    I thought others might be interested in my experience with Bill @BamaToy1997.

    Very early in 2015 I purchased two wheel bearing/hub assemblies for my 2nd Gen Tacoma from BamaToy1997 and installed them. The bearings performed flawlessly and felt great at install. A few months after install I had some noise coming from the drivers front that after trouble shooting I concluded it to be the drivers side wheel bearing. I contacted Bill about the bearing and my concerns, which he quickly responded to. Bill sent me a replacement bearing relatively quickly and only asked that I sent the failed bearing back(I assume for his own inspection & quality control).

    I received the replacement bearing and installed it to find that it solved my noise issue. It was also obvious that the bearing seal had failed upon removal of the bearing in question(grease everywhere).

    Shit happens and the bottom line is Bill stood behind his product and the implied warranty. I know we all kind of question vendors online, but I would Highly recommend buying bearings from Bill @BamaToy1997.
