    I love this site. I've learned and been directed so much by this community.

    I have 2018 Tacoma OR 4x4 and I love it. But, the front wheel bearings are now shot, and I'd love to do these myself. Can I get a awesome wheel hub assembly with bearings pressed, that isn't got to go to crap in 1 year (Timken, OE, SKF, Koyo?), like something from Autozone?

    Any advice or direction is appreciated.

    Are you saying that if you got an SKF or Timken from autozone that it would go to crap in a year?

    No. I didn't state that right. I've heard that SKF or Timken are great bearings...compared to bearings that you would get from an auto parts store.

    Check build thread!
    I've had good luck with SKF P/N BR930978. They're incorrectly listed as not compatible with a third gen Tacoma on RockAuto, but they are. Additionally, purchase SKF 30192 to have a replacement o-ring handy.

    I went with these guys:

    https://www.yotabearingsandhubs.com/shop

    2 years on them so far. only like 12,000 miles, but I run super heavy on them.

    EDIT: they have options for generic, and name brand bearings.

    My buddy always references RockAuto. I'll look into these.
