Hey guys just an FYI, learn from me, bought some hub bearings for the roadster and daily driver, roadster ones failed in 3 months and daily driver after a year. Had my mechanic evaluate them, and he said, cheap Chinese garbage! Stick with Brand name like Timken, just ordered replacements at Rock Auto. Lesson learned

A good reminder!
Cheap parts can get really expensive.

Great advice, I have built a few jeeps and trucks in the past. Always spend money on the things that see extensive wear. I used Ford Performance Parts through my entire build but saved money on common things like sealed connectors, gauges, switches, etc. I have a bench stock of parts so if they wear out they are a quick swap. Things that were internal to my engine, trans, axles, etc all got Ford Part numbers or better.

Also, if the part is difficult to access.
