this is an important thing to note. if you drive your car long distances and you break down in BFE by way of Charleston where are you gonna get those parts? can you roll into the local Vato-Zone and get something off the shelf or is it special order from a "boutique'' company that only answers their phone on Wednesdays between 3.33 and 4.44 pm on the second crescent of the moon?

my buddy had me convert his late model jeep to locking hubs using some company that had proprietary knuckles. roached a bearing and ate up the stub axle. 8 months later the hong-kong phooey stuff finally showed up after weeks and weeks of "it's on a boat" when you could get them on the phone.

so, just something to take under consideration.
