Does anyone have info on what happened? He seemed like a nice guy and people were happy with the parts/prices.

youll find info on all sellers on other sites.
some good and some bad. mostly bad with vendors not replying back.
my personal experience is alright with marion, but it just took almost a month, only replies with facebook. claiming internet is down at his area, so no email.
i will need to wait till saturday to get mines done, order 2 and 2 inner seals too.

Got it, this makes sense, thanks. I had looked at his posts but didn't see anything telling. I do recall a thread (not sure if it was here, TW, or another forum) where a few bearing guys got into a big spat... I think it was this Marion fellow but can't remember if the other guy was nj636 or not.
you can get it from here too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4Runner-Ta...CC+241Cu.+In.+V6+GAS+DOHC+Naturally+Aspirated

well got my bearings put on, 175900 is when the driver side really went bad.
marion took almost a month to get the product to me, but so far so good, 50 miles on and not a problem, just do all new rear seals too.

Posted in the other thread too, but there is a new guy on TW that sells them and has pretty good turn around from what i've seen. Tries to keep a set or two ready to ship.

Its been a few years but I had bought hubs from NJN636 guy and they were shipped out the day I ordered, arrived 2 days later and have been flawless since.

Good to hear. I have a front bearing that is starting to make a little noise so I have been planning my course of action. Came across his stuff on TW and liked what I saw.
It helps us A LOT since this is a shared part with the Tacoma. So much more aftermarket support for those trucks.

FWIW I replaced both fronts with the dorman units:

They went in fine and seem like a quality item. I am prepared to accept they aren't 100% the quality of something like BluePit. However, these are easy to swap out and the price is right.
The only issue was that the dust cap did not fit snugly. Easily solved by just flaring the base out a bit with some channel locks.
Drove from Dallas to New Mexico on them and they were smooth as can be, no issues yet!
