#897 ? '76 FJ40 Conway, AR

Both for me. No leaks......so far.

I did this last Spring. It was intimidating, but once I got in there it wasn't so bad. Be patient and take your'e time. It will be VERY messy with all the grease. Put down a tarp or something to cover the floor. I wore old clothes that went in the trash afterward, rather than the washing...

I may give him a ring. I want to get rid of my Delco Remy and go back to Toyota dizzy at some point

I dont use the skinny pedal too bad, i think. Try to go easy on it. Mostly mixed town and highway driving. Ill try to do some more on the highway and see how it does. Got my son coming home next week to help with tune up/carb adjustment.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I've not done a proper "tube" up yet. Need to find someone to help me with that. I recently went from an old Rochester carb back to the Aisin. If memory serves the Rochester got 9 mpg, but it ran like crap and i wanted the Aisin anyway. The Aisin runs so...

i got CityRacer's 16" and Yokahama G0003 MT 235/85/16. Love 'em. '76 FJ40.

Mine was a Japanese Tokico brand from Cruiser Parts. perfect fit.

i just replaced mind a few months ago. if I remember right, it was an integral "bolt". everything replaced as one piece. tim

I bought the Marlin set. It has the NachI 30303 bearings like those pictured on the left. I put them in and they seem to fit. Should I be worried? My rig will be a daily driver and light offroad. No serious crawling or anything. Sorry to resurrect an old topi.
