Bought a used one from classifieds to replace the crapping out original on my 78. I'm sold on the upgrade

Am exploring and interested in the same, I am running a new one OEM that is still available, but is not gear reduction.

Is an FJ60 starter gear reduction that would be an option For a 79’?

Gear reduction starters are available in remanufactured from Toyota. I can't remember how much, but I know it was under $200.00
I'm pretty sure I just looked it up on Toyodiy or Toyota EPC for a newer fj60. Found the part number and googled it to find a picture just to verify it was the gear reduction style.( gear reduction is much smaller than the direct drive style ).
I have a gear reduction on mine and would never go back. Nice upgrade for sure.

I use my GR starter on the Karma Cruiser occasionally to crawl off road where the 3 speed gears aren’t low enough to maintain momentum. A side benefit.
