What did you do on your 70 series today? (25 Viewers)

I think it looks great.

Brake pads and rotated tires. $13 at autozone for new pads with lifetime warranty. I told them I had a 1982 fj60 since they got confused with 70 series. Alberto and Wayne were a huge help when I got frantic trying to source pads.

Well thats good to know.... looks good!

Fwiw, AutoZone pads are semi-metallic and pretty damn hard. They get their lifetime warranty at the expense of your rotors.

AISIN (OE manufacture) sells a clean compound pad for the 40/60/70, fwiw:

Front Brake Pads 9/1975-1/1990 - $37.50/set
One set per axle. High Quality Japanese - AISIN
(Fits 9/1975-1/1990 40/55/60/70 Series)
Part# BR04465

Very good to know. Thanks. The guy told me the stock ones for 60 series were semi-metallic so i rolled the dice. This is good information to know.

I don't know about Kurt's time with da Zone, but when I was slinging parts there working my way through college, 3/4 of my coworkers would not have been able to tell the difference between a Jeep CJ and a much more manly 70 series ... Much less have a clue as to the composition of OEM pad on a 60

Nowadays, my experience with them is if it is in the computer, it is the gospel. And we all know that everything that is on the Internet (and MUD) is 110% factually correct gospel.

Woody's gonna send me to hell for even suggesting that there are incorrect facts here on MUD ...

That's why you always go to the "old fart" in the parts store. The knowledge is usually in his head more so than a computer screen.

Plus the guys in my local NAPA not only work with me and my unusual parts requirements, but they actually claim that I make their day with the out-of-the-ordinary parts purchases. It appears that Cruisers bring joy far and wide.

Got stuck after winching a few trucks out

Getting ready to replace the rear bearings & oil seals on my bj75 rear axles. Dropped the oil before my 2 week Nfld trip and I'm back and schedule is piling up with running around my siblings, hopefully next week I will tackle it. Pics to come....

Dropped in at the "spa" to check progress….
