We have you covered regarding chain and sprockets. You'll just need to decide which sprockets sizes you want to use.

Thxs...I will report after the job... happy 2026

All fixed... runs great.. thxs all

For the discount there was a code I think it was winter 25 or winter 2025. The person I spoke with knew all about it, but it new at that time. This was months ago, people forget thing. I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Not sure how confident you are in your wheel bearings (if they are original) but if you are pulling the wheels off to replace tires changing the bearings out is not that difficult and bearings are not much money IMO for the confidence to know the bearings are good and new. You just need a bearing puller set. The bearings in my FJ were original they seemed ok but being 40 years old I replaced them anyway.

I also imagine you are updating sprockets and chain to new, if so you may want to consider changing gearing. I went from stock 17/41 to 18/40 and like it a lot better, I don't notice any power loss on the bottom end and each gear is a bit longer making for a more enjoyable ride, also bringing my RPM's down a little at highway speeds.

The carbs are packed up to ship to RPM tomorrow, which is also when I am expecting the new Pirelli Sport Demons to arrive.  They will replace the original Dunlop (rear) and Bridgestone (front) tires.

Still in the early restoration and acquisition stage.

Pat text me that the WCR is on this year in Willits, and that even the Convict from down under is being let back into the country for it. Willits was my favorite camp site of all the rally spots we used.

Count Me In!! It will be good to see old friends, sit around the camp fire and especially ride SKAGGS SPRINGS RD again.

I saw a post that there is a discount available, what do we need when we make our reservation?

LA Mike

Excellent!  I was wondering if we'd see you.  Hope all's well Mike and look forward to seeing everyone, even Klavdy, in the Spring.

Hey Mike!

I did get the discount but only after the person I spoke to looked up another member's res and found that they were receiving it. Seemed like they thought it was a mistake but gave it to me anyway.

Pat, largely thanks to all your help, you're FJ Yoda!

Quote from: STLanduyt on January 06, 2026, 02:18:44 PMThank you 86FJNJ for the fuel pump conversion downloads.  Both came through and are very helpful, along with Red's fuel filter suggestion and information.

Eric...See how helpful that turned out? Good on ya...that's what makes this forum work.

Steve, FYI the float needle seats are what's different between the gravity flow carbs and the fuel pump carbs.
They have a smaller opening on the fuel pump carbs (vs. gravity flow) due to the higher line pressure.
The gravity flow carbs have float needle seats that have a larger opening, lower line pressure.
If you try and use the gravity flow needle seats on a fuel pump application, the high line pressure from the fuel pump will push the gravity flow needle away from the seat and flooding will occur.

Just let Randy know you're switching to uni-pods and he can make the necessary adjustments to your carb when you send it to him for the rebuild. Typically a shim needs to be added enrich the fuel a bit to address the added air flow from the uni filters.

I like the golan fuel filter because it has 10 micron filtering which was the best I could find. But I still also run the normal yamaha pre-filter which I think is 40 micron to catch the bigger stuff before fuel hits the golan filter after the pump.
