The wife moved our little jimny today, and I noticed a small pool of oil on the floor ... After going though all the metal oil leak possible problems in my head, I was confused ... Engine dry ... Gearbox .. Dry ... Front swivel joints ... Dry ... Kingpins ... Dry
So .... further inspection underneath revealed a thin sticky line up the inside of the rear wheel, and a trail comming from inside the drum.
Looks like a rear wheel bearing / seal... Time to spend more money with Martin ......

I suppse, given the abuse ours has recieved over the last 18 months ... Its not suprising we have only had the following fail ...
1 front Wheel Bearing
1 Starter Motor
4x4 vacuum bits fail
one clutch
and a set of brake disks / pads.
Add a rear wheel bearing to that

Any reason for it eating Bearings ? Our first Jimny lasted 4 years and, although was never taken swimming, was offroaded regularly. (bought from new)
Our current Jimny has already done 64,000 miles, so im not that surprised its needed a few components, and also given its been used almost solely offroad.
Did you change them yourself ? if so, are they hard to do ?
