quick question: my lj 4 door has never given a correct fuel reading; the guage reads quarter of a tank and yet the tank itself is bone dry. took the terminal off the sender unit and earthed it on the tank, when i turned key to acc., the guage reaches full. so, i'm assuming the wire is fine and earthed properly. changed the guage over with a spare just to be sure, and did the same thing, reads 1/4 full when tnak is empty. is my sender unit shagged?

I'd say that your float arm is bend down too much and it hitting the tank before its supposed to, You can bend the float arm up a little this will make the float read more correctly, I wouldn't worry too much if you bend it a bit more than is needed as its better to say you have less fuel than you really have.
