If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Your friend is referring to taper rollers, as fitted to Proper Cars from The Olden Days 
These you did up until there was just a trace of play (actually, you were supposed to measure the endfloat with a dial gauge).
The front bearing on a Jimny is a one piece cassette type, with the centre race split in the middle. When you do the nut up tight, the split closes and correctly preloads the bearing.
Some eBay sellers sell a pair of taper roller bearings for the Jimny, these are wrong, and won't fit properly.
