    Those old photographs are incredible. What a total badass your dad was. I would do a front disk conversion. 2f and 4 speed. No modifications all bolts up. Just need a 3fe swap on one of mine. If you ever need pig parts I have a ton. But looks like you already have a parts rig.

    Love this thing! I’ve got an 87’ fj60. In regards to brakes, you should get on IH8MUD and look at the conversions. There’s a lot of guys doing FJ60 front disc brake swaps for the FJ55 but use the Toyota T100 calipers and a 96 4Runner or 80series brake booster and master cylinder. Definitely a solid upgrade for your rig.

    I think the only thing that is missing with the fj55 is the outfit. It definitely needs some bell bottoms, belt buckle, button up shirt and a brimmed hat. Maybe that will increase the HP?? 😜. In all seriousness, I've heard this story before and I fully expect to hear it a few more times. Bummed I never got to meet Mr. T. Alderman. It is an honor for me to have had the opportunity to participate in a trip so special. Not to mention being rescued by you and the fj55. The legacy continues!!

    The 1.6 8v, 1.6 16v, and 1.3 8v are all non interference engines. Idk who told you they were but they lied to you. If it has a timing *belt* its non interference. Timing chain engines are a different story. And the torque spec on the crank pulley (harmonic balancer) is 94 lb.ft. no more no less. And btw these engine time on #4 spark plug at TDC (top dead center) not on #1 like most every other engine. #4 on these Suzuki and tracker engines. Crank mark at 12, cam mark at 12, #4 TDC compression stroke, rotor pointing at #4 wire and youre good. But be careful. You can time these 180 out with the #4 being at TDC at the exhaust stroke fixing to take in intake. Pull your valve cover and watch your intake valve close. Once it closes stick a screwdriver in cylinder #4 and once the screwdriver reaches its peak of lift on the piston and just before it starts to go back down. Thats compression stroke #4. I know i went into detail. Better know too much than not enough. Im very familiar with these engines. They are awesome and simple. Unlike 4.6 and 5.4's im used to as well😂 congrats on the sammy.
