So, a couple of months ago, my good friend and fellow Police Officer Stevan Gerber was shot in the line of duty while trying to apprehend a parole absconder that had been convicted of murder.
Years ago, before we were cops, Stevan's brother Rick (also a good friend) and myself convinced Stevan to purchase the 1976 FJ55 below
Well, Stevan is not mechanically motivated to say the least and over time, we lost touch due to working at Police departments that are 50 miles apart. Eventually, the carbed 350 began to give him troubles and he parked it, leading to more of this.
Well, Stevan's wounds were not life threatening but they will keep him from walking for a long time and may affect his ability to get back onto the SWAT team. Hell, he has a 6 inch titanium plate in his leg.
He is down in the dumps and Rick, our friend Todd and myself decided that we were going to "steal" the FJ55 and give it a makeover. Initially, this included a tune up and some paint but with help from Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters and Wasatch Cruisers, we got far more help than deserved or expected.
The plans are as follows.
Remove carb and install TBI system - DONE
YouTube - Tbi inject v8 in 1976 LandCruiser FJ55
Also, here is a link to our paypal account that we setup for donations. There is also a link to a Deseret news article.
