I took a couple of measurement before and wrote them down. Just after the lift on stock rims and tires it was 19 inches from ground to the bottom tab of the rocker panel. With the 33's and M/T's I'm now sitting at 22.5 inches. I know it'll settle a bit so those measurements will probably change.
Archie - I bought it back in February after I saw it still sitting. Called the owner and now here I am with a lifted 62! I'm driving the 62 for the time being since the FJC is getting some body work done. Seems that a tree jumped out at me at the Badlands and took its toll.
Brian - I'm off Monday and heading north to register it in Wisconsin. I could stop by and wave at you and your 40 if you'd like.

I would to avoid paying the annual 78 buck state fee and 90 buck (maybe be increased- for large vehicles) city sticker. Maybe insurance?

Archie hit it on the head! The +90 state plate, the $120 City sticker and the extra $400 on my insurance every year. Wisconsin gives me a cheaper plate, no smog test for the county it's in, no city sticker, and only $300 a year full coverage insurance. I own property in Wisconsin so I might as well take advantage of the benefit.

I'll bring my double flaring kit and tubing cutter if you need them. I'll dash up to Kenosha in the A.M. then head out your way. You need anything else from Phil's House of Tools?
Phil....thanks for your help....Love the 62...can't wait to see it on the trails

Just got off the phone with my body shop. Estimated damages are over $10K. I should have the FJC back by early May.
Thank God I lost my mind and got the 62! I wouldn't mind so much if I damage that!

Got my brake problem finally figured out and fixed! Seems that I incorrectly set the bearing preload which affected the front brakes! Stops on a dime now! I was so happy I had a new muffler thrown on for giggles! My wife is now happier that she can't hear me 3 blocks away!
