New 62 Owner Saying Hi

[daveIT]

Welcome to Mud, Micah!
Nice Cruiser, look forward to see what you do with it!

 

[TuesdayPrepper]

Howdy - that is a niiice cruiser. I'd say "welcome" but it looks as if you've been here a lot longer than I have. : )

 

[MicahMan]

Thanks guys. I'm new to the 62 but have a 40 I wheel the crap out of.

 

[MicahMan]

Finally got some work done.
Rear springs on and looking great.

I measured 21.5 inches both sides from my garage floor to the last crease before the bumper. After springs driver side 25.75 passenger 26.
I expect these to come down slightly once the front is lifted.








Sorry bad camera pics in the garage.

Thanks

Lift Installed!

OK so here is the before and after.

After pics still are crappy cell pics so don't show how great the lift is.

Headed to Logan with the inlaws and taking Whitey with us. First decent road trip in her!

 

[MicahMan]

Took the family out to test the lift. Girls loved it.
We have named the 62 "Blanco"

 

[OGBeno]

Very nice sir. Very cool to see that the LC's in your life are a family affair.



PS: where do I send my testimonial?

 

[bentonrover]

Cool family pics.

 

[MicahMan]

Thanks my girls are always asking to go on an adventure in the FJ. They do have a hard time choosing between the 40 and the 62

 

[MicahMan]

So I spoke with Darren, the previous owner, today and he said I needed to put up some better after pictures. So channeling my inner Bruce Dorn I took some shots at dusk trying to make them pop!

Here they are.
One more before.

and a few after.

Turned out sweet!

 

[MicahMan]

Plan

hey bud the 62 is lookin awesome. super clean. what are you planning on using this rig for? hunting, camping, exploring etc. keep up the good work.

So the big plan with this rig is to do a long road trip next summer that will go from Salt Lake to Ouray to Michigan into Canada and home. Its going to be about 2000 miles and 14 days.

The hunting I do goes places that the 40 is better suited, but the 62 is more comfy.
I still have projects to do, but my list is still getting tackled.

Next up. Body work and some cool retro graphics. Then the RoofTop Tent.
Then bumpers. Hopefully a long range tank, and maybe even gearing before the trip. I'd love to put a locker in the rear as well when that happens!

Some fun cosmetic stuff

I like that!
I was thinking of blacking out the hood. I'll have a light bar up top!
