After buying the cruiser the first thing I did was take off the stock running boards and change all the fluids. After that, my dad and I loaded up and took it wheeling around Colorado. It was so impressive to see what this cruiser could do stock. My dad I think was more impressed than me due to the way it was so easy to crawl with an Auto and the more ground clearance to the axel thanks to the 285s (still to small and will get to that later) compared to his 40. There were two things we noticed from that trip though, the suspension was shot, and it would feel a lot better if there were some rock sliders there just in case

So as soon as we got home I ordered some slee sliders and some OME coils and Fox Shocks to give it a nice lift and a little bit better ride.

Just outside of Creede Colorado! No wheeling, but really cool mining history. Called the Bachelor loop: The Bachelor Loop - https://www.creede.com/bachelor-loop

Haha nothing else currently! This summer I did get a killer deal on a really clean 2013 Mercades G Wagon with a blown motor. I sourced a low mileage used motor and had a shop swap it in while I was in Alaska and sold it for a nice profit after. That is what really helped me justify dumping all the money in the cruiser! G Wagons are also sweet, I really enjoyed driving that this summer.
