In keeping with the recent theme, I purchased my first Cruiser over the weekend. The purchase served as the end of an often frustrating 6-month search. I won't bore you with the specs, but she's a 2000, with 165k on the clock, rust free, has been impeccably maintained, and importantly, dons the river rock green color that I've long admired. I would like to extend my gratitude to you all for providing advice along the way and for creating such an invaluable resource for a first-time purchaser. I've attached a couple poorly taken photographs of the rig. I immediately removed the running boards and bug deflector and am now torn between purchasing tires (likely BFG A/T's), or Slee Step Sliders. Any reasonable justification for one over the other is greatly appreciated. Current tires are off-brands but in good shape. For what it's worth, I plan to do little off road travel, except for the 1 mile trek through fairly tame, but often saturated farmland when enroute to the duck blind a dozen or so times each year. Best regards, and I look forward to my membership in this worthy club.
