Back from my work trip to Nelson and Fernie. Man, do we ever need to plan a trip out that way one summer! Anyways, I spotted a couple Cruisers (all 40s) for sale. Rob, that blue 40 in Midway is still sitting with a for sale sign off the highway. Also, saw a nice looking red 40 with a for sale sign on a side road junction just over the Kootenay River bridge on the way into Nelson. I also followed a very nice green BJ40 into Rock Creek but had to pass him on the hill. You can only go so slow in a Nissan Safari. 
Over 5000 kms in 3 weeks and she's still running strong. Although, I can't say the same for my back and butt.
I am really wishing I hadn't gone with medium springs and heavy duty OME shocks. I am going to have to add some steel plate soon to soften out the ride.

I have 28 year old stock seats, OME Heavies. Drove to Northern California and back in July, no air conditioning or radio... that's 109.4 degrees in the truck.
- except on the big hills - which sure beats natural airflow for cool. But I sure would love a set of those suspension seats which some cruisers have. US highways have BC highways beat hands down for smooth ride. That section of Highway 3 from Cawston to the top of the Richter Pass is like riding a poggo stick. I wonder where all that gas tax money is going - especially the additional 3% which was supposed to be for highway upkeep. There are tire size holes all over the place and we haven't even got to winter yet. 
Actually, I prefer driving on compact snow as it tends to smooth out the road.
