Excited to finally join the Copper State Cruisers community! I've been a Cruiserhead since '97 when I picked up my trusty truck, and we've been through a lot together. From conquering every trail in Moab to exploring countless routes in Colorado, this old girl has seen it all.
Recently, I've been giving her some well-deserved upgrades. Just installed a fresh set of OME leaf springs, and I swapped in a Saginaw power steering conversion, sick of muscling up when standing still. The EFI conversion and new fuel tank have brought her into the modern age, paired with a Weber 38mm carb and headers for that extra kick.
On the cosmetic side, the seats got a facelift with some reupholstering, and I even managed to add a drop-down tailgate salvaged from a '63 I found in a junkyard back when I was 14. We did a new back half tub, years of Colorado salts and Moab trail scars left the back have of the tub FUBAR.
Sure, there's still work to do, but every day brings us closer to perfection. Looking forward to swapping stories, tips, and maybe even some parts with fellow enthusiasts here at Ih8mud and Copper State Cruisers. Can't wait to hit the trails with you all!
