Aha! Welcome to the Dark Side! You will absolutely love the Cruiser, when you spend some time inspecting it and fiddling with it you'll be amazed at the lengths Mr. T went to engineer these things.

You will likely find your insurance going up due to the Cruiser on coverage comparable to what you have now. Replacement parts etc are much more expensive than the pickup, and they are capable of inflicting great damage.

Really the only power mods available are turbo and SC. Everything else is window dressing and not worth it. I strongly suggest you set aside some coin for a full tune and maintenance. I haven't done everything to mine *yet*, but the power is sufficient for me and I'm averaging right at 14mpg city and almost 16mpg highway.

There are some quirky things you'll need to address, if the PO hasn't: heater hose, O2 sensor wiring, EGR, PCV.

33's fit with no lift. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'll be replacing my sagging stock suspension with OME stock height coils and some new shocks, the stability and clearance with this setup is superb.

Enjoy it, and be sure to post up in our Cruiser Forum here. BTW what color is it?
