What did you do to your TJ today?

Our caravan.

We don't have an RV, so we stayed in a hotel.

But I was able to provide outdoor bar space.

The RV park had the about the best view in Rapid City.

My fender rust repair didn't hold up because I used some really old stuff (J-B Weld steel stick) I had in my toolbox. I removed it, cleaned and rust proofed the exposed metal and tried again with some new J-B Weld KwikWeld. This stuff worked great. Sanded it down, painted it and put my "tool holder" back on. Looks like new. :unsure:

How did you even know there was rust developing under there?
 
I was going to order a hood cowl to replace my badly faded one. Before I spent $100, I decided to try my Formula 1 red color wax. It worked pretty good and even stained my fingers pink.
p.s. The tire track decals are there to take your eyes away from the tree branch dent under them. Nobody ever noticed the dent. :cool:

They were just opening for the season. So there weren't many people. The motor cycle parking stalls were a different thing.

This guy served us plenty of moonshine and whiskey samples. Fun guy and stories.

After the original burned down, they moved to 700 acres and were expanding when we were there. Stretching the overhead and doubling the bars outside.

I went to Rapid City, SD over the holiday weekend with my brother. I didn't get much time offroading but there are lots of trails there. We found one mid level trail and a guy took his 2 door JK off road with us for the first time. My Jeep handled good in the hills and roads of the parks. I think I averaged around 15-16 mpg which surprised me.

As normal, most of my damage was onroad. A black truck got off I-90 a little in the 30-40 headwinds going there and tossed a big rock.

I got some drinks and a bottle of Whiskey from Full Throttle Saloon to ease the pain.

My speedometer and cruise stopped working 40 miles from home. I'll check the hall sensor on the SSSYE. The odometer stopped advancing too because no speed registers so I could have a permanent 85,000 miles if I want.

Overall, good trip.
