My past 2 weekends (With Photos)
Although I had only a small amount of rust (floor panels and such) there was a bead of bubbling paint on the passenger's side door. To keep the rust from getting out of control I did the Herculiner on the rockers trick. Check out the photos.
As you can see, I also herc'd the bumpers and...
I left the fender flares off for now and actually like it a lot. I herc'd some screws so that I can fill the holes, but honestly, with the textured herc you can't really notice the holes that easily. If I decide to keep the fender flares off for god, I'll use some of the left over herc to seal the screwsover the holes and that will be that.
With the herc done, I took the maiden voyage to the nearby mountain lake (the ice just melted off and the big cut throats were pounding our line). The Yakima roof rack worked like a charm.
And today, I took the old Heep up the local road with tons of trails. Unfortunately, the runn off sreams are still really really high from the snow melt so I wasn't able to take my vertically challenged XJ across them. Nonetheless, the trails and views were great.
But don't go off the edge...
And for any of you who think that Wyoming is just a dust wasteland, you've been educated. This is no more than 10 minute from my house. I'm just a few hours from the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone.
I'll be back up tomorrow.

Wyoming is one of the few states I have not been to yet. It is definately on my list of places to visit and explore. With the scenery in your pics, I will be looking you up when I get the chance to get out there so you can show me that trail.
Good job on the Herculiner.

I brought back 6 bows all about 20" or so. You get a pretty good range in size and species of trout from 4 types of cut, brown, bow, & brooke. in lakes and ponds you get some decent sunfish, walleye, bass of course, and all the rest. This is a pretty good place to fish. You're not going to get the Steelies here, but I did my time in Oregon.

Did a trip out to Wyoming and Montana a few years ago. Where in WY are you?
My bud bought 30 acres just outside Medicine Bow a few years ago, not far from the Miracle Mile.

Medicine bow is about 4 hours due South of me. I'm up in Sheridan...20 miles or so from the Montana Border on I-90.
Wyoming sure is a great place for outdoor sports. I've filled my 4 doe tags, my general doe tag, limited out pheasant hunting numerous times, have a Turkey to take for Thanksgiving, and plan to harvest 1-2 antelope. I could take 7 antelope but I don't think he family can eat all that meat in one year.
