Novak Conversions Jeep Wrangler TJ engine mounts

What did you do to your TJ today?

Yea, its one of those "Didn't look all that great back then, but looks better now" things - probably because you virtually never see one of the 60/61 hoods.
I had a 60 Apache 10, The " Jet intake " F-100 Super Sabre hood takes quite a while to get used too.

Well Buff and Shine done for now. I am a little OCD when it comes to this so still need to put it up on the lift for the under carriage but it’s beer thirty.

:) Naff? I had to Google that one.

Definition of naff

British, informal​

: lacking in style or good taste : vulgar and unfashionable.

No Naff! :( RR plastic front fender covers do not fit with the painted 4 1/4 flares because there is no real ridge between fender and flare they are almost flush. Glad I didn't pay for them :)

Picked up a NIB original LJ soft top with all the hardware for $250.00 off Facebook Marketplace.

Thankfully the seller was willing to hold it for me till today. Was north of Pittsburgh and a 4 hour drive to get it. Seller said they bought a new 2006 Unlimited during the winter and 2 months after purchasing the jeep her brother totaled it. They never had the chance to put the top on it and instead just threw it in storage until 3 weeks ago. I was surprised that she still had it because her for sale post was 2 weeks old when I saw it.

Nice find….it’s like a time capsule.
 
Installed an Explorer 9 blade fan with a heavy duty clutch. I had no overheating issues, just thought I would give it a shot. It gets hot and humid here near the equator. Engine temp according to the accurate factory gauge had not changed much, maybe -15 ° C or 5° F. The A/C does seem to be cooler though so that's a plus.

Well I was going to take mine on a nice drive to the NC Zoo since my stepson was over this weekend....until I realized there are no back seatbelts! The shoulder belts are there but the other part that should be in the seat isn't. LOL in the few months I have had her no one has sat in the backseat, usually it's just me in it. So I guess I need to buy and install rear seatbelts....

they may be laying under the rear center of the seat on the floor?

Picked mine up last night from the shop after a regear with front Eaton eLocker and rear Truetrac. This morning I parked next to a friends new 392 here at work.

Interesting, I'm going with the same F eLocker / R Truetrac combo; I'm just waiting on parts at the moment. I'll be interested to hear how you like it!
