Novak Conversions Jeep Wrangler TJ radiator
Jeep dialed in, ac working and no oil out the vent breather.

Buuutttt, it's being sold to a local club member and fellow jeep enthusiast. New owner is a former ultimate adventure participant too and knows the previous owner. I have first buyback rights if they decide to sell it.


It's been a fun journey and thanks to everyone for the help along the way. I'll still be around as jeep fan.

Dang! All that fresh Fluxor stuff just to see it off. It was a beautiful rig to see all the while. Hopefully the new owner pops in and shows it off.

I should be picking this back up this weekend! Missed it too much and new owners want to build a designated crawler. Pics will come when I am the owner again but I’m real excited! Realizing I shouldn’t have sold it.

Congrats on getting your rig back. I read this thread when doing research for my build. I don’t think any of us ever go too long without a jeep.

Thanks! I was missing it and started casually looking again. That’s when they texted me and asked. I originally said no and tried to be an adult but that didn’t work.

Hopefully what I learned here helped with yours.

It’s back home! Some little things I want to do and fix. New grill on order to paint to delete the jk turn mod. I wanted to eventually convert it to stock fenders so I’m happy with it. New tires and wheels with the tires I wanted to run all installed by the previous owners. They get to focus on a designated crawler and I get my LJ back, so overall a win.

Need to fix ac and make space in the garage.

The caddy can sit outside 😉
 
Collecting parts for a grill swap to delete the jk signals and cracking clear coat.

- Painted new mopar grill obtained.
- @mrblaine stock power steering cooler in route.
- Going to install this @Fluxor corner armor soon
- been tidying up the stock flairs, adding flare nutserts to front and minor things missed from the fender swap.
- need to pull the savvy sliders and clean them.
- on the list for a flux rear bumper at some point!

Waiting until after the grill install is done to recharge ac as it’s currently not working.

Getting back into jeep wrenching life and it’s good to be back!
 
Yes it is. I can actually get to that upper control arm bolt now 😂.


Exhaust pipe is a northeastern Exhaust unit in stainless. I wanted mandrel bends vs the crimp bends the Walker unit has. Price was about the same too.

Walker 33231 is their stainless version if the 2.25 butt clamp

Do you have the exhaust part numbers by chance? Seems like you are using another straight piece between the muffler and the northeastern exhaust pipe? I assume no difference between LJ and TJ tailpipe?

No difference but I did need to add an extra stainless pipe section.

Below is what I used for the tailpipe.

All seems to be working great still.
 
LJ is about to get the flux offroad aluminum treatment! Trying to plan a weekend to get this corner armor and tailgate skin on.

Also need opinions from the peanut gallery.

Spare tire delete or mount the spare. I like both and justify reasons for both. I run the morryde kit now and could delete that reinforcement plate on the tailgate after mounting this skin.

Are you running a third cat?
