Novak Conversions Jeep Wrangler TJ engine mounts

What did you do to your TJ today?

Wait till y'all meet Kiwi TJ in person on one of his trips to the USA and learn that he's actually 6'10" and doesn't like people joking about his height... :ROFLMAO:

Then this rental Jeep must have had a huge lift..........

For the investment of five hockey pucks and six fender washers my tailgate FINALLY doesn’t rattle. A previous owner swapped wheels and tires and the backspacing was far enough from stock that the spare tire never made contact with any of the tailgate or lower body bumpers.

Now it makes contact at all five points and nothing rattles while I drive down the road. I’m planning on cutting some rubber matting to replace the fender washers I used on the upper mounts. I hate half-finished projects. Who knows how many years that spare tire spent trying to break the mount off of the tailgate.

Drove it…needed to balance out my trip to London where the hot water handle in my shower had a warning that the hot water might be hot, and last time I was yelled at by the office manager for plugging in a power strip without the proper electrical connection training.

Oh, that reminds me. My last employer suddenly put out a "pseudo rule" that we weren't allowed to change fluorescent tubes - and I had some idiot on the safety committee tell me that I wasn't "electrically qualified". I hit the roof, and went and raised holy hell in HR. I designed a 1,600 volt control system (at this outfit) and I'd been doing house wiring stuff since I was about 12 years old. You do NOT get to tell ME that I'm not "electrically qualified"!!
