Novak Conversions Jeep Wrangler TJ radiator

What did you do to your TJ today?

Maybe do the heater core as well while you're in there, assuming it hasn't been already.*

* Edit: has occurred to me since posting that doing this may well be obvious, something I have an incredible grasp of... :D

Haha yes … I was thinking “ well, while I’m in there I may as well replace both”
It comes down to price and availability at the end of the day.
They are going to try and source both parts and let me know the price.
I will pull the dash myself to save some dollars and hand it back to them to gas up the AC, test for leak leaks etc
 
Decided to lay out my new Bestop roof in the garage… as the Jeep is getting worked on.
Really pleased to see no Bestop tramp stamp…🥳
Now if I can just time it right and get a day off when the sun is out I can get this thing fitted.View attachment 656119

North of the equator . . . the dryer is on the left, washer on the right. Clothing and shop rags go in together.
 
Took it out for some dirt therapy at the local orv park. Mostly sunny and mid 40s. I feel better now. 😀

You know the rules.

Removed the antenna mount, didn't use it anyway. Replaced it with this nice medallion I had laying around.

Was going to order another trail rated badge but I like what I have better.

Funny that, I yanked mine over a year ago for the very same reason and purchased a second badge to cover the spot (which I still haven't installed). I'm not yet worthy of the wizard's mark, I've only purchase skid plate nutserts to date. :D
 
Put the front driveshaft back in. For those that saw my other post about two weeks ago ended up taking the DS down to get it looked at and balanced. I had everything done correctly. The guy at shop told me he noticed the casting is off center. In the picture (circled in red) you can see that one side is narrow the other. This makes the the gap small. Said it’s been that way since it left the factory. I suppose the 3” lift makes it a little smaller but it hasn’t been a problem. @Shawn at Tom Wood's said it may have always been like this. Anyways all back together and took her for spin. Seems fine to me.

Cleaned her up a bit and went for quick drive…. Waved at a JL owner as I drove past one of the bays, 15 minutes later he pulled in behind me to talk ‘Jeep’ lol
He was originally from South Africa and owned 2 TJs….. he has since owned 2JK’s and now is lifted JL. (he wouldn’t let me take a photo of it though 🤔 )
