Novak Conversions Jeep Wrangler TJ engine mounts

What did you do to your TJ today?

I haven't installed them on BB yet, but will be soon.

I didn't buy anything from them, just gave an honest review of their website and got these in the mail!!!!!!

The restoration continues...

New spring, isolator, bump stop, upper and lower control arms on the front driver's side. The bump stop cup is a project for another day.

I was planning on doing both sides, but getting that upper control arm bushing in kicked my @$$, so I called it a day, and spent the holiday afternoon with friends.

Plus, the obligatory knuckle buster. This one was bad.

Looks like that thumbnail was removed in the recent past.

Go my refrigerator mounted and wired in. The Yeti cooler mounts do a good job of keeping it from moving up and down but not side to side. That's probably my fault, maybe need to move the mounts to the opposite edges of the handles.

The fridge was able to cool from 85°F to 40°F in about 15-minutes.

Installed a Rough Country chase light. It has parking light, brake, chase, reverse, and a license plate lights. I want to use the license plate light function as a cargo area light, but I figured out that the TJ switches the dome lights on the ground leg. Now I got to figure out the wiring to make that work since the ground is common in this light. I am only using the reverse and brake light feature. I don't have a switch for the chase light and didn't want the parking light.

I just have to remount my amp. It's going to get mounted to the driver rear floor board. I've just got to decide it I will screw it directly into the floor or some other way.
 
Working towards getting a Savvy short arm kit installed to replace the blown unknown brand I had. Probably a dumb question, but do Johnny Joints come pre-greased, or should I be pumping them full post-install?

The nipple on the joint has grease, but I've heard people saying it's worth it to regrease them with something better.

The bolts come with one in the head that you should grease as well.
 
If there is one thing that just annoys me, like nails on a chalkboard, is the buzzer up in the dash. Had a new scheme on how to silence it better than the tape I placed over it. A dab of silicon. Pulled the kick panel, and did a reach around with a dab of RTV into the speaker…just like I was a proctologist. Makes almost no noise now….much, much better.

I haven’t bought a lot from them but their JK brass transfer case is awesome. The stock is some stupid plastic piece. Left my kid stuck in 4lo and me laying under snowy / muddy Jeep trying to get back into 2wd. Of course haven’t bought them for the wife’s JK so may end up in the same situation 😳

@John Cooper I suggests you get a set to upgrade your newly acquired toy 😀.
