After having some shifting issues recently, I bought the Novak system and installed today. All I can say is... WOW. What a difference!!
I agree 100%. Lifted or stock everybody should do this.

ive had a rough couple of days with the jeep... I've found a few spots of rust after i had my jeep flooded with about 2 inches of water after i left my windows open all night as it rained, and isn't predicted to stop for about 3 days, so now i have to deal with the smell of mildew and nasty carpet and a wet ass along with it.. as soon as it stops raining I'm taking the seats out, drying everything out, checking for rust, using that eastwood rust encapsulator and rust transformer to ensure everything is solid and replacing drain hole caps. but then today, what i thought was steam just coming off the hood actually turned out to be my engine/radiator. my radiator has a leak somewhere in it and I'm just going to go ahead and replace it afterr 150,000 miles. I'm a little pissed because this is my DD... oh well! gives me an excuse to work on the jeep! :) haha

any recommendations on radiator types and where to buy them? I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to radiators!

I would recommend Mishimoto all aluminum radiator. 100 direct fit bolt on, no plastic caps and no questions asked lifetime warranty. Some will argue to go stock.

Nothing yet, but........

today is a day off from the ol' salt mines, and I still have a lot of other chores like mow the grass, take the boys to Piano and Football, but I think I have just a few hours to work on the TJ. Hmmmmmmm.......... Maybe a trip to town to get a drill bit to drill 1/4" drain holes in the frame. I hope my little 3/8 drill will do the job.

I am soon going to learn how to take out my transmission...in the next couple of weekends and when I get the money to rebuild it. It bums me out..I might not get to snow bash this winter...
On another note, I will be painting my hardtop black!

Tuesday, replaced the exhaust system. The previous owner did a terrible weld job and made my life a living hell Tuesday but needless the say after 3 hours got it knocked out. Today I am replacing the front u-joints.
