Novak Conversions Jeep Wrangler TJ engine mounts

2024 JL-R-X > 2025 Gladdy and now A TJ-R

It was also my fav trail it's a very technical. trail. When I led runs at Moab it the last trail of the week. Most of the guys that signed have never run P Canyon at all in fact, most were scared of it. That is why I left it for last day there. You need to pick the right lines. When you signed up for runs they were all 7++ trails.

Often I would go to Moab by myself and would run P Canyon forwards and backward in the same day. I could not do that when I had a group. My rules were I was the only spotter and the only guy with a winch. WHY? I have seen a lot of spotters get some folks in REAL trouble. This is because they cannot identify the line, lots of jeep rollovers come from spotters. I know how to spot the line, you don't just drive up to a spot and try to get over hoping Billy Bob can spot your over and he does not even own a Jeep!

Winching: I have seen some get killed, leg cut off just below the knee, hands and fingers mangled!

So I used this for teaching points! Where did I learn? The Army. I was out there and I always had a Jeep and there no marked trails, you got to learn how to read the terrain...been Jeeping for as long as I have had a drivers license and I have jeeped all over the world.

I LOVE P Canyon, lots of fun do it alone and never pull a strap, winch line and spot yourself...

Knowing the lines is the key to that trail.

Sounds like a problem better addressed with shocks and actual jounces. Fortunately I know a few things about suspension.

Do understand that I am baiting you to keep defending silly things with long explanations. 🤣

LOL, sure, you can bait all you want...so tell me about your racing days and how you built your Jeeps back in the early 60s, I love hearing you old-timers talk about those days, me too...

I refuse to build my TJ the way you built your Jeeps and drag cars back in the 1960s. 😉

LOL: Lets see from 65-67 I won every race but 1!

My TJ, went almost 100k miles over 10 years and NEVER failed, broke and was denied a trail wheeling 100% of the time across the SW and Mexico. I never BROKE, I drove to every trail, no trailer, I ran the hardest of trails 7++ and I was never denied success.

You have NO idea how I engineer things, but my Jeep worked 100% of the time because I engineered it to work.

It takes 2 things to wheel successfully: A properly engineered Jeep and the ability to drive at the Jeeps capability...I can do both!
