Novak Conversions Jeep Wrangler TJ engine mounts

California Sold

Looks like a deal. Good luck with sale. $18k in parts....

Seats look mint, are they original?
 
1998 TJ, 147K miles on odometer, I am the third owner by title, but the second owner just parked it.

Blaine Custom Build – everything you need – everything done right – all the little details you would expect from a Blaine build. Originally built for Robert Yates (friend of Blaine’s) – I’ve included the build link from Jeepforum. Jeep runs strong, drives perfect, stops on a dime, and will do any trail you would want to do (and has probably already done them). Not cosmetically perfect, scratches, minor hood dent, paint crazing on hood, etc.

Nice Jeep. Agree with other posts that price is more than fair for an excellent turn key TJ. Question re T-case: Ad says 231 4:1?

it was built by the guy that does it right every time.
Sortof. In a moment of weakness, Robert let Stu talk him into that Toys by Troy suspension nonsense and due to time and money constraints, we fixed it up as best we could without completely starting over and gutting the entire suspension out from under it. I would never use a rear truss like that otherwise. We did however, manage to get it a whole bunch better than it was.
 
Very nice Jeep, good luck with the sale. Lets see some more pics of that GNX parked in front of it!
