SYE, Who's?

Urban Redneck · Mar 28, 2004

Looks like I'm going to have to go with a SYE in the not too distant future. Looking around I see one's by RE, Atlas, Tom Wood's and others. Who's is good, fair, damn good and junk? Trying to get some research done before I have to order it.

this is for a 231 im guessing?

lesslimited · Mar 29, 2004

Well, I'm happy with my RE hack-n-tap. It's held up fine thru some pretty serious wheeling, and was fairly easy to install. Of course, since I have the 242, there were not a lot of other options for me.

You can't go wrong with the JB Conversion that Tom Woods has with his shafts.

GottaBeJeep · Mar 29, 2004

For a 96+ XJ, the RE hack and tap is a great kit for a great price. Easy to install as well.

Yeah for the 231.

This is the one I've had for a few years...

No vibes, heavy duty, bigger-stronger shaft, swap it in and forget about it!

Spend the extra dough for piece of mind....

if you're going with a stock strength shaft i'd save some $$$ and get the RE h-n-t for $80.

if you don't do that i think you should get one with a HD output shaft. i can't really see any reason the spend the big money on tom woods stock strength shaft when rusty's has AA HD SYE for $200 and JB conversions has their HD SYE on sale for $200.

btraysxj · Mar 30, 2004

I bought mine through 4x4Groupbuy.com, they have a great deal on the Advance Adapters SYE with a Tom Wood's custom shaft.

there's a pic of the novak piece in the april jp magazine.

evilpresence · Mar 30, 2004

I just put in the JB Conversions Super Short SYE and it was easy as shit with the exception of a bolt that required a 10mm 12sided socket. I even left my t-case in. If it wasn't for that bolt, the time spent on the swap would have been about 1.5 hours with no previous experience on something like this job.

I also have a custom A1 Driveshaft (Baltimore) but that is because they are local and this is my DD. Waiting for a TWs wouldn't have worked.

Here are a few pics:

Just tell him. If there's a problem, tell him I'll be happy to look up membership status if need be. Any of us would, in the Intermountain Chapter. Our Chapter Pres (XJEEPER) , and others, drop by now and then, to see him, can ask them, as well.

SYE, Who's?
