I need something to alleviate the driveline angles w/6.5" lift in my XJ. It is a DD which will run 33x10.5's stock HP30/8.25. The hack-n-tap is cheaper than the SYE kits and I just need a cheap way to have less shakes. The lift/tire/wheels etc has my ca$h tapped

Opinions are like a-holes....there's quite a few of them around these parts.

That said, you'll also find that the H+T is fairly forgiving of minor installation (hacking+tapping) errors, which makes it perfect for backyard installation. It's also relatively durable and comes with the added bennie of being pretty darn cheap. I had no problems with my H+T although the RE driveshaft was a problem: http://yuccaman.com/jeep/sye.html

I searched already and can not spend all day reading page after page of non-related stuff. I just thought that someone who has it would be nice enough to tell me about it as a fellow XJ'er. Sorry for using your valuable screen space.BTW Thanks Yuccaman.

What a drama queen.



Anyway, now that you are asking for opinions, I'll give you mine.
I made a H&T from scratch, for my 242, and couldn't be happier that it hasn't broken.
If there was such a thing as a HDSYE for the 242, I'd get it, just to be even more sure.

Here's the thread on that. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=38907

fixed yokes front and rear allow you to carry one spare... if lengths match.
