Ok, I am confused!

As that is my normal state of everyday life and being a noob to the off-road life style I have 2 main questions:


1: What in the h@#$% is an SYE you are all always talking about and what does it do? is it worth the money ect...

and most importantly

2: Please provide a link if there is a thread which explains all the abrevieated jargon used on the site.


Thanks in advance....

SYE= slip yoke eliminator. with a certin amount of lif tyou can actually pull the slip yoke on the rear drive shaft our of the transfer case. this is bad! duh! what an sye does is just that. it removes the slip yoke in the tcase completely and makes it a fixed yoke connection to teh drive shaft. then you need to take your drive shaft to a shop and have it cut to the proper length for the lift and have them make it in to a drive shaft with a slip yoke like the front xj drive shaft.

if you loose the slip yoke on the trail from the t case you will dump your fluid and be stranded. if you loose the slip yoke out of the axel you can most likely put it back in on the trail amnd get home ok. its a life saver and usually is not needed until you pass 4 inches of lift. i am running 3.5 and i took off my xj slip yoke and put in a yj slip yoke b/c its a little longer giving the t case a little more bite. not perfect but it works on a tight budget.

Just did a search for abbreviations and found this:
