Guess its time to found PT Barnum offroad
so I guess disintegration of components from vibes mean nothing? pinion bearings and t-case cases dont like vibes.who cares about vibes????? the real reason to do a SYE is to keep the fluid in the t case in the event of a break, also if you have an SYE you can carry a OEM front shaft for the front and rear, instead of carring two or being stranded when your tcase explodes from zero oil
I think Jeep solved that "keep the fluid in" problem in '96, O.P. has an '01.the real reason to do a SYE is to keep the fluid in the t case in the event of a break,

Since my T-case has a tail cone with a bearing at the end, I'll keep an open mind, and keep checking this thread for updates.
Now that we have established the model year, three of four trade mechanics responding to this thread agree that your dipstick will fall off.Interestingly enough, Brody on FR4x4 told me to ask your opinion about this DS regarding the questions some on these forums have raised.
Now that we have established the model year, three of four trade mechanics responding to this thread agree that your dipstick will fall off.Maybe it won't happen next week, but the slip yoke will add extra load to the end of the output shaft. Since I don't know how "other guys" have their Yotas and Chevies set up, or how those vehicles get used, I don't know how they are comparable to your 2001 XJ.
You'll have to forgive me for being slow. After realizing that your 2001 didn't have vibes until you installed coil spacers, I'm just now asking if you happened to pull the front shaft, and drive around to see if the vibes went away.
FWIW Englewood driveshaft will get my business.![]()
It's good to know that Bill has done several of these for XJs. If you don't mind my asking, how much money do you have in that shaft?
I have been running one for three years no problems what so ever... you will be fine don't listen to all the debbie downers who spent twice the money on and sye and a custom ds
Well Then. '01 you say. Beware. Sounds sketchy. That is a lot of unsupported weight slinging around.
Nice...looks heavy duty, i hope it works out good and lasts a long time!!! Keep us updated.
This sounded interesting at first but after finding out it was $350 there is no way i would ever buy that. A hack n tap is a hundred bucks and a front driveshaft can be found from $20-$50. You could have done that and had an extra $200 to spend on other jeep shit.
Glad to hear your happy with it. I consider monkeying around with a wrench on my jeep as one of my hobbies. So putting an sye in was fun to me. But if this does hold up good for you for a long time then I think it sounds like a good remedy for people with less free time and people who are not too comfortable pulling a transfer case out and apart. Good luck with it!
