lol. :)

nice jeep tho

dont think he has done ratios tho.. or SYE, so needs some more $$$ spent

[JRJ33P]

obviously more money then brains....


i dont know why you would buy a brand new vehicle, do all that to it and then sell it coz you gotta pi$$ off outta the country....

would still be a very cheap buy tho for $32 500 given how much has been spent on it....

it is for sale here as well as it is a forum members jeep

Jk's don't need a SYE thats a TJ thing

Even on a 2 door??

anyway, i have heard that... but they still need ratio update with 35s.. unless you bought the rubicon that is

they already have a slip yoke type drive shaft and you can get up grade style ones

All 4wds have a slip yoke in their rear drive shaft, keeps the shaft long enough when articulating, so traction is applied to the ground..

Someone explained this alot better than what i can, but a Slip yoke Eliminator, changes the position of the slip yoke from the rear drive shaft (up and down movement) which bends and brakes easily when lifted)

to horizontal, inside the transfer case, alot stronger... but yeh, i think someone might have to re explain that lol

I thought JK's didn't need SYE's

Correct - They don't need one.

No they do not have a SYE - they have a CV not a yoke (neither fixed nor slip) ;)

Not ALL 4wd (or cars) have Slip Yokes.
All drivelines require a "slip" of some description.
For most cars and many 4wd drivelines the "slip" will be in the CV.
For many 4wds there is a fixed yoke or flange and the "slip" is in the tailshaft.
Then for the remained you have the Slip Yoke we've all come to love, where the yoke isn't bolted in place but slides along the output shaft .

But back to JK's - CV's are still a weakness and upgrading to a double cardan tailshaft is still a good idea.

Clear as mud? ;)

This is off topic but that is so confusing I'll try and help ;)

This is a slip yoke, the splined section goes over the output shaft on the transfercase and is able to slip backwards and forwards over it, this allows the effective extension of the driveshaft that you mentioned. The slip yoke sucks especially with bigger lifts as you get less output shaft inserted in the yoke splines and therefore more leverage on the output shaft and a good chance of bending or snapping it.

This is a slip yoke eliminator for a NP242 (mine actually) it replaces the slip yoke with a flange for the driveshaft to bolt to. The flange slides on to the output shaft (after it is shortened in this case) and is then bolted on through the end of it. Some replace the whole output shaft with a thicker shorter one etc but essentially they all do the same thing.

This is a new driveshaft with a slip JOINT not a slip yoke. The slip joint is in the body of the shaft and allows it to extend and compress as the suspension cycles :)

This is a JK CV shaft, the CV is not as strong as the Uni's shown in the pic above it.

Hope that helps :)

definately.. thanks for a detailed explanation, pictures paint 1000 words as they say.

cheers..

great post Steve! Learnt a things about the SYE Ive already got.
