Default Look what I bought!!

I just picked it up about 30 minutes ago off of ebay. (Boy, I am already started to like this divorced thing... don't have to ask for permission anymore!!) The guy said it has everything needed to do the conversion except the axle (which I am going to use an axle from a grand cherokee front end. Any suggestions on install? I have read a few write-ups on it and it seems pretty straight forward.

What am I going to need for tools (other than beer)...

A link to the ebay site: www.ebay.com

I already purchased it, I don't like "bidding" so I just took the BIN... about $16 more than I wanted to spend but I figured good deal and can take the $80 bucks saved and put it towards something else (like new grand cherokee seats or something...

Oh, you wanted to link to the actual item... well, the item number was: 110386277243 if that helps

Sadly I just found he posted the setup on jeepforum.com for about 30 bucks cheaper

Ya, I actually emailed Eric (the seller of that housing) because GO JEEP mentioned him personally. But he couldn't give me any leads on the yoke so I decided to hold off on getting it (glad I did)

It was $100 plus $16 shipping. Unfortunately after I purchased it I noticed he had listed it on jeepforum.com for only $90 shipped... oh well

Patience sucks!!

I actually waited a LONG time to find something like this. I really wanted a real SYE but figured if I break anything it would probably break w a sye anyways

Seriously, in CO I used to be able to get used Jeep parts for SO cheap!! I bet you could find someone getting rid of a 231 with a sye for almost nothing. You know those CO guys are the craziest when it comes to jeep mods!! Call the local 4wd shops and see if they know anyone who just went atlas or something. Most of those guys are just dying to get rid of stuff... their garages are too full with useful stuff like spare D60's or rockwells...
