Default NP242 and SYE... Looking for info

Hi all, I was looking into getting a SYE for my 94 sport so I could eliminate the drop when I did the 4" lift. When about to get the parts; found out not compatible with the NP242 T-Case. The parts guys said he knew of only one SYE for the NP242 and that it was junk and would not recommend it.

In looking around further; I have found a Hack & Tap type from Rubicon Express and Tom Woods.

What is anyone else’s experience with SYE for the NP242? Anyone done it? What did you use?

I have the HnT from RE and it has worked flawlessly for me. Mostly trails and some mud. Never had it on any big rocks. I was scared while putting it on but I got it done and now have no regrets.

The Hack-n-Tap is good just take your time doing it. They hold up well.. And you can even make your life easier and pull it apart and have a local machine shop hack and tap it to make sure it's on center..

You change the tailcone and cut the output shaft(Hack) and you need to then drill and put threads in the hole (Tap) thus, Hackn Tap.
