sorry this might be a stupid question but do i need to pull off my T.C. to install the S.Y.E. or can i do it with all under the truck

 

either way there plenty of write ups on the net...

 

I've done it both ways. As stated before there's plenty of write ups about both.
My opinion; drop it out and give everything a good cleaning. Rugged ridge has a nice super short kit with excellent instruction. Good luck

 

I got curious enough to take a look, I might as well post one I found.

That's what's called a hack-n-tap SYE. In the write up he's already taking it apart, so why not go with a true SYE?

Do me a favor and google adams driveshaft. They're in Utah. I ordered a new shaft with a super short SYE from them. 3 days later I had the SYE installed. Then I measured, called them up and told them what I got. Within 6 days awesome new driveshaft was at my door complete with u-joints. Fit perfect. That's Utah to PA too!

 

dont get why they removed the trans to do a hack and tap???

 

I think he just broke it apart without removing it.

When I did our first hack, we idled the jeep in drive and used a circ saw with abrasive blade to cut it down. Never did open that one up. It was a rubicon express kit. In the end cost more than Adams kit with SYE. Just different labor.

 

I'll post a pic of the new shaft and SYE when I get home this morning.

 

Really not all that difficult. Real nice setup.

 

thats the one i got i just wasn't sure how to go about the install but yeah most def going to take your advice and just drop it and clean it all up

THANKS EVERYONE FOE THE FEED BACK

 

Good luck with the job. Couple things to help: long extension ( I mean long ) with swivel socket for the upper bolts. And make sure you have the right snap ring pliers.
Feel free to ask questions. Lot of guys on here have done it.

 

you weren't kidding on the extensions lol
