Yea mine is working without a SYE just fine but I kind of kick myself in the *** for not just putting one in anyhow for the sake of knowing. Then again that would have cost me another $200+ for the kit so I guess when I need it I will do it.

Can't see anything. I had to try 3 different ways to upload wheeling pics from this past weekend on my build thread. I'm blaming the website

Really good looking build man. Could you describe the sound coming from your T case? I’m having some Sounds coming from mine too. It sounds like a slight grind, kinda like a brake dragging, but it’s not the brakes. I’m wondering if I’ve got some slack issues on my chain too
I know when mine was toast it was making popping noises when I put load on it such as trying to climb something. Normal driving I couldn't tell anything was wrong with it. 4wd low it was terrible but part time only when I put strain on it.

I’d say these new Bilsteins made a difference... will be setup for about 4” up and 12” or so down. Shocks aren’t maxed out yet in the pic either lol. Also picked up a factory swing gate I’m gonna try and make work for my uses on this build

Finally had a nice enough day on a day off to drive around in the Jeep. Definitly enjoying driving it again lol. Planning a trip out around the 12th, assuming I can find a trailer. Fingers crossed
