Default Which SYE?

Finally decided on going with an sye, but don't know which on to get. The two I'm leaning towards is Rough Country or Rusty's. Anyone run one of these or others?

I'm running Tom Woods' SYE. No problems yet.

I'm boycotting Rough Country, but Rusty's has excellent support I've heard.

Why are you boycotting RC? I've also heard great things about Rusty's.

I run a lot of Rustys gear but my SYE I got a super deal on for a Rugged Ridge special on eBay for $99 NIB only 3 of them and Pay Pal only. I bought it 5 mo. before I needed it but knew what I was going to do soon so far no problems and on for over 1 1/2 yrs. I think they are over double that retail and I knew nothing about them when I bought it other the price was enough to convince me to buy for that cheap.

Mine has been great. I made the mistake of loaning out my XJ once. They broke a rear drive shaft and messed up the yoke... AA sent me a new one free. Ive had no problems with it and still have no idea what those guys did but it snapped my Tom Woods DS in half.. a feat I have never been able to replicate (Also replaced for free)

i was told by just jeeps that AA actually makes the rugged ridge. makes sense.

Check out PORC, they have a good priced sye that's had a lot of good reviews as well.
