I am planing on putting in a SYE for my 95 XJ with 6.5 lift.

My question is if there is a stock shaft(from which car?) that I can just put in without any major mods.

Also any other relevant info or tips that might help me in the process.

 

I have the Iron Rock Off-road hack n tap sye on mine with a 6" lift and a factory front driveshaft works fine.

 

I have Iron Rock Off-road hack n tap sye on mine with a 4.5" lift and a factory front driveshaft , It's nice now I have the same drive shaft front and rear so I only need one spare .

 

I dont know but hacking and tapping sounds like more work than installing the actual SYE, plus If i was to buy from IRO it would cost me $100 plus id need the drill bits and tap which they sell for $20 plus the drill jig which is $35. Thats $155 when I can get a SYE kit for 180 from amazon.

I dont know, am I missing something?

Please advice.

 

please see below

 

Go to you tube and there videos on how to install it .you will see it is very easy I have the a tap and die set and dills .and all the tools needed to do the job .

 

i have done that already, but still does not look like the SYE kit is too much work thou and for almost the same money.

 

It only took me about 45 minutes to install mine .

 

depends on the transfer case. a 231 can use an install SYE, whereas a 242 has to be a hack n tap.

as for yours, like mentioned, you should be able to get away with using a stock front driveshaft from an automatic XJ

 

So this is a hack n tap and not an SYE?

I came across this in my travels and thought it was a real SYE.

 

This is your hack and tap.

Ok, that means that id have to change shafts either way right?
what benefits would a hack n tap give over the sye?>

 

They both eliminate the slip yoke, the hack n tap is a cheaper way of doing and you don't have to take your transfer case apart to install it. The full SYE kit gives you a bigger output shaft, but output shaft failures aren't common, even with the stock output.

 

nope, i stand corrected. that is an actual SYE. they are/were rare for a 242, but it seems that is a rather expensive kit for the 242. and yes, you need to swap out the shaft with the use of that kit, but it's a much better design than a hack n tap.
