Pressure washed all the Elbe mud off from the weekend.. Nothing broke this time around and didn't get stuck. I did however slip the drive line out, Fd up my bumper and took it swimming a couple times. Ran all the trails backwards, feels like the trails keep getting easier every time we go on a run.

I like that SYE. I'd like to do that to mine someday. I don't need one with the small lift I have, but I think it's a better setup than what they came with.

If you ever break your shaft on the trail its nice to have so you dont loose fluid when you remove your shaft.

It's worth doing even if you're not lifted high up in the air. It is an upgrade in strength as well as reliability when you consider the drive shaft as well.

Shackle relocation brackets are in, passenger side was a real pain so it took me about 3 hours to get both sides done...lol


I've still got axle shims to install, a T-Case to put back in, new shift linkage to install for the T-Case (should be here in the next few days), then the new drive shaft, and finally the removable mud-flaps. Dad and I will be making a trip to the to the Naches area on the 12th so I've got to get this thing back together by this weekend, that way I can get some drive time in before our first trip with this beast!
