I'm a Chicken

[ocTJ]

So I have just a ton of parts to throw at the jeep.. Body lift, SYE, TW Shaft adjustable front track bar rear drop bracket new coil springs and gas tank skid... And I just couldn't bring myself to crack it open this weekend. Mechanically I am fairly good but this is a bit of a new world.

First thing I suppose is first. How difficult is a SYE eliminator too install and what are the odds of boning it up?

Maybe try the body lift & gas skid to boost the confidence & give you time do research for the sye.

[COLOR="Blue"]The only thing that is technical is the SYE. Call a trans or 4X shop for a price to install it. The rest you really can't mess up to bad.[/COLOR]

If you're mechanically inclined, the SYE isn't too hard. Just take your time, and follow directions.

I did mine myself without pulling the xfer case (just getting under the Jeep) using these directions.

Thanks!! I priced out an install and they want 335$ to install a SYE

I almost laughed when he told me that over the phone that's as much as I paid, well almost I got a screamin deal, Mater awesome on those directions thanks!!

I did mine myself using the write-up that Mat posted. It was the first time I'd done anything that major on a vehicle and it went pretty smoothly. It sounds more difficult than it actually is.

When are you planning on doing it? I may be able to offer some help depending on what day.

I was thinking of doing the SYE and the lift this weekend.

I was thinking of doing the SYE and the lift this weekend.

OK. Both my kids are playing in baseball tourneys this weekend. One doesn't play on saturday, but the other one does. We'll find out times tomorrow night. If I can find some time in there I'd be glad to help. If nothing else, I can be an extra set of hands for a little while if you'd like.

[ocTJ]

Can't tell you how much I would appreciate it! Pizza Beer whatever you like let me know in advance and I'll have some ready for you.. I have a TON of stuff I'm trying to get done this weekend.

Damn Matt! That is a good writeup! I did mine using the tera instructions which was an exploded diagram, and some text essentially saying: take it apart and put it back together substituting new main shaft and speedo drive gear.

One suggestion: Get an old towel and take the main apart on that, keeps it cleaner, and you can lay everything out very logically.

[ocTJ]

that makes sense.. Yeah Advanced Adapters should pay him well for that write up and use in in their own instructions

[2blk2drs]

also you will need a set of snap-ring pliers, and lock ring pliers. They had both at my local Sears

[ocTJ]

Yeah I found the snap rings pliers saturday I'm going to go invest in a torque wrench... that won't be cheap. Anyone free on Sunday? Saturday? Monday? Yeah I know it's the party weekend which is why i'm keeping it low key

[4xfiend]

I found out the kids' schedules, and I'll be free on saturday morning until about noon. Let me know what time you want to start and where to be and I'll be there. I have a torque wrench and can bring some other tools, too.

[ocTJ]

lol Saturday I work until Noon sunday I'm off all day. That would be great if you could. Other than a gear puller I have everything else I need.
