SYE for NV242???

I'm having a hard time finding one, whats up with that? Please tell me they make one.

My question is why do you need one? The rear driveshaft is long enough on WJ's that its not necessary unless you go above 6.5" of lift.

And I don't really know the difference, but my TC is labeled NP242

NP/NV - same thing...Tom Woods sells a SYE for the 242 for $500 ($400 core charge returned upon receipt). I'll be ordering one here in the next month or so...

I thought the NP was on the ZJ's and XJ's??? I've always thought it's a good idea to have one even at a 4" lift. Leaks, vibration, snap u-joints?

So it only ends up costing you $100 when its all said and done? Or its $900 up front, and $500 in the end?

Whats the point? I haven't heard of anyone needing an SYE on the WJ's...what are the benefits to justify the cost? Thanks

if you break a u joint in your rear driveshaft right now, your transfer case will leak all its fluid after you remove it and have to drive.

If its only 100 I think thats well worth the cost and will def be an edition to my WJ as I build

The SYE Kit & shaft cost $500.00 + s/h. plus you have to install the reworked shaft in the T/C
Just put in atlas instead....saw one today at local 4X4 shop, that things huge...//would it fit in a WJ ???
At 6" of lift I have alot of noise at 50mph+, I just removed front shaft to be reworked, hopefully with both shafts in I can keep the radio not near MAX anymore
