Hello fellow jeepers.
I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction. I'd like to know where/who could help me out with a Slip Yoke Eliminator kit and what is the best way to go about it?
1. Should I order the complete kit with driveshaft and find someone who can install it?
2. Is there somewhere in Sydney that supplies and installs SYE kit with driveshaft?
thanks for your help

Eddy from A&J Auto, Blacktown can do it easy..
Second that. Eddy and Avi installed SYE and rear drive shaft on my 2005 TJ following the 2" lift, also upgraded control arms to adjustable ones. They did a great job.

Every jeep is different so best to give Avi a call on his mobile 0402 819 474 to discuss options.

Sorry did you purchase a "SYE kit" before hand or did they supply it?
I had been collecting bits and pieces over time as I built up cash and stock became available. Got the SYE and drive shaft from JeepKonnection. Control arms from SBR. Recall them sourcing other parts like u-joints, ball-joints, etc as they were wearing out. Parts for TJ can be scarce or need a wait of couple of weeks, so it is matter of calling around and planning accordingly. Although, Eddy & Avi can supply the whole thing too.
I got mine from this guy http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Teraflex-...cAAOSw6EhUPXxS and installed myself. Was a lot cheaper than buying locally, and am very happy with it. Only thing was they send the SYE first, and then after you install it and send them the measurments, they make your tailshaft and ship that later. My TJ was front wheel drive only for a few weeks. However, if you don't have the know how, I'd be sending the Jeep directly to Eddy and letting them organise it all.
I saw that too. Really keen on the super short shaft.Quote:

Was thinking the mega short shaft as it adds about an inch or two onto the rear shaft and decreases the angle.Quote:

Unless you've got a big lift with stock WB its not as much benefit as you might think.

Got a 2" old Man emu short arm suspension lift (adjustable uppers and lowers). I just ordered a belly up plate from Bud's custom in Brissy. So looking for a SYE and cv to finish the job. Read on forums people are happy with theirs and no problem with the electronic speedo converter (yeah an extra $100).Quote:

Personally I'd go regular HD SYE.
With the TT you really do want to do the MML regardless and there are benefits like the sump has better ground clearance.

I went the mega short shaft as well. Because the speedo gear is replaced with a pulse wheel I fitted one of these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HotRod-SG...YAAMXQ01tRSmlvQuote:

Couldn't be happier with the mega short kit. My old standard output shaft was bent, plus with 2.5" lift the shuddering I was getting especially on take off was unbearable. It's pretty close to perfect now.
