skidoo_j Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Who would have thought such a product would be such a pain in the @$$ to get honest answers. It seems every manufacture out there sells one with their name on it, problem is they all look the same and it's been mentioned they come with identical directions with different logos. So I question it. Lets see the following companies "make" and SYE for a 231. Omix Ada Advanced Adapters Rugged Ridge JbConversion Teraflex balistic offroad tom woods ... ... So omix ada and rugged ridge are the same company. And both ship in a white box with the same part number. Where it gets confusing is Advanced adapters whose regarded so highly is shipping them in the same boxes. When i called them they said oh RR copied ours, and we're to a higher standard, but would not out right say we get them from the same place now. Infact many forums and people who have installed all three claim they're identical castings, identical shafts and state advanced adapters makes them for omix. Teraflex responded or RR copied ours we were the first. But theirs also ships in this box and looks identical. And we all source from the best priced places. Then said "watch out for companies that claim to seal their aluminum casts" Jbconversion claims ours is the same since 1994. Everyones been copied and look close but ours is the original and we've not changed at all. Tom woods is a hack and tap. SO the questions: WHO CREATED THE SYE FIRST? WHO ACTUALLY MAKES THE SYE KITS BEING SOLD? WHY DOES EVERY MANUFACTURE CLAIM THEY INVENTED IT? WHAT SYE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I got mine from Dirtbound Offroad, which looks like IRO's kit, which probably looks like all the others. http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/featured/slip-yoke-eliminator-hd-yoke-style-by-dirtbound-offroad/ http://ironrockoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=IROR&Product_Code=IR-XHNT&Category_Code=XDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Eagle do you think JB conversion's Partial rebuild kit is worth 200 vs the G2 kit? the np231 bearings and seals For $200 for a partial rebuild kit, it's cheaper to go to the junk yard and buy a whole other transfer case.
