Slip Yoke discussion...

[matt2wheels]

So I'm under my Liberty the other day installing rock rails and got a good look at the NP xfer case that runs the same stupid slip yoke the Wrangler guys are always cursing. What a stupid stupid design, having the U joint that far out on a shaft is inherently weak. Anyone had problems with it and installed a Slip Yoke Eliminator kit? Or are we just not as abusive to our vehicles so it's not a worry?

I just hate bad engineering. This definitely qualifies.

In the 5 years the Liberty has been around, I have never heard of even one instance of a t-case or driveshaft failure. So I guess it works for us pretty well.

so then what you're saying is that we have a challenge? Good to know anyway...

JeepinAl over at LOST is working with Tom Woods on a slip yoke eliminator for the Liberty. He is also building his own custom 5" lift. That is why he needs the SYE. He's supposed to be working on the lift this week so he'll have more info on the SYE soon. Check out his website: www.jeepinbyal.com
