Jeep wrangler Tj | Lj - DIY 231 Transfer Case Swap & Drop Delete + Driveshaft & Pinion Angle Setup

[@marcopellalenti4191]

Very interesting, congratulations. Could you tell me what benefits it brings to the car?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

A slip yoke eliminator kit shortens your transfer case, which then necessitates a longer driveshaft. A longer driveshaft means you'll have a flatter drivetrain angle, reducing vibrations and wear on drivetrain parts if your Jeep has an agressive lift installed.

[@rexracer7192]

Just installed a sye kit from Advance Adapters, with a Tom Woods custom driveshaft on my 98 XJ. Gotta say, its well worth the cost. This has to be one of the best mods for any lifted jeep!!!!

[@moemanm1202]

I love your videos. Very thorough and you show even the small steps

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thank you 🍻

[@JasterMereel421]

I was looking for videos on how to remove the transfer case and this is the best one that I found. Thanks!

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Awesome thanks for watching 🍻

[@kurtsterling9370]

Fantastic video. Makes a SYE install and adjustable controls arms much more understandable. THANK YOU!.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

It’s a lot of information, thank you for watching I appreciate it 🍻

[@seandunn8874]

I've said it once, I'll say it again. Your channel is so underrated. Easily my favorite Jeep channel.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thank you i appreciate it. 🍻

[@TheFlyingKiwi]

Hey thanks for the awesome video. I watched your video of the SYE install the other day so now I'm ready to order the SYE kit and new driveshaft. Your videos are super informative and very well filmed. It is people like you that have given me the confidence to carry out all the mechanical upgrades on my own TJ myself which has given me a huge amount of satisfaction over the last 10 years or so. Thanks.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Awesome, 👏 glad to help out any way I can. Thanks for watching. 🍻🍻

[@mattl1925]

Have left my jeep in the garage for a year after snapping an output shaft. Watched your previous video on the new output shaft install and now I feel way more confident in trying to fix it.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

It’s not a bad job , thanks for watching 🍻

[@troywise6636]

Thank you for your instructional videos dude. I couldn't have done my lift without you!!

[@cloucks1003]

Great job! Just did my SYE on an ‘03 sport, new control arms are coming tomorrow to adjust for pinion angle!!

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Sweet , thanks for watching 🍻

[@r1xterra855]

Thanks for a thorough explanation and install!

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

No problem 😉 thanks for watching

[@bingobandit]

Lock tite the upper control are treads.

[@beargibson3100]

I'm assuming you have the ax-15, the nv3550 seals on it's own output shaft.

[@The_punisher_8314]

Very good job Atem and Nice video

[@bradleytoth9997]

thank you been looking for a great video for the longest time to compare thoughts smiles

[@teng-yingchung7295]

7：40 is it necessary to apply gasket glue when connecting and installing the transfer case and gearbox? Thanks

[@dad3562]

Great job on the video! How’s that 4 inch sky jacket lift working out for you and off-road use? Those coils look really plush, how are they?

[@sewerratt47]

Excellent Depiction

[@willyg6545]

Great job on this video!!

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thank you 🍻

[@anthonypecoraro7738]

Would a 2.5 inch lift require a pinion and driveshaft alignment...? thanks nice vide

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Not necessarily with that lift , but I do suggest a minimum of 3/4” transfer case drop. Here is 1” and it’s good for up to 3” not the most conducive, but is an option. Best option is what you see here in this video for any size lift. 🍻amzn.to/48XTYrB

[@rhinowatches9738]

Hey nice set up and like all your videos. I’m new to all this and since I have a 03’ Wrangler tj that I plan on lifting I would want to do it the right way the way you did . So can you tell me where to buy the yok and new shaft . I feel that’s where I would want to start first before I even buy the 4” lift kit. Thanks and any advice that you feel would help would really appreciate it thanks 👍

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

This is the most conducive way for off-roading the tj. The best places to get the parts are adams driveshaft or Tom wood’s driveshaft, your going to want to install the lift first that way you can take the measurements for the driveshaft sizing. Thanks for watching 🍻

[@anthonypecoraro7738]

Would a 2.5 lift require realignment of pinion and driveshaft angle....thanks Nice job on the video, wish you lived in michigan would have you set up my jeep.

If I drop the transfer case 1" would I also need new transfer case linkage?Thanks so much @@ATEMOFFROAD

What brand of bottle jack adapter is that? Holding the drive shaft (or axles)

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

It’s a bottle jack buddy adapter. I keep one in every jeep. 🍻 link>>amzn.to/3vrqbI8

[@lyrigoyen]

Thank you for the video; both videos actually. I've seen a couple others but so far yours are better. I'm ready to do the same to my 2002 TJ. It came with a 4" lift with a transfer case drop. I bought the Advance Adapters SYE kit and planning to go with either Tom Wood's or Adams DC driveshaft. If you don't mind I have a couple of questions: 1. The shock relocation brackets; are those needed because of the axle's change in angle? 2. The gear oil that drains (@ 4:53), is that what is called "gear oil"? That goes in the transmission? 3. Did you have any issues with the gear shifter (inside the cabin)? 4. I'm assuming you had to remove both rear upper arms and then adjust the pinion angle? Or did you do one by one? Any suggestions for that step? Thanks again for the videos, these will be my guide when I'm doing my install.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Yes the relocation brackets are for when the axle is pointed up the coil buckets (mounts on axle) don’t hit the body of the shock! I have a manual transmission so it takes gear oil! If you have an automatic transmission you will need automatic transmission fluid most likely the same as what the transfer case accepts! No issues with the gear shifter after the t-case drop delete and back to factory setup! Watch my diy 4” lift video where I explained those issues with the shifter. And yes both upper arms come off then the pinion angle is set and the new adjustable arms are to be installed which lock in the correct pinion angles! Hope this helps and if you have anymore questions feel free to ask any time ! Thanks for watching

[@Gehqster]

@@ATEMOFFROAD so you have to weld new bracket on??

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@Gehqster no welding required

[@bingobandit]

I have an auto 1998 TJ 4.0 44 dana, my question after the install of your yock eliminator does the drive line provided fit, or do you need a custom driveline?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I bought the drive shaft and the slip yoke eliminator kit together from Adam’s driveshaft. There a second video that goes along with this one.

[@victorwest8041]

shouldn't you support the trans before dropping the skid plate?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Yes @ 3:09 see the bottle jack 🍻

[@lundysgarage]

Awesome video! thanks for posting this job.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Just trying to help, thanks for watching! Cheers

[@darinwingate7705]

What is the length of your rear driveshaft ?

[@michaelphillips1831]

Great video 👍🏻 SO I just finished my 4” lift on my 06 TJ and the transfer case sounds like a Bucket of Stones. Transfer case drop was also installed. HELP!!

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Yikes I’m not sure , did you have the transfer case taken apart?

[@michaelphillips1831]

@@ATEMOFFROAD LMAO…. I forgot the 2 spacers on the front of the skid plate. So the driveshaft was rubbing on it. Sounded bad 😂

[@teambluevideos949]

Do you need adjustable control arms to set the pinion angle?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Yes

[@douglasroberts2250]

your exhaust is up against the tub. Has that been a problem?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

It’s close but not touching, has never been a problem 🍻

[@bobblankenship9544]

Why did u remove the xfer case just to replace output housing?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Just my preferred method. It can be easily done with it in place

[@bobblankenship9544]

@@ATEMOFFROAD understand, no lift working on back would make more difficult, have 91 tj with the hummer body and 4" body lift and 6" suspension running 31's have had spider gear failure twice.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@bobblankenship9544 that’s an interesting setup, but yes anyway it’s easier on you. Sounds like you have a lot of room to work under there. 🍻

[@dustytrailscactusron]

Excellent!

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

[@johngeorge5836]

Were there jack stands under it while it was running in gear?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Always use Jack stands. Thanks for watching

[@conradsenior5843]

why delete the drop?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Clearance, and SYE Drive shaft. Much more conducive for off-roading. There’s a part two after this video. 🍻

[@andressalcido8965]

4hi or 4lo

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

I place in 4lo

[@robertsmall1003]

Did you use a super short sye or a longer one?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

This one is not the super short , I suppose that would decrease the driveshaft angle even more, thanks for watching ! Here’s the link www.adamsdriveshaftoffroad.com/sye-kit-driveshaft-packages-tj-xj-lj-yj/rough-trail-sye-kit-and-heavy-duty-1310-cv-driveshaft-package/

Yeah that’s why it was no big deal and the trip wasn’t far to the wood block, it really wasn’t that heavy so I put it in by hand 💪🏼lol 😂

[@AustinRyanBarrer]

I have adjustable upper control arms and I am having driveline vibrations. I saw you used a jack to adjust your pinion angle. Do I need to disconnect the adjustable control arms before doing this ?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Put a Jack under the pinion first then yes disconnect both upper arms frame side, then set your angles accordingly as I show in the video , then lock that setup down tight, while your there it’s a good idea to check ujoints and bushings on those arms too! Thanks for watching

[@AustinRyanBarrer]
