Re: Tera or JB Conversion SYE
Have no experiance with JB or Tera's SYE kit. I got my SYE kit from Tom with
my shaft for $400. It is not a super-short kit, it is the standard SYE and
standard cv shaft. The shaft slip-yoke is fully splined and booted, and came
with his custom u-joints. The SYE was easy to install and so far has served
me well. Whatever SYE you choose, if it has a flanged output, be sure to
loc-tite the t-case output flange to driveshaft flange bolts.
Not trying to be a jerk, but what is the purpose of a super-short shaft over
a standard custom driveshaft? The new custom shaft comes with a double
cardon top joint, if that helps.

Re: Tera or JB Conversion SYE
The super-short SYE kit provides for a slightly longer driveshaft which
on a vehicle like a Wrangler is always a good thing. Longer driveshafts
decrease the u-joint angles which reduces the vibration problem for tall
lifts. Shorter lifts really wouldn't benefit much from a super-short
SYE kit.

I realise that shorter lifts wouldn't really benefit much from a supershort
and thanks for explaining the difference. However, my logic was that for
$75 difference, I could get the super shorty and do the labour once. This
would make me ready for upgrading to higher suspension or belly-up kit when
I go to my next phase to upgrades. Just trying to build things so that they
would not have to be replaced every time I do something.
I think the additional advantage is that speedo can be electronically
calibrated to whatever I change my ratios and tyres to without having to
spend money on speedo gears.
Thanks

Re: Tera or JB Conversion SYE
How easily can it be done and what is the procedure for calibrating the
speedometer with that super-short kit TW? It's a real PITA for most
electronic speedometers as I am in the business and it's an ongoing
issue for those in my industry. We're left with expensive kits like
Hypertech for calibrating new speedometers which at $340 and up not
including labor, is always an issue for my customers. There has never
been a time when I didn't wish all of the trucks I have work done on
didn't have a simple speedometer gear so speedometer calibration could
once again be simple, quick, and inexpensive to do.
Is there a quick/simple/inexpensive way to calibrate the Jeep's
speedometer without spending major $$$ for things like the Truespeed
calibrator or Hypertech programmer? If there isn't, that would be
reason enough for me to stay with the standard non-super shorty SYE kit
like I have now which works fine for even very tall lifts (within reason
on "very tall").

speedometer with that super-short kit TW? It's a real PITA for most
electronic speedometers as I am in the business and it's an ongoing
issue for those in my industry. We're left with expensive kits like
Hypertech for calibrating new speedometers which at $340 and up not
including labor, is always an issue for my customers. There has never
been a time when I didn't wish all of the trucks I have work done on
didn't have a simple speedometer gear so speedometer calibration could
once again be simple, quick, and inexpensive to do.
Is there a quick/simple/inexpensive way to calibrate the Jeep's
speedometer without spending major $$$ for things like the Truespeed
calibrator or Hypertech programmer? If there isn't, that would be
reason enough for me to stay with the standard non-super shorty SYE kit
like I have now which works fine for even very tall lifts (within reason
on "very tall").
