33 Engineering/ SYE - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

AFAirman · 07-06-2010, 07:18 PM

I have been saving up some money for a while and want to put on a 33 engineering skid plate or at least a 2 part trans skid plate but can't find their web site. Is 33 still in business and if not are there any other 2 piece trans skid plates out there? Another question is when I install the slip yoke eliminator what else do I need to do? I just want to make sure I have all that I need before I start. Lastly does this website seam like the best way to go? Any help would be awesome...

Also If I put all this on and then want to upgrade to a 4" lift am I going to have to get another rear drive-shaft?

Thanks,

As far as I know I believe they went out of business about a year ago. I bought their skidplate used about 8 months ago and love it. I dont believe any other companies make a 2 piece skid

Reminds me of that old Levis commercial "Travis, you're a year too late."

Savvy Off Road has a two piece skid as in trans mount and then skid mounts to that. But they sell it as a complete kit with t-case skid, trans skid, oil pan skid and body and motor mount lift. As far as I know, right now they only have if for TJs with auto trans but the 5sp kit should not be far behind.

If you go the Savvy route you will need adjustable rear UCA at least.

So if I install the SYE on my 03 Wrangler what else do I need to get.

you will need a new drive shaft with a double cardian universal joint at the transfer case end. If you can get away with it, it is best to get the sye all set up and then measure for a custom drive shaft from tom woods or the like but i do believe they make cookiecutter shafts too if you want to order it all at once. also if you have any pucks or tranny drop kit on it you can dump them when the sye is in.
