Tom Woods vs JE Reel vs Adams and which SYE?

We have high-lifts too..
Booo

I'm not afraid of it, I just don't like anything about it.

That’s fair. Mud is just unavoidable where we wheel. And where a large part of the world wheels.

For me its wondering if you'll make a crossing,that feeling when you know its going to pull through.
full throttle sends throwing gobs of mud 100ft. Drifting sideways and spinning donuts while the motor sings.

Its similar to any low traction environment like sand or snow.some guys like to full throttle their rig and throw it around. It just isn't the same with a car on the street.

Yeah i know i need to get those rubi lockers out before they leave me stranded driving like that...

No, I just budget $20 for the self-service car wash after every trip.

I spent $10 and had more than enough time to clean it all, today.

X2 for Tom woods and JB conversion super short SYE. It is a must if going for a flat tuck.

If that were Colorado, I wouldn't have gotten myself into this hobby to begin with.

For me its going to be Tom Wood every time and here's why. I place a value on service much like I do on a dollar. In fact sometimes I don't even care how much something is because I am getting value in service plus the part or item I order. Every single damn time I try to save a buck it bites me in the ass and I end up spending more.

I can relate to this %

This 100% is making me second guess that Rough Country SYE I just picked up NIB for <$100.

Odds are good that RC SYE is fine, they didn't make it.

Yep I agree..you are fine. It's someone else's product in a rough country box..for $100 you stole it

While I don't disagree with the sentiment, RC isn't known for hunting down the highest quality suppliers to buy parts from. There is a good selection of the Omix level of quality SYE kits out there and they are less than spectacular. However, it would have to be very crap quality to not be worth the 100.
