To clear up a little confusion, the only SYE I see that rubicon Express offers for $100 bucks is #RE1807. This is just a "Hack-N-Tap" which is just what it implys, you hach off the output shaft at the t-case, then get a hand drill, and "try" to drill in the exact center of that shaft about two inches in. Then get a tap and chase the hole to add threads so you can bolt the flange to the shaft.
This is a good way to go but that SYE dosn't include the rear drive shaft, those cost around another $300 dollars. The stock rear drive shaft can't be used with an SYE set up, most SYE drive shafts use a cardan joint at the t-case and a slip shaft in the center with a u-joint at the pinion.
