yep theya re perfect..gives me a good enough idea of how it mounts that I can mount it myself.. Thanks for the info 89xjgrey..now to get the needed bolts and nuts and tap and be done..

 

Yeah post up some pics when you install yours OKC. I have a 242 also but the skid I have needs to be altered as it is for a 231. I have no nuts in the frame rail either but can fish one into the hollow rail. But I doubt I have clearance to the bottom corner of the 242 without some alteration.

 

Blue I will post em up in my build thread once I get it cleaned up and installed.I am going to look at doing it this weekend..

 

Is your for a 242 or are you going to have to mod a 231 skid to work?

 

Nah mine is a 242 and the 89 or 90 XJ it came from was a 242..So no modding needed as far as I can see..looks like it will bolt right up just have to drill and tap and such...

 

The skid plate works for both the 231 and 242. The design of the skid plate did not change. I have it on mine now with a 242.

 

I may hold off until I put the lift on to make sure I don't need a tc-drop till I can do an SYE...Don't want to get the thing all bolted up and then find out that I can't run it if I have to use a tc drop temporarily...

 

You can still run it with a t-case drop. You just have to bend it down some or drop the frame side the same amount as you drop the t-case using LARGE nuts or washers as spacers.

 

oh but they are different i know cause i bought one(231 skid) thinkin they were the same but the 242 one has more of a bend in it

so now i have a 231 stock skid that is impossible to sell.....go figure no one wants stock skids its better then nothin
