so i got to wondering.... jeep offers a RockTrac(NV 241 OR-rubicon editions) transfer case which houses a 4:1 low range and has the typical 2H-4H-N-4L shift pattern. It is compatible with the 3550 manual tranny that was offered in the 00-01 jeep cherokees and the stock NP231 xcase is compatible with that as well.

Both xcase have a passenger side drop with centered rear output and the standard 23 spline shafts with the 6 bolt pattern. The NVG241OR has a fixed yoke output and the 3 wire speed sensor. I wonder if i were to get ahold of one if it would bolt up in the cherokee.

Does anyone know?

they have aftermarket shifts and everything for it so i could utilize the XJ factory shift handle it i wanted. but noone has transferred it into a cherokee from what i know of.

so a little more research (always happen to stumble upon what i need after i post lol) and i found out that it is possible as long as my ax15 tranny has an "outy not an inny" lol

also that it is about $2000 for the upgrade if i do it myself and since i dont have an sye i will need new drive shafts. hmmm i guess time to check the JY for a totalled rubi.....

You will also need a 23 spline output shaft on the tranny too.

For the same price you can get an Atlas II with twin sticks and no chain to stretch. Rubi cases are way overpriced and overrated.
