ZJ sway bar is a waste of money, just like the drag link.

Yeah. I love the 242. Wish I had one in my Comanche. Got all the stuff to do it. The 4.6 stroker has taken priority.

I've had both. 242s are alright I guess. I had mistaken the meanings of part/full-time when I first got it. Drove around on snowy road in part time. Never bothered me.

I also used full time when I took it wheeling. Never got stuck (I wasn't doing anything extreme though)

I'm a have an extra 242 soon. It'll probably end up on CL.

I'm looking to buy an 88 mj with re 5.5 lift and it's missing the front drive shaft. Do I need a custom or will a stock shaft work?
