Ahhh ok I just couldnt find a similar pic.. thank you sir!

 

So local AZ computer was wrong. No stock front brake lines in stock... damn.

Another question: if a line has a banjo bolt fitting measuring .375 like the XJ brake line, can on assume that the hose itself is the same diameter?

 

Maybe. Do they have YJ front hoses in stock? They're a longer version.

 

Are the quarter panels on a 96xj and a 98xj the same?

 

Rear? Yes

 

Yea rear. I keep finding different panels for sale, some being for the new style and other for older style. Wanted to make sure.

 

Maybe y'all remember me posting about my np242 jumping out of 4lo.
Well I adjusted the linkage and it's still doing it. It still feels like there's "throw" left in the lever when I pull it into 4lo. It feels like the lever itself stops and not the linkage shifter on the case. Either way i went wheeling yesterday to test out the new Detroit in the 8.8(locked all the way around is the best thing ever) (if I could keep it in 4x4 lol) well it was slipping out of 4 lo quite a bit. It seemed like once there was a heavy load on the front tires it would disengage 4x4 and just the rears would spin. Sometimes I heared a clicking at the case other times it was like I was in 2lo. Call me crazy. It at one point just my fronts were spinning and the rears weren't even spin...don't know how that's possible.
I'm about done with this 242.. Even though I spent WAY to much money just over a year ago to have it rebuilt. I'm thinking of getting a 231 from the yard, getting boost works linkage, throwing the h&t off my 242 on it and rebuilding it myself.
I read through a couple threads like this and I figure the case is toast.http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=929771
I pulled the top plug and stuck my finger in there, the fluid was still red and not metal.
Any more suggestions before I toss this 242 as off a cliff?
I'm finally getting a new truck soon so I can retire the jeep as a dd! Can't wait to actually be able to hear my thoughts driving above 50mph

 

I'm about 99% certain they're the same. Give a call to the folks at Classic2Current fabrication, they may know for certain.

 

x2. I've been talking to them a lot about my truck. They're good guys

 

Another quick question, are all pre 91 aw4s 21 spline output? I found a few 87-88-99 xjs 4 and 6 cylinder with 231s for a good price. I would love to save the hassle of changing inputs from my current 88s 21 spline output on the Aw4

 

People who know better than I say "yes"

Cool, thanks for the link

The cast tab that the joint cap rests against is broken off. Safe to run, or do I need a new yoke?

 

Picture:

 

If it stays centered it'll be fine. If the joint walks out to the side without the retaining tab you'll get some crazy vibes.
