Looks like before my rig leaves me i am going to HO swap my rig and put the 242 t case in it. Awd i think is a nice option to have on snowy roads intown.

Any one converted that lives near me. I want to see my rig off with a new power plant and a refreshed head. In return i can do some fabrication work or lend you help wrenching on yours some time. I have will send the head to a local shop near buy.

 

The np231 tc is the ideal tc.

 

i got a 242 trans and tc outta of 89 cherokee in my 92 cherokee its the same as a 231 unless your speaking of doing a zj trans and swap? or just zj tc with a aw4 trans?

 

I can do the hard ware part. Its installing the h.o harness that i figured i would need some help with.

 

Hooking the H.O harness to the Renix harness is a pain the ***, from what I've told.

 

Dude Really????? If you are going to do all of this hard work to upgrade your XJ. KEEP IT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Since jeeps are the most common vehical i wheel with. Doing this will educate me about the electronics and wiring. Id like to be handy when a fellow wheeler has a problem. I would like to be armed with a possible solution. I just wanna be handy when im out there.

I already made plans to buy anotger rig for the h.o and variouse parts. So just making good on a deal i said i would buy and not leaving the gent hanging because im switching.

 

I hear ya. Me an wiring don't mix. I get the basics but anything past that. I give up. Give me drive terrain, suspension anything else but wiring.

 

See its this reasin i want to learn it so when yur rig wont start ir some thin. If im there i can get ya going again hopfully. Or at least diagnose the part so you can get to a parts store come back and get on wheeling.

I hope to start in on this next weekend or during that following week.

 

So final plans are. While the engine is out. Go thru it. I plan to deck the block down and mill the head down. Would like to get close to 10:1. Going to run the renix head on the ho block with ho electronics and intake. Porting out the head. Small ports make torque down in the lower rpm. Then its going on the dyno at my old work. to see what the gain is over stock after the software is tuned. Mite take me a minute ive never epromed a jeep yet. Or decifered the maps out of the hex dump. Bla bla.

 

If you want to be handy learn to spell first.

If you are just getting rid of it to buy a rover why do all of this work? cut your ties with the Cherokee because you will get all the wiring educating you can get rewiring a rover.

 

Spellings pretty trivial. Im not so worried about it. I have papers for project development at work . Ill save it it for then.

After you've owned a few foreign cars wirings second nature. Not to mention working in a high end auto shop while going to school. Jags used to give me nite mares. I swear the same part if electronic in ine of tgem cars will fail a 100 diferent ways. They should have a sticker that say may catch fire when in use.

 

No being able to spell shows you at least payed attention in 1st grade.

 

Ifall you guys are going to do is flame my brother for wanting a differant brand of wheeling you might as well not even post, besides its always nice to have some friendly rivalry between differant brands on the trail

 

I think he is getting flamed so much because he's on a CHEROKEE forum and is kinda bashing on Xj's, So its only natural that people are going to give him hell for it.
