bought a nice looking 1995 grand. problem is its all time 4 wheel drive. can i just get the regular transfer case and do a swap? i had the other transfer case in another 95 i had and had no trouble. but when i back up or try and turn to sharp i feel resistance in the one i currently have.

If you have the 5.9 v8 then you will not want to swap cases. too much torque and you can blow the rear end easy.

its got the good ol 4.0

Swap in a NP231j from the same year as your ZJ and you will be golden.

LOL who told you that? NP242J has a torque rating of 1486 ft-lbs, and a NP231J is rated at 1885 ft-lbs. i dont even think a monsterously built up 5.9 could make THAT much torque.

They run the 231 and the 242 behind supercharged 5.9 ZJs all the time with no problems.
