The 231 was available in the ZJ. This is your better option if you live in an area that does not get snow/ice. The fulltime is very nice in that type of climate.

I was going to say that the 242 probably won't be a better option if you live in say, Phoenix. But it sure is nice to have that advantage in snow covered mountain passes...

Between the two AWD cases???
It certainly has more options to it. But it much harder to find in a ZJ.
The 249 is eaiser to find, but you can't switch it out of AWD mode. So if you replace the VC with a new one, you are basically resetting the timer on the problem.
The 231 doesn't have a full-time option, but it is much easier to find. It also has a great deal of aftermarket support. Which if you want to go nuts with a project is a big bonus.
