Cherokee XJ NP241OR 4:1 Rubicon Install

I was able to score a 2006 Rubicon 241OR for $600 and now I'm debating on installing it in to the XJ

I can't find much on the install.. Any pointers out there?

Pretty much a direct swap, especially if you have a TC drop kit installed. Otherwise you'll need to do some opening-up of the transmission tunnel or the case will rattle against it. Pretty easy to do. You'll also need the magnetic speedo sensor http://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/air...d+sensor,10634

The plug is the same as on your XJ and should plug right into it. It isn't adjustable, so you'll want to run 35's to get the correct mileage.
