Default Doubler np242/np231

Hi. I tried to post at vendor forum but seems I'm not allowed.
Searched everywhere for a doubler for my np/242 couldn't find it. All are for np231.
I won't swap my np242 I love the part time fearure on it.
I can't also afford an atlas or rubicrawler.
Can someone help me who to contact in the US?
Building and selling it?
Thank you.

You want 231/242 or 231/231 or a 231/300?

242/300 won't work. Only way u can reduce the gearing while keeping the full time mode would be a 231/242 doubler.

You would need an adapter plate, a clocking ring, a spud shaft, and a secondary crossmember to support the second transfer case.

Then you gotta figure out the shifting linkage because the np231 ll have to be rotated 180 degrees.

What about using a underdrive box which works like a dioubler.Take a look at http://offroaddesign.com/catalog/Magnum%20Box.htm that bolts between your trans and t case and acts like a doubler.

That's too expensive for me. I saw some guys building and selling a diy crawler at 400-500 usd

A while ago I thought about a doubler. I did some research and found, because I have no access to free or cheap parts, that in the long run it was less expensive to get an Atlas II. XJwonder"s second post lists some of the parts that would be needed, not all. This is what I did; https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f67/at...lation-190099/

And the Atlas is stronger then most oem t cases and better ratios also,But the price is the reason a lot of us don't run one.

I'm thinking of an Atlas but my concern is shipping to my country and paying 20% customs and tax

Anything you order from the usa is gonna be pricey on shipping and tax
