Default NP241 Rock-Trac vs. SYE
I've read that you can swap an NP241 Rock-Trac from a Wrangler TJ Rubicon for the NP231 XJ T-case. This would provide a 4:1 low range (vs. 2.71:1) and it has a fixed yoke, so I don't need SYE when I lift my '96. I've read that it is "almost" a direct swap - not sure what "almost" means in this case...

Any feedback on this?
