That's your opinion.
Don't go with the size and think big is better, that's Horse****.

 

lol

 

Not an opinion. Fact. Do some research. The 231 is a teeny bit stronger. That's all.

 

My rig is equipped with 231 and it has result to be way better than 242 here in Panama where we do mud.
Proven.
BTW, I modify 4x4's and also 20+ years experienced mechanic.

 

You realize that a 242 in PartTime performs just like a 231, right?

 

Yes, but it's not reliable as 231. For use as full time I rather go and find a Lada niva, full time 4WD, it's transfer case design, wich is a differential with a manual locker to send equal traction to both diffs, is the matrix where most of full time 4wd's vehicle manufacturers took it design and performance to build their own t-cases.

Whatever you may think, regardless the functionability and performance comparison between 231 and 242, I rather go on 231 for reliability and strenght before using a 242.

 

Did you just say that a Soviet vehicle is better than an XJ?

Now you're just trolling.

 

Oh, so now I get it.

It's your opinion and preference to use the 231.

Not fact, like you stated first off that the 231 was way stronger than the 242......

 

I never said it's better than an xj, I'm refering to it for the full time 4x4 drive system.

 

And it is, I broke one doing the same thing I've been doing with the 231, same road, same hills, It broke, 231 never has to.

 

lol....honestly man that really doeant mean much. If thats what you're banking your arguement on, then your argument doesnt really hold water.

 

They do make SYE's for the 242

Exactly

 

No worries dude, that's your opinion. I stay on what I've been doing and fixing in my rig.
Simple, want a stronger t-case, invest in adapters and Dana 20, 300 or even other NP model or even an atlas.

I stay with 231. No problems at all.
