SeriousOffroad

Tom Woods offers a short shaft kit, it's around $400 with a $400 core

I've gor RE H&T's on my site.

you are going to have to do a hack n tap for the 242 unless you are made of money and can play the large amount for the SYE kit. i run the hack n tap on my 242 currently and it works great with no issues at all. i also beat the hell out of my jeep. just in a year i have rebuilt tcase 3 times. its on its 2nd front axle and 2nd rear axle. and a million driveshafts.

what is a better t case np242 or a np231 figured this was a good thread to ask on

XJ-92

i believe they are both just as strong but the differnce between them is the 231 has more of a market and the 242 has full time 4wd so you can use it in all weather conditions.

also i think that if you are an area that experiences all 4 seasons the 242 is better

wow thats the best awnser i have had i live in canada so i have all four weather conditions i have the np242 under my jeep. i havent ever seen a sye for a 242 ever and im sure it might be easier to do a hack-n-tap sye

yea it much easier to install from my experience

I went with the Tom Woods kit. The new tail shaft can be installed without pulling the entire t-case, but the rear half has to come off though. I'm sure it would be easier by pulling the whole case.

Then again, I rarely take the easy way out of things...
