Hey Mike - i remember speaking with you last year about some drivetrain issues - some new sensors in he trany and reman'd computer fixed the problem.

My newest question is - I'm replacing the 249 transfer case with a 242 - what year 242 can i get - knowing i'll have to swap the input shafts. can i put a newer 242 in? did they every change the TC housing, and if it comes off an AW4 transmission it should still bolt on the 42RE?

i'll ask around - but any input would be great

hey have you checked out marks site yet it is here click

i was just checkin out yer XJ. looks great bro!

it depends on your tires I have 31" tall tires and if the fenders weren't trimmed they would rub

Mike, right now I have stock jeep wheels on my Cherokee. I put a 3 in lift on it and I want to bring the tires out a bit. If I put them on an 8in rim with 3.75" backspacing will they stick out too far? Right now it looks like you can tip over my jeep. lol. Thanks

my lift is 3.5 and I have the 8.8 the TC drop worked but I dint want it so I had a CV added to my DS but its still a slip yoke and it works grate
I had to change the angle of the pinion 5deg for the CV shaft to work

what size lift and tires do you have? I just ordered a 6.5" RC lift for my 91. I'm curious if the cv joint will work for me as opposed to the sye? How much and where did u get it from?

hey mike,
nice xj -i have a 91 too. i saw your 242 sye pic, i would like to know
about it and how you did it, when you get a chance. thanks Mark
