Im trying to get my new hitch installed, almost had it all buttoned up but the hitch is squeezing the sides of my gas tank skid together so tomorrow I need to open up the mounting holes a bit. I removed the rear bumper to install the hitch, and decided to remove the end caps to. Found rust and Im in the process of cutting it out and priming it. I still want to get the flares on, even though I havnt been stopped by the authorities and I like the look of no flares, it would be nice to have flares to be considered legal in most states and to help deflect flying mud/rocks.

 

new tires for the jeep today. feels good to have an xj again

 

does anyone have a cheap catback system? or stock exhaust from the cat, back. lol

 

What tires did you/are you getting

 

Everyone talks about gettin stopped by the Police, I didnt realize it was such a big deal. Gl with your hitch

 

When did you get another xj?

 

the day before yesterday. only 125k! fron 1991.

im getting destination A/T's only 225/75 though.. :/ 31's are too expensive.

should've kept the tcase from the other jeep. it had FT 4x4, PT, and 4lo

 

ew, no. the 242 is the bad t-case as far as actually building anything up.. id much rather have the 231 with 2h, 4h, and 4lo.

too bad i dont live over there anymore or id make you come show me!!

 

i agree bro, 231 all day long

 

Its not a big deal other states it is but if you are legal in your state they can warn you that's it im way outside mine and never even been looked at in mo or ks

 

231 all the way

 

I have to disagree. The 242 is a good and strong tcase. Its a little bigger and heavier than the 231... but definitly not bad. It has a 2wd option and the full time 4x4 actually makes it better to drive on pavement in 4x4.

There is probably a little more aftermarket support for the 231... but plenty out there for the 242 still.

 

Find an sye that isn't going to cost you like twice as much for the 242 vs the 231.. it's just harder to find parts for.

 

the biggest thing about the 242 is that im used to having the full time option. Never go to firestone btw. somehow it took 4 hours to mount and balance two tires.

 

Ew. Sam's club is cheaper and they let me watch and direct the guy so it took like 30 minutes for 5 tires
