Lived life in the edge:



Yes, I know..."E" is for empty, not 'enough'. Although I kinda proved it was enough tonight! ;-)

No problem

I said it was trickier than the 231. I agree the 231 was a no brainer, grab the handle in and out no problem. The 242 isn't as precise. Have to have the right speed, let off the throttle, shift and then you still have to wait for the disengagement. 2wheel to part time is no problem, it's part time to full time or back that is, I guess for no better terminology "slushier" and then the same going from part time to 2wheel, just not as definite, there is always a lag for disengagement. But drive ability is still a vast improvement not having to worry about hitting a slick spot on the road. I run 4 studded snows during the winter months due to a lot of ice I encounter and shifting the 231 was getting old. Very happy with the swap.

That's the important part.

I did the same thing this weekend. Sign said 30 miles to Buc-ee's. The gauge was half way between 1/4 and the red line. By the time I got there, the gauge was way, way, way, past E. It took 18.6 gallons to fill up. I am still trying to figure out how big a tank I have. I read most 99s have 20 gallons. If there was still 1.4 gallons left, I would like to know why they put the E where they did!!???

Painted and fitted rear light guards for my 98 XJ Sport. What you think guys? Took ages to find these guards! :-)

Welcome to XJs. E stands for Ease On Into a Gas Station When You Get A Chance.

Now if only my MJ's fuel gauge had a needle... I've only gone dry once. Motor died at a red light, I started it back up after a minute, and I got just enough to coast downhill and into the station. 22.2 gallons in my 23gal tank.

As for not filling to capacity, they leave air at the top for heat expansion.

Looks good. I was gonna say I've only seen those guards on export models, but then I paid attention

My mj has a needle its just 1/4 of a tank off

NewKindOfClown

At least you have an idea.


Fuel gauge, idiot lights (except voltmeter), and shift indicator don't work. Speedometer bounces, too lol

Well when it says 3/4 its full

Thanks man :-) Yeah they are not that easy to find even on European market. Couldn't believe my luck :-)
