NP231 Rebuild kit.

[SkipshotMJ]

Hey guys. I'm looking at rebuild kits right now. There are a bunch out there on the interweb and i was hoping you guys could help me decide. I was originally looking at JB conversion's kit ( http://www.jbconversions.com/pages/prod ... index.html ) and they say that their kit is superior to their competitors, but they are a bit pricey... Should i go with them or buy from some place like 4wd.com or fourwheelparts.com or eastcoastgearsupply.com etc. etc. Thanks for the help guys! :cheers:

I think this might be one of those places where the moniker "you get what you pay for applies". Looks like the kit is good and complete. Seems like a decent deal.

What is wrong with your case? Looks like the master kit is 150. That is not bad as long as they are quality bearings and not chinese knock offs.

Yea. i think the jb conversions one looks the best. thanks! um. i was driving to pismo state beach for some wheeling in the dunes and on the way down my tc went out. i could only move while in 4low.

See how screwed the internals are before buying a rebuild kit. It might need more than that. In which case a new (used) low mileage case can be a better deal.

 

You also might want a chain if yours is sloppy.

 

I'd look around and compare kit contents before I bought one.

 

You also might need a special bearing puller to get the one front output bearing out as it is installed blind. The FSM has a number for the tool, but I'd sure Jeep would want eleventybillion dollars for it. Maybe somebody knows a good trick.
