QUESTION for you .....

[CWLONGSHOT]

OK, guys, I believe what I have here is two transfer case skid plates for XJ/MJ's. One is a 242 and the other is a 231 skid. But which is which???

 

NUMBER 1

 

 

 

NUMBER 2

 

 

 

I believe the first one is for a 242 T case and the second one is for a 231 T case.

 

PLEASE CORRECT me if I am wrong!!

Your wrong either way.

 

 

One is for if you have an AW4/AX-15 and the other if you have a peugeot.

 

 

I think. Or you're right. I could look at my skids to tell you, if I could find them.

my poogeut tranny has the skidplate in pic #2 and i have a 231

Pic #1 looks like the one that was on my ex-GF's '88 XJ with 242, and it's also like the one I added to my '88. It hangs down pretty far beneath the 231 in mine, and I always suspected it was intended for the 242.

 

I don't think they were based on the tranny, I have always been led to believe they were paired to the transfer case. The 242 case is slightly larger and hangs down slightly farther than the 231, hence the difference.

#1 is a 242 skid.

 

Wanna sell it? :D

 

I'm picking up a 242 this weekend to throw under the MJ (and I forgot about needing a new skid.....unless the 231 will clear?)

I have an "AX5" with a "NP231" and the skid plate is the one in picture 2.

space your 231 skid down a little on the frame end, you can drop it down with a piece of 1" square and it will clear. You'll need longer bolts obviously. Same thing that you get with those transfer case drop kits.
