My 242 transfer case would pop out of 4low in drive and reverse so I bought a 231. I also found some cool parts for my jeep @milestartires5638 @bilsteinUS @IronRockOffRoad
I like the black grill, it works with the front bumper and the armor like you said. But curiosity is gonna mess with you, (it would mess with me). Projects its never ending huh.
I’m sure you’ve figured it out now but usually the 4wd shifter needs to be adjusted from the bottom. There are plenty of videos on it. Had to do it once to my Xj. I have two ZJ’s. Next upgrades are adding factory fog lights and hoping to find a nice v8 to swap one of my 4.0’s with! Cool vid man, cheers!
So imma and my buddy David build the bumpers. Here’s the video on the front bumper. Rear bumper ruclips.net/video/h5buEyOlaho/видео.html ruclips.net/video/s_FmunX093c/видео.html Front bumper ruclips.net/video/IyhrPkSSkvs/видео.html
What lift you running? And what size tires? I got a 97 zj i want to lift and get 35" tires under it. But anyways it's got the 5.2 v8, 44re Trans, np249 transfer case, and dana 44 rear dana 30 front. Don't know what gear ratio yet but I'll find out when I change the bad right rear axle bearing. Supposedly zj with the tow package have 3:73 gears but we'll see.
This is everything my jeep had. Jeep info my jeep is a 1998 grand Cherokee 4.0 with a AX15 5speed swap. It sits on 37inch Goodyear wranglers and Battleborn beadlocks. The beadlocks are not in use. The wheels are ran like normal wheels. Tires will need to be balanced before driving on the road at high speeds. AXLES It has a high pinion Dana 30 that has a Spartan locker with 5.13 gears wj knuckles, c gussets, psc hydro assist, custom steering links, custom over the axle track bar, artec truss, steering box brace and a custom track bar bracket brace. The rear axle is a 8.8 with 5.13 gears and a Spartan locker. The 8.8 also has a c clip eliminator and chromoly axle shafts SUSPENSION It has rough country long arms front and rear. The front axle is stretched forward a few inches and so is the rear axle. Up front it has 4.5 dual rate TJ front metalcloack springs, ACOS coil spacer and Bilstein shocks. The rear has 3.5 super lift xj coils with .5 coil spacers. BODY/ARMOR Me and a friend built the front and rear bumpers as well as the rock sliders. It has DBM quarter panel armor, Ebay mustang hood vents, a very rare rear Lund wind jammer spoiler, wrapped b and c pillars, eBay lights, rock lights and a 5.9 grill. INTERIOR Front NRG seats, seat covers for the rear, cargo cover, spare axle shafts under the rear seat and a pioneer double din with Apple car play.
Yup. It’s holding up fine. I want to swap out the rear links for the iron rock triangulated tho. The mounts hang low on the rough country kit. I’m only running the links, bushings, arms and brackets. I’m have different coils, shocks track bars ETC.
Its like the exterior visor they made for them- ive come across a few on ebay but they are rare as hell! Imm going to have to keep an eye out for one! Awesome build bro
Where you get the hood vents?? And did you do a video on the install?? I have a 96 ZJ that I would like to put vents in the hood. And I want to replace my 242 transfer case with a 231 as looking for 2 wheel drive while daily driving the 318 motor......drinks gas like soda pop...if you put out a video on the procedure let me know through a reply...thanks
I kinda put the steps for the transmission swap but it was mainly me doing some of it and exposing the rest. It is really easy especially if you don’t have long arms. This video kinda has a explanation of how the hood vents are put in. ruclips.net/video/rJDtBAJT1ck/видео.html

Yea as of now I’m leaving it. Maybe one day I’ll paint it 🤷🏾♂️
It's 2022 and you're riding that wagon! Ride on bud!
Thank you. It’s old but I love it!
That's cool, I did not know they made a spoiler for those back then. I have one of those sun visor things that sit above the windshield if you want it
Yea it’s a part nobody usually knows about. I’ve been looking for the spoiler for a while. Can you message me on Instagram? Rashadpierce03
nice I want for my 1998 5.9l limited
Yeah, 242 for some reason the shift fork bends. Very little or ever so slightly. The only reason I found that or my bent fork was thru forums
The teeth on my range slider kept getting chewed up. I got tired of it
So I should get a 231 for my ZJ? Not a 242... Noted...Thanks..

@@RashadsGarage wash rack…fat fingers, lol
I think it looks really good, I’d keep the grill black
I eventually painted it
Where did you get those rock sliders? They look awesome.
All the armor is custom built. My friend in El Paso built it
this is a nice jeep my friend i like the back spoiler.!how many inch is your lift you have spacer.? 😎
It’s a 4inch lift with 1 inch spacers
@@RashadsGarage thank you i like it so much i have a 98 5.9 i going to put some lift like this and a big tires.!!
i have the same one 98 5.9 i just put 4.5 inch lift im not sure what size of tires is better 33s or maybe 35s
Please don’t its already rear so if u ever resale it’s worth more stock and it also fits
I don’t plan on selling the grill. I painted it. I like it red over black

Are you running the rough county long arm kit? If so how is it holding up?
Yup. It’s holding up fine. I want to swap out the rear links for the iron rock triangulated tho. The mounts hang low on the rough country kit.
I’m only running the links, bushings, arms and brackets. I’m have different coils, shocks track bars ETC.
I have a zj similar to yours on 35s with a 5.2 and a 5 speed where did you get your bumpers ?
I built them a few years ago with a friend. They are really easy to do
Yo that rear spoiler looks sick! I didnt even know they were an option! Do you know the manufacturer?
It’s a really really rare part made by Lund. I’ve only seen 2 for sale and they are almost impossible to find
Its like the exterior visor they made for them- ive come across a few on ebay but they are rare as hell! Imm going to have to keep an eye out for one! Awesome build bro
