  • 249 to 242 swap

    ok I was told this was an easy swap. Does it matter if the 242 came from an xj or does it need to be from a zj? do all i need to have is the case or do i need different plug ins too?

    mine was a straight in swap, same plug ins, linkage and drive shaft. You will have to check the spline count depending on what you pull it from. a ZJ with the same motor 6 or 8 would be your best bet.

    why you swapping, i bashed the **** out of mine and had no issues. i swapped to get 2 wheel drive, while off road, so the lockers would not push in the tight corners.

    the swap will not gain you any gas mileage increase. zip zero and notta.

        I'm with Wes. It's a super simple swap. Just make sure the spline counts are the same.

          doing this for the 2wd as well. I want to change all the cv stuff over to joints and have 2wd for mech lockers. plus while wheeling...sometimes 2wd comes in handy! And the 242 has an sye already
