i ripped all that shit out. There will still be the ECM tho. You can come look at mine sometime if you want. I have an 85 CJ7 4.2, and a 79 CJ5 360. Both run how the wiring is now, so you can see where stuff goes. Dartmouth.

I think the Nutter removes the computer from adjusting timing. I did it to mine.

Anyone know roughly what a complete Cherokee might be worth as scrap? Also, who buys/picks up big scrap? All the tow companies take scrap vehicles. kijiji is littered with ads. They get vehicle for price of the tow is how they want to work it. Maybe if you had something worth a lot of good parts at a junkyard to them, but an old XJ isn't going to be one of those vehicles. You will not get any money at all from a tow company, for that rig. They will remove it for free. As posted above, the value of the scrap weight is below the value of the tow. The tow guys hope to sit on the parts, and make some money back that way. Basically go around collecting free inventory for their scrapyards. You will NEVER make money from a tow outfit or scrapyard! lol

Well you prob don't have a Rubi241, because its 4:1, rare, and worth a lot of cash to just be sitting around. You have to search them out.
I'd be interested to hear if you can put 241 parts in a 242, but i don't see the purpose unless the output shaft smallest diameter is increased.

From what I remember it was basically sticking 241 parts into a 242 case with a few of the 242 parts. Makes a heavy duty 231 I guess There's no 231 case in play, how will you get a 231 out of two other cases that aren't a 231?

I think you got your model numbers mixed up. Possibly saying 241 when you mean 242.
The info I have is from handling the parts and building a couple of cases and a reduction box.
231j = common jeep, 3 pinion planetaries, skinny chain. 231c = S10 Blazers, etc. Exact same as 231j, with 6 pinion planetaries, and a wide chain. 242 = similar to 231, but with a differential for AWD. (different driveshaft speeds) The case is visually larger. I'm not aware of parts swapping w a 241. 241 = full size aluminum T-cases. Took the place of iron 203/205 series. 241OR = oddball Rubi 4:1 case that may share parts to the common 241.
Use 231c parts to swap into/build a stronger 231j. It is preferable to use a 231c rather than a 231j for building a reduction box.
I have no info on 241/241OR, other than the case is totally different from 231.
242 has large planetaries, wide chain, and a 32 spline front output shaft. These parts will not swap into a 231 case. I don't know if 241 parts swap into a 242. The components appear to be more robust that a 231, but there are a few more moving parts. I'd suggest 242 are stronger at the chain, but both 231/242 suffer from the same small diameter output shaft, making them equal.

Its hard to do.
You kind of have to have them out of alignment and then they come straight as you tighten them. Doesn't matter if its on the Jeep or in a vice.
Instead of 260ft/lbs i get 'em tight as I can with a big wrench and pipe, then tack weld. Its easy to break a little tack weld with a big wrench, but it will never vibe loose.
The intent of the huge torque needed on the jam nut is because they love to come loose, the thread is always seeing twisting force, it loosens the jam nut....which damages the internal threads...which makes it come loose more often, repeat....until tack welded!
Something like 100ft/lbs and a tack weld works fine.

Very nice! I have (had) the CJ5 twin to it. Same color and trim package. Its a rockbuggy now, but I did drive it on the road looking VERY similar to your new ride.
The 360/T18 combo was awesome in the woods.

I was wondering about the regular insurance/antique plates. I want to do that on a future project, will suit my needs.
And yes, any place that does stickers can do the mechanical fitness test for your 'one and only' inspection if going antique plates.
This is where the loopholecome into play - a totally unqualified 'club officer' can sign your mechanical fitness form, instead of a licenced mechanic.

The WK has a Chrysler 8.25 (ring gear diameter), and comes in 10 or 12 diff cover bolt versions?
10 and 12 bolts are very common terms for Chev axles, actually referring to ring gear bolts, but almost universally thought to be diff cover bolts.
Just curious!
