Which one is what T Case? The NP231 is the best T Case IMO.

both are good cases. Depends more on personal preference.
Want fulltime 4wd - get a 242
don't use fulltime - get a 231

Most people on here have either a) already done this conversion, or b) know the pro's and con's of each case. Because this post really is not at an advanced tech level, I am moving it to Newbie Tech.

I just know that I don't want Quadra-Trac because I don't want 4WD all the time...

Ok, than junk the 249. I have run all 3 cases, and I like the 231 the best. It's lighter, stronger, and has more aftermarket support. Plus easier to find.

the 249 was great in the snow and ice.

so depending on what you want to do. the 242 is alot more versatile and street friendly. but on the other hand TJ's and XJ's have been using then for years on the street with no problems.

if i were to do it again i would have doen the d300 right frm the get go. still the 231 is great if you dont' plan on goign bigger then 36.

249 sucks

231 may have more aftermarket products and be a tad stronger but for the majority of wheeling a 242 won't give you any problems. Mine has treated me pretty well ever since I've had it.

Agreed. My 242 was great until it ran way low on fluid and decided to weld itself together. I went with a 231, which I like because it's lighter and simpler.

Ok, once again showing my ignorance... Which one is which? Is the 231 the Selec-Trac that I see so often?

The 242 is way more complicated compared to the 231 because of the full time/part time junk. If I'm running 4wd on the street, it's because I need it, and I would run part time... so full time had to use for me. I'm not sure when you would use it really?
