I have an '04 231 from an LJ sitting at my house I will swap with the 249 into my '97 ZJ soon... I need to know where I can find the linkage for a 231 b/c mine doesnt have it. I would like to find all the linkage, shifter and bezel from the same place to prevent the dealer's prices.

all 231 linkage should be about the same so go for a junkyard. the bezel however is a little more rare, but its only 10 or 15 bux from the dealer IIRC.

Just cut yours shorter and weld it back together. It'll work. you'll see what I mean once you get under there.

Do that or buy my 231HD I'm selling with my linkage :finga:

It'll work, you'll need to cut about an inch of length out of the longer rod in the linkage. You'll see what I mean when you get to it.

the linkage for a 249 and 231 are the same. just a 231 uses a slightly shorter long rod.

Grind off the pin on the end that attaches to the T-Case and drill a 3/16" hole about 3/4 in. inward (the linkage spoons out to flat for about 4 inches). Bolt this through the linkage and through the t-case lever.

Then pull a shift handle out of a YJ and replace yours with it. Put a nudie pic in the space where the old bezel was...
