Running a spool up front with a 242...now before i get jumped, my question refers to a 242 with a d44 front with manual hubs. I have a 97 project rig that i picked up cheap and in great shape. i also have a set of spare diffs: a big bearing hp-d44 front with a yukon full spool and a ford 9" big bearing with a Yukon Grizzly both with 5.13's and have been narrowed to xj specs.
So my question is: if i only have one hub locked can i run in full-time or should i swap t-cases with my 96's 231?
thanks for your help! -B
Also, heres some background on the 97...
it came with a 3" rough country lift, 31" rubber (needs replacing), pwr windows and locks, overhead console, K&N intake tube and filter, d30 front, 8.25 29 spline with disc brake conversion, magnaflow exhaust, deep tinted windows, mint interior, 242, gas tank skid, 142k, citron green for the sweet price of...$600! The fella thought his jeep was hooped and just wanted to dump it. turns out all i had to do was rebuild the nss. I have since added a c-rok steering box brace, warn t-case skid, upgraded wiring, pre runner front bumper, jcr rear bumper, and apn header.
I may just keep this as a daily driver and continue beefing my 96 which has a 231 t-case. still mulling it over.
