What jeeps are most likely to have the 242 transfer case?

My 2000 sport has one, another guy around here has a 2000 which doesn't have one. Weird.

It was standard on some packages and optional on others. Generally, look for the upscale models to be equipped with the 242.

In addition to the "upscale" comment, you'll almost never find a 242 behind the 5-speed - look for 4.0L Autos.

Agreed on the upscale versions having it. My buddy and I have near identical trucks but he has the towing package and he has the 242 while i`m still with the 231. :bawl:

My '91 laredo w/ tow package and auto has a 231. Is it really worth swapping?

Depends on what your plans are. If you see a lot of snow/ice, or let others drive your rig regularly, the 242 is a good option.
If you are more into wheeling your rig, the 231 has more upgrades available, and is a much simpler case.

The 242 was optional in the XJs with a 4.0L / AW4 combo until the end of production. The 242 was the base t-case in 4.0L ZJs from '94 and the 4.0L WJs.
HD 242s were available in the Durango and Hummer.

I mostly find the NP242s in those XJs with the 2WD/4x4 PART TIME/4x4 FULL TIME/N/4 LO shift bezels, and mostly NP231s in those XJs with the 2H/4H/N/4L shift bezels. Hope that helps.
