Hi folks,
Today was my first experience on icy roads with my XJ, and I have decided that it needs some work. 2WD sucked, and the part-time 4WD still had me sliding around a lot. (I had a couple big RWD cars when I lived in NE Ohio, so I'm not unfamiliar with "death sleds" in the winter.) Is it worth it to switch to a 242 transfer case? I've heard it's weaker than the 231, but I'm on-road much more than off. Is a 242 better for a daily driver?
I'm also thinking about front+rear LSDs, or maybe an automatic locker in the back. What would be best for winter street driving?
Thanks!
