Hey guys, I’ve been researching parts interchangeability between the different versions of the NP241J. Specifically which parts from a normal 241 will fit a 241OR and the differences between the TJ and JK versions of the 241OR. I couldn’t find much info, so I decided to share what I’ve learned.
About a year ago I bought a 241OR from a 2003 TJ Wrangler that had self destructed with hopes of rebuilding it and swapping it into my 2001 XJ. When I got the transfer case home I saw that it was in rough shape, every part of it was damaged including a cracked front case half and the previous owner had disassembled the case himself before selling it. For some reason he decided to disassemble the oil pump housing on the rear case half, which the FSM states to never take apart. At this point I realized I needed a donor transfer case, but I knew how hard it would be to find another 241OR, so I started thinking about the NP/MP241 that comes in the JK Wrangler. I looked on Craigslist and found a MP241 from a 2013 JK Wrangler for $140! I bought it, took it home and started taking it apart. I’ll post some pics for you guys soon.
