im just trying to figure out where to start on my cousins rig. Yes it was weird. yes ive been wheeling for the last 12 years and never seen anything like. we had like me and 2 other naxja memberss there and we all saw it, strapped the jeep out and where ready to pull the rear end, and then it just started working. we all saw the rear DS was spinning and neither rear tire where spinning. it was weird. If no one has ever seen this before, then my guess is the 242 is acting up, not the rear end, and ill just plan on pulling the 242 and seeing what is going on inside. I was just hoping to hear something like ya, technically the 242 can sometimes only send torque to just the front or just the rear and thats normal for 242, dont waste your time pulling the case yada yada yada, and he never wheels it in full time only part time. my guess now is that something is fubar in the 242, i was really hoping someone had a good idea of what it was.
trolling? hardly, ive been on naxja for years and im an extremely active member in the sierra chapter dude. ive built up a 8 or 9 XJs in the last 8 years and never once had a 242, and ive never seen anything like it. I also wheeled a few scouts (800a and a II), a 90 pathfinder, a 86 4runner all built up, and a 59 cj5. never seen anything like it. I guess no one else has either.
No i didnt take it to a shop and watch a real mechanic do stupid shit on my o2 sensor, I am no bimmerjeeper. I do all of my own work and own a ton of tools. ive never had an issue with a blanket in the rear hatch.
I wish I was full of BS, just never seen anything like it and I dont know jack about the 242s, i was thinking maybe the center diff was gonig fubar or something.
if we dont figure it out before the next time he actually wheels it(June?) ill try to get some video of the 1 wheel drive situation.
