TJ TC skid onto a ZJ?
« on: July 28, 2006, 04:45:33 PM »
so i was lookin at my moms TJ the other day and it has all the factory skids.  unfortunately, that jeep will never utilize such parts. my ZJ however, will.  will the TJ TC skid bolt up to my ZJ? i'm sure i could make it work but i'm just curious if anyone knows.

T-case is a 231 i believe (4cyl, 5speed TJ, and the ZJ has the 249)

It DOESN'T hod up the transfer case, it's where your transmission is mounted... be careful.

True... but the transmission does hold up the tcase if memory serves me  :D  Man, I really do need to get another jeep if I'm making slip ups like that, eh?
