I'm dragging my heels on calling the guy with the '99 xj limited, but with a planned trip to Arizona in December and the price of Diesel more than gas and no word from the infamous black hole, I'm thinking that the XJ will be the best bet for a winter road trip... the '99 wj is fine, but isn't as fuel efficient and needs a transfer case chain... keep forgetting about it. :) john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2007 09:15:20 -0700 From: Kevin Subject: Re: fsj: Re: 4BT in GW Is it just me, or does that seem like too much torque and too much weight for an aluminum chain drive case like a 231?
