Maybe there are smarter people in the group who from this post may make
better buying decisions in the future. Maybe buy an old Dana or an Atlas

Let's just conclude that after nearly 20 years on the road and trail the
NP231 & NP242 xfer cases have held up every bit as well as the old
gear-driven boxes, and have required far fewer repairs. Why, Hell, even Real
Jeeps snap off the output shafts on Spice 18s, D20s and D300s, that's why AA
and others sell beef-up kits. Me, I got an Atlas II in the YJ and a leaky
2:1 D20 in the CJ, plus a low mileage NP231 with a Currie SYE kit in a box,
ready to sell.
