    My advice would be a good set of winter tires first, learn to drive in the crud next, then DTT if you still need it.

    4-part time vs. 4-full time

    I've heard a manual will cause the 242 to bind, I have no idea why that would be the case, but I also have no experience with it working either.

    how much ground clearance?

    Measured from where?

    4-part time vs. 4-full time

    Yes, I did the swap, and I find it worthwhile. I'd say, if you frequently find yourself in situations where you'd like to have 4wd on, but the physics of part-time keep you from being able to do so, then the swap is worth it. Here is the link to my write-up. Just be sure that the 242 is from a KJ.

    no self respecting soccer mom will admit this, but an SUV is nothing more than a jacked-up station wagon. And, if we're honest with ourselves, that's pretty much what most Jeep lines are... Station wagons with competent drive trains & suspensions.

    Just do not forget to pull the fuse! Car fires SUCK!

    I'd try to mount the amp under the rear seat. That way if you ever need to use the cargo area, all you have to remove is the box.

    Sorry, I'm not a sub woofer fanatic, I'm an audio snob! I dislike prefab boxes, especially the ones that are, well, huge boxes. I like systems that sound great & retain most of the functionality of the vehicle. When I bought a house, one of my first purchases was a table saw!

    Post a photo, especially of the amp & it's location.

    Don't bother with the Velcro, but the amp should be screwed down to something.

    The bottom of the battery is probably smooth. The fabric on the sub box + the pressure from the weight of the box tend to keep them in place. I bet Bash's box tips over before it slides. 2006 KJ's isn't going anywhere unless he's involved in a big accident.

    No, not for that. If you do notice any strain on the electrical system, don't start with the battery or alternator, but with the wiring. For starters make sure you are using at least 8 gauge cable to power your amp. I prefer 4, but 8 should be fine. If you notice a strain on the electrical...

    4-part time vs. 4-full time

    There is no viscous coupling in the NP-242 (selec-trac) t-case. it acts like an open differential, only between the front & rear wheels. The Grand Cherokee's Quadra-trac uses the viscous coupling. The problem using Part time when it's just slick in spotty areas is you hit a lot of dry pavement...

    4-part time vs. 4-full time

    Or in a winter storm where the roads are completely snow or ice covered. I Don't know how often that happens in Raleigh, NC though.

    4-part time vs. 4-full time

    You can use full-time any time, all the time if you want. Part-time is only to be used when on loose material like gravel, dirt, & deep snow. Since you have full-time, I'd say only use part-time if you are actually off-road or in one heck of a snow storm, otherwise use full-time or 2WD.

    Don't play that Amp to speaker match crap. It's a myth. I haven't done that since High School (sadly, about 2 decades ago). It's better to have an amp that is clean than to worry about power output & speaker capability. I'd prefer to have a high quality amp that puts out 100 W per channel to...
