I have been in the process of building myself a heavy duty 242 from 242 AMG and 242 J parts. The main reasons are for a strong 32 spline shaft, bigger chain/cogs, and a 6 planetary low range set. There are other reasons and better parts I have used also. The 242 doesn't have aftermarket support for heavy duty kits and as most should know the mainshaft can break just like a 231 where the speedo gear rides (saw this happen in Moab last year) and this was a main reason behind it. Another was I wanted to be different. Below are some pictures and a link to more photos with descriptions to the various parts.
