Comments: The Quadra-drive transfer case in my Jeep went at 80K. I was told that they were filled with the wrong fluid at the factory, and the previous owner never changed the fluid. I replaced it with heavy duty 231. South bay driveline (San Jose,CA) has built a custom driveshaft for this application. The Jeep spends most of its life on dry pavement, so it lives in 2WD most of the time. It's quite a bit more fuel efficient in 2WD. I still have the 4WD when I need it, for example for winter skiing trips. Overall, I highly recommend this conversion if you live in California or a place with similar climate. If I lived up north, I'd probably want full-time 4WD.
