Ryan bought a YJ shortly after I bought my Jeep... and it's been a total nightmare, breaking every other week, catching on fire, causing serious bodily harm to it's owner. Apparently it's a Jeep thing. I guess... in someways I get it. I think I may have been living in denial. I've been telling myself that Ryan's nightmare YJ was not a nightmare because it was a JEEP engineered and built in America, but rather because it was a modified, well driven trail rig. After all... I've owned my JEEP for the better part of a year now, and the only work I've done on it has been typical maintenance: tires, fluid changes etc. But now... almost a year in, I can see a LOONNG list of items piling up. The transfer case has never been perfect. The shift linkage actually broke shortly after I bought the truck. It has never gone smoothly in and out of High/Low. I've fixed the linkage, adjusted the linkage, changed the TC oil... and still no luck. Apparently it's not uncommon... likely a result of the wrong fluid being used for a very long time.
