That would probably be something to do if I had a 4wd and did a lot of
offroad or rock crawling, but with a 2wd I haven't had a single problem
in over 250,000 miles that we have driven it.

bummer is that the J**p driveshaft is only one piece because of the
funky slip-yoke used at the rear output of the transfer case. pull that
yoke out while flexed up or break a driveshaft, and you're going to dump
all your transfer case lube on the ground out the hole at the back of
the T'Case.
this is why one of the most common serious upgrades in J**p'dom is
the Fixed Output conversion (also referred to as a Slip Yoke
Eliminator/SYE) and a double Cardan driveshaft.
if you're going to all the rest of this effort, you might as well
consider doing the Fixed Output mod to make the T'Case more trustworthy;
another bonus is that most of the better conversions will actually
shorten the tail end of the T'Case making it possible to use a longer
rear driveshaft and thereby reduce the working angles of the driveshaft
U-Joints.
cheers!
