Change the fluid on a regular basis.

Only way to beef is up is to replace it with something stronger.But the question is how and why did it break tho?Do you have any type of armor under the jeep?Do you have a sye on the jeep?

Not enough information to help photos of the transfer case would help also as to where the case broke then open it up and see what really happened.

Those things don't just happen out of the blue, most of the times its neglect not saying that is your problem but a lot of the time.

The Devil is always in the details.

You need to have a checklist of everything you need to check "Every time" you work on it!

Then at least once a week check "ALL FLUID LEVELS" at the very least and make sure electrical system is working lights, shift linkages transmission, transfer case are working properly.

Make it a HABIT and do vary from it, will save you a lot of money over the years.
