Re: Reverse In 4X4?
The cut on the diff gears is strongest in forward so heavy pulls should
be from the rear.
Other than that I have never heard about t-case issues in reverse.

Re: Reverse In 4X4?
No. Although, I have seem many full-time Chevys where a worn out
chain would jump in reverse. And I wouldn't pull anything because the
reverse idler is the weakest gear, and ring and pinions are far weaker
in reverse. Leaf springs will bend.

Perhaps, but a REAL Jeepster has a T-400 automatic, and a chainless Dana 20
