I have a 99 XJ, 4.0, auto, NP231. I have taken this jeep on some expeditions, handles great on trails and mud, never any problems, but have never required the use of 4lo. Today I went wheeling with a buddy, we did some very steep hills, rocks, and very uneven terrain. Initially it went into 4lo very easily, performed great, but everytime I tried to get out of 4lo back to 4hi, it got progressively harder, and sometimes grinding. Now it is very hard to get into 4lo, and takes alot of effort and wiggling. I did go through a bunch of water and gunk. Other than that it was awesome performed better that I expected. Could there be alot of crap jamming up the transfer case, or what could be other possible problems?
