DON'T DO IT. Not worth it, don't even "go there".
Yes, the car can be rendered inoperable by the trashed transfer case.
The front half shaft boots are prone to failure both inner and outer.
The car, even when new, drives very "heavy" if you know what I mean. Just not very light feeling to the steering, very stiff feel to it.
The front springs are just weird, has a large gap wound into it towards the bottom where the half shaft comes through. On the new style 4M they at least put the spring up on a perch and the half shaft goes through underneath it.
I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Even if the transfer case never fails, it's not a real satisfying "ride". Plus they also have this stigma attached to it, so you'd have a tough time getting rid of it.
