Welcome to the forum, rist!
I don't know much myself, but the folks here have been very helpful when I've had problems. There is a wealth of information in the threads, too.
Personally all I can do is speculate. I would think it's like the motor, once it's replaced it would be good for a long time. Seems like the stock transmissions have been a problem for the Libby's.
Maybe tommudd has a better idea on ****** life?
FWIW, just had to replace the engine on my '02 last summer. Previous owner had the ****** rebuilt and rest of the body is in good shape. Paid off & I need it for winter travel (if we'd ever get some snow around here).

I drive the jeep 1-3 times/week to work. She's done great until this morning, no signs of problems at all. Starts & runs fine, fuel pump works great.
Today- started the Jeep but it died in about 2 seconds. Tried again, combined with pumping the gas pedal but it still died. Drove another...
Had my new tires put on! Happy day! Greatly improved the looks and functionality.
