Re: possibly getting a jeep, need some advice from current owners
If it's been wrecked, (twice) I'd definitely pay the $25 or so to get a CARFAX report on what was damaged; you'll be able to make a more informed decision that way.
As far as the shavings in the front differential, I believe on that year of Jeep that the front hubs are always engaged; so that set of gears will always be turning while you're driving, it just won't be hooked up inside the transfer case. So you'll be looking at replacing sooner rather than later. I'd try the simple fix first, that is to drain and replace the fluid and re check it again in 5K miles.
