RIP Mike, we'll all miss you
do you have the front hubs locked in and driving around on hard pavement with the Transfer Case in 4wd?
That will cause the drivetrain to bind up and cause all kinds of problems.

It dies in neutral? That sounds like the Transmission is binding. Are you able to shift through all the gears when the clutch is pressed in? If not then remove the top of the tranny and manually move the shift forks into the neutral position and put the top of the tranny back on.
If you can shift through all the gears then it may be something more serious with the Transmission . Removing the top of the Transmission still might allow you to see what's wrong. Make sure you are in neutral before opening the tranny.

could also be a pressure plate problem, try starting it in gear, with the clutch pushed in if it moves, and you can "float" it from 1st to 2nd without using the clutch it is most likely a clutch problem.

stranges thing ever. if i turn the motor over while in gear it would jump. It went dead
evertime I let the clutch out. Yet with the clutch in I could rev it up a far as I wanted to go. This is how I got it to run. I shook all the wires under the steering wheel. I know it was fixed cause it turn over in nutral without the clutch being in. Wiring problens OOOO NO. I drove the jeep for the rest of the day 
. No Problems.

Loose wiring for the ignition switch coming in contact with clutch pedal?
