Stuff happens, can't blame Chrysler for this one.
Sure a supercharger and 37's would help it fail, they are not the strongest trannys to begin with. So what, it costs money to play. Adding performance (and with it, fun!) comes with a price, thats for sure.
All you can do it replace the tranny, I would add a cooler.
It takes lots of money to play when one chooses automobiles as the toy.

to touch on this and your other post, lets clear things up.
When you bought the JK from RIPP they told you to NOT have OD on in the city or did they tell you this after your transmission blew?
dude, if it was their 'show jeep' or 'demo jeep' that means they drove the crap out of it, burn outs and hammering it from a dead stop... I'm not surprised!
Spend the money and get a good aftermarket tranny, then use it like normal.

hell is a strong statement i dont think it has the originial owner never went off roading and the little bit that i did want that bad. i think big wheels and a supercharger for all the miles put alittle strain on it either way new one is getting installed and i will have it back in a couple of days ...now if it happens again 2012 here i come!
