Why remove the driveshaft? XJ's are pulled 4-down behind motorhomes all over heck.
Mine (also a 96) has been shoving a 37' Southwind around for several years, lol.

Transmission to Neutral, then shift transfer case to Neutral and leave it there, then put the transmission in D momentarily to make sure the transfer case is really in neutral...then back to Park. Key to "off". Good to go.
Do NOT leave the transmission anywhere other than Park, else you'll have moving parts that aren't getting oiled. Transfer case oils mechanically off the output shaft...so it's fine.

If you have a 2WD...disconnect the driveshaft.

Just put the t-case in neutral.
Leave the transmission in park.

tie drive shaft up if you remove gonna loose fluid if 2wd
