I have a 97 XJ but I don't know what transfer case I have and also I want to know if I can put it in full time 4 wheel drive or not

This is what the NP242 will full time selector looks like.

you will need the t-case, the shifter with gate and bezel. make sure you get one from at least a 91 4L, that way you get the correct (23) spline count.

Find someone who wheels their XJ and has a 242, I'd almost bet they'd be more than willing to trade you. Not much aftermarket support for the 242 and I personally don't trust a t-case with a diff in it.
