You have the NP231. No full time 4WD. Those transfer cases do not like dry pavement so be careful.
This is what the NP242 will full time selector looks like.

TC doesn't cost much if you can find a good second hand one, it's the labour involved in fitting one. DIY - free!

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.
