If the XJ is also a 4x4 then yes is should swap right in no problem. There may be some differences in the shifter linkage and/or brackets that you may have to address but those should be easy enough to get around.

I may be incorrect but I believe that the 231's in the TJ's are clocked higher then in the XJ's.

The TJ's are clocked higher, but the t-cases are the same. The higher clocking comes from the differently drilled mounting holes on the tranny output housing. The only differences you may run into are different sensor plugs and possibly a different shifter arm, both of which could easily be swapped off the original t-case.

Spline counts are the same, 23 spline. Spline input lengths may vary though, autos and manuals have different lengths and some later TJ autos are longer the XJ autos.

When/if you do this swap, check into this for the shifter linkage: http://www.bsfab.net/?p=26. I am going to be doing this on my XJ once I get the new driveline installed to it. Best of luck with it,

This is done by the tailhousing on the transmission, not the transfer case proper. That's why the tail needs to be swapped on transmissions going from YJ/TJ to XJ/MJ/ZJ, and vice versa.
