I could be wrong, but I thought the birth of the Liberty was the death of the 242. Didn't they only come with the Diamler 3.7 liter V-6? I didn't do extensive research but that's what my memory is telling me.

Depends on which "242" you are talking about, the 4.0l, 242ci engine was disco'd after 2006 in the Wrangler and had been replaced with the both the 3.7l OHC truck V-6 and the 3.8l OHV minivan V-6 motors in Jeep applications. Looks like the OP was talking about the NV/NP242 full time 4wd transfercase commonly know as the Selec-Trac in Jeep vehicles and had beefed up versions that were used in the Durango and Humvee.
Yes I am talking about the tcase. I know there are slight differences in the Jeep version vs the Durango vs the Humvee, just need to know what could be different between the 242 found in an XJ and the 242 found in a Liberty.

From what I have seen I think clocking and linkage would be the problems with the NV242 from the liberty. but I don't know anyone that has tried.

sorry,
The way that the X-fer case mounts to the trans. Because the front drive shaft sits off to the side it matters how it is aligned with the transmission.
if you look at the picture below (not a jeep) the clocking determins how high the protruding portion of the case goes up or down.
If its clocked too high it will hit the floor boards.
If its clocked too low it will drag on the ground and/or hit your cross member.

clocking refers to how it is rotated when it is installed. for example, the cherokee and wrangler transfer cases have identical mounting hole patterns, but the hole positions are clocked a little different (rotated) because of clearance and driveshaft issues
