Oh btw, yes its a manual and he is only asking because he doesn't want to damage his 4x4.

The transfer case is connected to the transmission, not the engine. You won't hurt the transfer case by turning the engine off and coasting in neutral.
Keep in mind that these Jeeps are often used as RV Toads (towed behind a motorhome) and many rack up far more miles with the engine off than on...
