There's a couple of Lada Niva remote transfer cases on eBay but they are sort of the wrong way round for a jimny as they cater for diffs that are offset towards the near side rather than the offside

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Is there any way to get a FreeLander MK1 viscous unit into the front propshaft?
Then you could drive it in 2wd or 4wd on the Jinmy transfer.
I've no idea how the Lexus gearbox works, but as Toyota dropped the centre diff as soon as they could on the Rav4, I doubt if there actually is one.

A long time ago, I read on some Russian forums about successful installation of a transfer box from Lada Niva into a Jimny 3, which gave full time 4WD with lockable inter-axle differential.
