according to their website they aren't doing XJ conversions...only YJ and TJ. They say they will develop an XJ kit only if there is enuf interest.
Not sure how much different an XJ swap could be though...

By reasonable i mean under $10k. Everytime i see one up for sale locally my eyes water. 
I've seen quite a few around 10k in San Diego. You know something is a good car when the rich people who could afford something much newer are still driving and caring for them all over the place
