Don't know of any off-hand, but one of the print rags did one a few months ago
and a guy or two on the XJ Digest have done this swap on the XJ.  Big
difference in swapping one in a TJ over a YJ or XJ since the TJ has more
brackets to move or fab, but the width is right if you use an 8.8 from a 95-up
Exploder - and the bolt pattern will retain the stock 5x4.5" TJ pattern... and
the '95-up Exploders have rear discs.
