You just have to cough up some cash for the kit.

go to a junk yard and check out how the ZJs are put together and work on fabbing your own stuff. But IMO it would be better just to buy a used ZJ...

People have done it plenty of times. Just takes a lot of time, money and fab skills. Look at the front of your XJ and figure out how to mount all that stuff (besides steering components) on the back
