Anyone have any info about a dual axle XJ? I was just wondering if it was feasible to do.

Dual axle? You mean a stock 4WD Cherokee?
All Cherokees, and damn near every Jeep have dual axles, front and rear...

No, not a stock XJ. Dual REAR axles and what is needed for the conversion

No you don't.
Some tcases can be adapted so the offset (front) output has a yoke on both the front and back. You then run a two-peice driveshaft and an offset second (tandem) rear axle.
It's pretty hardcore fab if you want to run anything but leaf springs. There was a 6x6 M715 on ifsja that was going to have dual 4-links in the rear. He scrapped the 4-links in favour of leaf springs just because it was going to be too much of a nightmare.

There's lots of offset axles out there to work with. As long as you want it to be passenger side drop. Landcruiser, landrover, Eaton (old chevy), oldschool cherokee/jeep, to name a few.
Or, you build the axles yourself. Which, if one is to attempt a 6x6 conversion I would hope that that isn't what they think of as a 'huge' deal.
It is a do-able project. It'll look gay as a couple guys in pink shirts and tight shorts with an XJ body. Or a wrangler body. Or most things.

This is silly.
If you have to ask how to do it you have no business thinking about it.
This can't be for real.

Check out USA6x6. They've done a lot of conversions including a green 6x6 Dodge pickup that was on the cover of "Four Wheeler" magazine. http://www.usa6x6.com/
ps. the custom 4 door TJ on their homepage is from my home county (pop. 10,000) back in Montana, and USA 6x6 happens to be located here in Lawton, OK where I currently reside....

They even tried to make it more authentic by moving the xxxpedition.com sticker to the roof rack, but the "www" is messed up just like the one on the rocker panel. Coincidence? I think not...
