Haven't done it myself, but those who have usually call it something like "best mod I've ever done". BTW, ViperBob (vbmotorsports@gmail.com) sells an entire kit to do this correctly and it's completely reversable if you don't like it.
Edited to add:
Seems the other necessary bit is an industrial strength LSD in order to keep all the wheels pointed the right way.

I did it once - inadvertently. Coming out of a fast and wet roundabout in Hemel Hempstead I gave it full beans (like only you can in a 4 when it's wet) only to realise that the 4WD had disconnected itself, it was a sphyncter puckering 80mph fishtail moment I can tell you!

Holy sh*******t, Batman! That must have been ... special. Any idea what caused the front shaft to "disconnect itself"?
