I noticed a lot of people are getting their 4g xooms back from moto then they are flashing solarnz new 3.2.2 stock image plus root. After doing so people are running into a ton of problems with wifi or 3g/4g connectivity.
It is very possible and easy to root your device and avoid the rom altogether.
First install clockworkMod(all credit to the Tiamat team)

This will both unlock your device and put clockwork recovery onto it.
Recovery Image (solarnz-R4c-100611-1150)
FLASHED THROUGH FASTBOOT
MD5: 20575d4b62bf697f77abca9093877ea3[/URL]
Make sure you are using the .img file (the one thats needs to be flashed via fastboot)
Method Without CWM
Download the recovery image (not the zip file)
Pull up your command prompt, then
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-solarnz-XXXXXX-XXXX.img
fastboot reboot
Let your Xoom boot up. Then to check out your shiny new recovery,
Code:
adb reboot recovery
You have to be careful to "catch the boot" into CWM recovery, or else you let the stock recovery overwrite it (and you'l be mad!!!). When you see the dual core logo, wait about 3 seconds then tap the volume down button (you will hopefully see android recovery in upper left) then tap volume up to choose it and you should be in CWM recovery...then you can

Once that is done you can use Solarnz Universal Xoom Root

after that is installed you will still be on stock 3.2.2, and it will be rooted.
No wifi issues 3g and 4g work perfectly.
The difference with this method as oppose to flashing a custom rom, is that this method will leave your current version intact and just adds root. Making this method the safest way to go from stock (any version) to rooted easily and quickly.
