The problem is all the engines in the order were shipped with the wrong power steering pumps, so Bruiser Conversions had to order new ones. My Jeep is pretty much complete, but it cannot even be driven until the new steering pumps come in. Once it is up and completely running, Jeff from Bruiser will drive the Jeep at least 300 miles to make sure the Jeep is perfect and that there are no defects. Then he can put their seal of approval on the Jeep. It is nice to see that they are perfectionists at Bruiser!

Yes, the ISF is the engine that they are using for the 2012-2015's, mostly because of the computer changes as well as being able to use the stock automatic because for the 3.6L engine, Jeep upgraded the automatic transmission to the Mercedes-Benz Nag1 which is capable of handling 800 ft/lbs +. For the 2007-2011 JK's, they use the 4BT or the ISB Electronically controlled 4BT and a 4L60E or an Allison 1000 transmission.

The body is back on the frame, here's what the engine looks like inside the engine bay. It's close to being done!

This build looks incredible.

Can you still register this as a street vehicle once the diesel is in? How does that work with emission testing, registration, etc.?

I'm lucky and I live in Florida where there isn't emission testing or tests

Greencrawler, your jeep is an inspiration for my dream some day. Maybe my Tj can evolve...

I'm drooling, right now, at those pictures
