I think a lot of it is Chrysler. I like the J8 when I drove it, but talking with Dave at AEV Chrysler is making them import each piece from Egypt. I can't imagine the cost of shipping a vehicle from Eqgyt to the US in pieces.

i've got an order in for a new jk right now and plan on putting in a deisel as soon as the warranty is up... and doing what looks like most of the upgrades you have... it's been so long comming it that I am in a possition to call the entire deal off... if the price is right I'll take yours and just import it. PM me with what you are looking to get and perhaps we can make a deal.

If you want a diesel Fiat has announce they will be relasing a diesel Wrangler in the US in the fall of 2010. Might be worth the wait.

Never understood people doing diesel swaps. You can buy a low mileage 07/08 JK with 2.8 CRD in the UK for $19k. Why spend $30k just for an engine swap unless you already have some very serious upgrades on the JK you want to convert?

I wonder how many miles you will need to drive to see the payout on that?

Wow that thing is sweet! I would keep it. Also if you do sell it I think you can get top $ for it considering how rare it is. Again I would KEEP it if it were me and put 37s with the 4inch lift.

I know that post is old, but... the front Jeeperman bumper is so cool.

Where could I buy one of those today?



What a dream have a JK sound with a Diesel...
