I was looking into this. As far as I know there is one kit available for the conversion and it has to be installed by the kit manufacturer... And it's not cheap. I believe it was more expensive than the hemi swap

Default 4bt

A company called diselbruiser.com installs them for $21K. They subcontract to a few others to do the installs. I know RiverRaider does the install. They will not sell the kit by itself and they only do turnkey installs. Hope this helps.

they actually do sell the kit by itself (unless they changed that in the past couple of months). i want to say its somewhere around 7500 bucks for the kit. and brusier is a brand name that jeff's jeep yard is using.

I'm in the same boat. I am leaning more toward the 4bt though. I have a long time to think it over anyway, lol.

By that time the diesel version of the Wrangler will be in the US. I think they are talking 2013 model year.

I was considering a 4bt swap for a long time, but the cost of the swap would be too much and i was even conidering the engine swap from a Liberty diesel, but that'd be about 23k, theres a shop in TX that does that, so i'm still going w/ the supercharger. even though i havent taken the plunge yet.. one of the reasons i'm going with the supercharger is, if i have the supercharger PLUS add headers and exaust the torque would be...380lbft of torque. that personally is enough more more than enough torque for me.

I like the 4BT for the combination of power and gas mileage
