Default Natural gas conversion

Has anyone attempted to convert their JK over to natural gas? Just wondering what the results were and what the price tag was.

Seen one at EJS last spring. They were the trail leaders on the Elephant Hill run when we did it. They seemed happy with it. Myself I wouldn't have that tank inside my vehicle. (Insert Ford Pinto joke here)

There are a lot of vehicles that have been converted to propane gas so there are probably many conversion kits available. I just don't know what the attraction is, the fuel price is about the same and you have to figure out where to mount the tank. The crawlers that I have seen on propane use small bottles as they aren't going very far.
