Default No Rubi Diesel in UK ???

I just was on the Jeep UK site and noticed that the CRD is only available in Sports and Sahara's. The ONLY RUBICON option in UK is 2-DR Rubicon with 3.8 GaS engine and Automatic Transmission. Can't even get Manual in UK ...

That would suck if Diesel came out in US for non-Rubi only ...

Also .. unlike the US Jeep site which is full of Half-Door JK's ... all JK's on UK site are full-door ... so I assume no Half-Doors in UK either.

Forget the candy-ass European stock JK diesel. Less hp than our 3.8 V6

If you want a diesel, it should be a model with more hp.

It won't be for tomorrow... our environment laws in USA and Canada suck

Horsepower is not all that matters when you got sh*t loads of torque
A simple remapping of the ECU or a piggyback setup pushes easily the CRD to around 205-210 hp, no hassles with the cat-DPF or reliability issues.
