Pretty much 25k but that includes a lot...... shipping to and fro.....and all the extras......nothing was left out.
I really looked into the diesel option to just kept hitting roadblocks..... much more money and many more mods to get it to work. Not as easy plug and play on wiring, problems with steering shaft location etc....

Yes, That is one insane jeep. I have been thinking of trying to get someone to try and put a diesel in mine if its possible. i don't know that it would be or even if its a good idea. i just love diesels :P About how much would you say it cost you just for the engine swap?

Just curious, but would a 6.1L JK feel fast with 100 pounds of wheel and tire at each corner and the aerodynamics of a brick? It's probably a ton of fun, but for that kind of money, why not just have a Corvette and a built Rubicon (minus the 6.1L engine)?

Rubi with nothing on it is 30K

Way over budget
