He bought it used from a guy who worked at Bunrsville Offroad / Park Jeep that had already done the swap. Last I heard the diesel conversion was about $30,000 plus or minus depending on the conversion rate the day you buy the components.

Wow.. 30 thousand. You only have to drive it for 3 million miles to pay for itself. But I would still do it anyway..

Exactly! There are some real dumb sh!ts making these decisions. They put a 5.7 in a station wagon (Magnum) and not in a Jeep? They put a 6.1 in a 300, but not a diesel in a Jeep? Argh!

To the OP... I think I hate you.

yea I noticed that on the last pic

is the Jeep imported? the wiring for the rear lights are not the same for US models! I can't imagine you changed that

but then I look at the front of the Jeep and you have the US model headlights and marker lights!

I don't get it

did you swap out the front headlights and marker lights? when the Jeep was imported? or swapped the wiring for the rear lights and changed the lights as well?

That's a bad ass Jeep man
