Hey! This is something I'm considering doing.... my bro runs dual fuel in his f150.. and its pretty sweet.... Paying pretty close to $2.50 per gallon of propane.. even with some decreased economy... it's well worth it.
So I'm ressurecting this thread... Main thing I would like to get from it is tank options.
Anyone know of a tank that could mount in the muffler space?
Or would it be legal / advisable to do some kind of low profile tank on a roof rack? or maybe in the cab?
I suppose you could do some canisters on either side of the spare tire..... but I'm worried about impact there.

Found this for the 3.6 .... I know that the tuning between the 200 and wrangler is probably different..... but still, this is probably a good starting place.

tank size
It can be done for around 5k in the states. The only issue will be mounting a tank of sufficient size somewhere. Tanks can only be filled to 80% of water capacity, ie 26 gallon tank = 21 gallons of fuel. Mpg usually stays the same to 10% less. LPG right now in my hometown for road fuel is $1.26. PRINS makes the best systems on the market. Conversion can be done just the tank issue is all I see.
