M thinking about throwing a turbo diesel in my 01 sport xj any ideas, suggestions, or comments??

 

Do it. Report back. LOL

 

I was just having a conversation about how badass diesel swapped jeeps are. Go for it. Mercedes, cummins, or whatever you want to do.

 

Ah the smell of peer pressure, I love it. DO IT!

 

The vw diesel will be the lightest weight and make enough power.A 4bt cummins is 750lbs almost 200lbs heavier then the 4.0.I would skip a diesel and go ls a 5.3 truck motor and trans are cheap enough and can be built up pretty nasty of you want that.As far as mileage the ls and a diesel would be pretty close in the real world.

 

I hate diesels, Cherokees were available from the factory here in the UK with a 2.5 turbo diesel. They're noisy, smelly and slow. They also like a headgasket or three.

But each to their own!

 

People keep saying they are going to cut never do! I would love to see one. Problem is usually the weight. Plus with something like the LS, Novak makes it really really easy.
