Additionally, i think he is geared super low for that engine to shine in this configuration. He has 5.38s on 37s with a NV3500 and a low range atlas. This negatively affects him on the highway portion. But lets be honest, 3-5mpg is still an increase either way.

I agree diesels take a little while to break in and trust me that's the route i want to go with my TJ rubi, but price has to come in to play sometime. If the kit comes in below 10k, i very well may buy two. I love the fact diesels run cooler, can idle all day burning less fuel, give you...

As much as i want one of these for my 05 rubi, price is what is going to sell me on this kit or make me run to find a gm v8. The video was great (watched it this morning as it FINALLY came out), but at the end the kicker was 18mpg for the diesel, 16ish for the 5.3 gm v8 and 13ish for the 4.0L...

Great news but I'd happily settle for the stripped diesel professional.

Thanks for checking for me and thanks DEFENDERBEAM also. I guess the 50qt will be 12-13 pounds lighter too. All the weight adds up after a while. My other travel vehicle is a Yukon XL, so space is not a problem in that...

Quick question for you. Do you think the 82qt fridge would fit if you didn't have the table/molle gear in the back? I'm about to pull the trigger, and i may go back to a JK here in the near future so i want to know whether or not I should do the 50qt vice 82? Thanks.

One here. I have loved all 4 of mine. Great trucks and last forever with proper maintenance.

^^^what he said. I am a diesel fanatic and have been for years. I've been saying diesel will explode in America for the better part of 15 years now. Where manufacturers are screwing themselves is only offering these engines on luxury models. If I could get a cloth seat grand Cherokee, I no...

Yeah i believe the UAJK that was built by petersons had the frame rails cut into the body. After posting my last post i researched other small diesels, for example the 2.8L cummins and the 3.3L cummins. The 2.8L seems to have a lot of promise but as usual, probably not going to be offered in...

Metcalf, I am just now seeing this thread, but your idea is exactly what i have been looking at building. I have gone back and forth with the very same ideas as you have. When reading the opening post i felt like it was something i wrote haha. What i have come up with is this: Buy a salvage...

I'm a long time GMC/Chevy fan for the trucks, but did they test the new ram with the 3.0 diesel? Towing/empty fuel economy numbers would probably be significantly higher. On duty and cannot open the link. The gov't says it's forbidden.

I went through the FRS (fleet replacement squadron) out in Lemoore, CA. I left January 2012 to head to the east coast. We used to fly through Panamint, Saline and Owens valley. There is a low level route that travels right by Eureka dunes. I wanted to drive through before i left but never...

Clean trailer build. Looks like you put a lot of work into painting. Paint job looks great.

I have been really impressed with my A.R.E. Z-series cap. I got the fold down front window and the built in roof rack and this thing is burly. I actually had three kids from a guy in my squadron climb on my truck and jump up and down on the roof last Saturday and while I was super pissed, I...

That's why when I get back from this deployment I'm going to buy a diesel GC for the wife (swapping out her Mercedes for it) and boost GC sales so I can get a factory diesel wrangler in 3 more years! Tell me that isn't dedication. I recommend everyone else do the same.

Yeah i get really frustrated people hating on this guys awesome swap. He's not trying to market it, he just wants to show us what he's done. I'm all about constructive criticism, but there's a few veteran dudes on here flaming him for no reason. I think the forum is better when people show...

I just got done test driving the '13 Audi Q7 TDI. Man that thing is amazing and will be my next purchase if the jeep diesel doesn't live up to it's hype. My question is whether or not the diesel will be offered in the base models too or will it only be offered in the Overland models. If so...

Thanks man that may keep me and my truck out of there then.

My mom lives in blairsville. Never got to do Beasley knob with any of my jeeps since we normally take the SUV or my truck. Could a reg cab long bed 2500hd make it through? Heard they are pretty tough trails.

Hey Larry, yeah i was a little worried about spending all of the money on the truck but i trade trucks very often (about once a year it seems), so i 'll probably have another jeep in a few months. If i didn't just buy my mom a Mini Cooper, i would have one right now. The DEF hasn't been a...
