Dem 3/53's are good for some noise, I was surprised to see it pull anything uphill though. [Tooth]
No need to build one, Jeep made and sold them until 2007.

28mpg and this 2005 is only $12k
Now it is no CJ or YJ.. but then again I don't really like Jeep... LOL ;)
There's also the mini-version... a VW 1.9L TDI in a Suzuki Samurai...
supposed to be good for around 40mpg
but if you're over 6', you'll have to lose some height somewhere...
i used to build quite a few jeeps for family and friends. we put a diesel in a cj. i cant remember the numbers but it was a cummins out of a bark grinder. i think they have the same as the skid steers. it wasnt too heavy for a diesel.
of course it had a 60 front and 70 rear. full width.
That'd be an awesome setup!Quote:

I've wanted to put a 4BT (or even 6BT- long & heavy, tho) into the wife's '97 Suburban (it's a 2500, already has hydro-boost steering)
You can get this new Jeep J8 in diesel, military spec

Only Jeep I'd want a diesel in is a M715. Jeep did make a CJ5 in diesel called a DJ5 export only. My old '67 CJ6 had a Buick 225 V6,,the Dauntless. Was an odd fire V6,replaced it with a 4.3,,and a NP435 4sp.
When Buick sold the 225 V6 to Jeep.they sold the aluminum V8 215 to Land Rover.
Have you seen this, the "new" M715 (prototype) was at Moab this year:Quote:

it looks very comanchee ish. but, i would take it.
i like the protos they showed a few years ago. i cant remember if they were tjs with the bed or jks but either way, it would be cool.
and the one we did was a 4bt. and someone sells the kit to bolt it up.
Prototype looks nice with a small bed. Was that a diesel? It would be an improvment over the 3.7

Any specs on that new M715? Is just a Hummer with a new body?
Looks front heavy.
They're calling it the NuKizer (sp?) I don't have the specs, but I think they said it's a current gen Wrangler underneath. Google it

I love the idea of the Jeep but not the driver so much, I do a lot of off-roading and don't like it when guys mess up the environment like he did (hitting trees, etc), it's just another reason for the tree huggers to close a trail.

no wonder the tree huggers want to close more trails.
