Dodge Nitro (Libery) with a 5.7L HEMI. WOAH, that's awsome. Chrysler should
build em both. In limited form at least.

[martinsburgjeep]

yeah, I'd be all up on that

[Millermagic]

That's NICE

[Unlimited04]

if jeep would put that 4.2L Cummins in a Rubicon Unlimited JK like i keep hearing about....i'd probably have to buy one

I don't think it would fit, I know the Rubi your talking about and I think it actually had the 3.0 under the hood

[Elwood]

That 3.0 would be fabulous!

Sign me up!!!!

[mca1977jpsnet]

Rumor I heard from a co-worker that went to 2006 sema was that this JK concept had not a cummins 4.2 6cyl, but a 4.2L derived 3.0L v-6 Mercedes Common Rail diesel.

Before that I read that it was a read that is was a simple mis-print with folks at SEMA.

Which version is true IDK.

One thing for sure is a Diesel JK 4-door would be AWSOME!!!

Kill the monochromatic paint scheme and I'm there.

i know it was really a 3.0...but screw that! the rumor (and sign at SEMA) said 4.2L Cummins. (misprint or not!)
they also claimed a D44 front and D60 rear.

you can fit a Viper V10 in a TJ, then there shouldn't be a problem shoehorning a diesel in a JK.

either way i'd like to see HP D44 front, D60 rear, 300 ft-lbs turbo diesel in a 2-door 105-107" wheelbase, with lockers. i'd definitely buy it

I beleive that it is the Common Rail Diesel. There has been talk about Mercedes making this diesel that would work well for the U.S. market/emissions.

I wish these rumors would stop and DC would just make a diesel option for the wrangler. They might not sell enormous amounts of them, but a sizeable portion would be bought.

[Tim Berry]

Put it in one of these - sell like hotcakes:
