Some of you know I kinda plan on putting my MB diesel in a wrangler one day. Well, this one makes my pants tight.
I don't know if those 44's are gonna handle the torque that beast puts out but oh man is this sweet. It looks like a very well done swap as well.

I can't tell from the pics, how is the Twin-Turbo Setup? I am guessing a sequential arrangement?

Nice truck, but I can't feel good about running a TT setup offroad, that's just asking for trouble...

That seems to be a popular swap. I'd love one.

Usually, yes - little one feeding a bigger one. 12V Cummins can make stupid amounts of power with that set-up. Over 1000 in a streetable truck is not unheard of at all.

A 4BT in a Wrangler is interesing... back when I was buying diesel truck mags, there was a feature on a similar truck using a early era Bronco. Apparently it'll easily get over 30 mpg.

I would like to do the 4BT in a YJ, but it get's expensive quick! That's the ONLY reason I want to do the MB diesel in a YJ. I already have the car, the frame does not need to be reinforced and the rest of the drivetrain can stay stock. The MB engine is much, much smoother as well. A diesel Jeep is my future, I've been living too long without a Jeep in my stable now.
