Cummins Turbo Diesel swapped 2012 JKU build

[Thegreenmachine12]

Hi y'all, new to the forum! Just wanted to start a build thread for my build.

I have a 2012 JKUR in Gecko. At 54,000 miles I had the Cummins 3.8L ISF Turbo Diesel swap completed by Bruiser Conversions. I love the swap. 275 hp/ 500 ft lbs of torque, and 30+ MPG. I also have a 6" Teraflex longarm suspension system and 37's with ATX Slabs.

I have pretty much changed everything except the axles, I have been riding on 37's with the Diesel and stock Rubi 44's. Recently, it has come to my attention that my front tube is bent. So, this week, I finally ordered a Dynatrac ProRock 80 for the rear and a ProRock 60 for the front with ARB Air Lockers. The axles are currently being built and I should have them by Christmas. At this time, I am going to stay with my 37's but I am planning on 40's for sometime in the future.

I also have many other little goodies but this is the bulk of my build. I will add a list of modifications below. Thanks for following my build and I hope to see y'all on the trail!

Why thank you! Yes I love the MPG, and the 500 ft lbs of torque at 1300 rpms doesn't stink either!

Next time I go through Pensacola I will be stopping by for my complimentary test drive. That is a dream build for me. I gave up my Dodge Cummins truck for my wrangler and miss my diesel engine. Great build.

Next thing you need is a warn zeon (;

That's an awesome engine swap. I'm so hoping Jeep builds a Diesel 4 door truck in 2018.

Any videos of it wheeling? I thought about going with a 4bt cummins in the 08 I had before I traded it in.

 

[Jknewbi]

Wow... 30mpg and 500ftlbs of torque... Very nice

Yep sure did!

 

[cozdude]

Holy lift! Why 6" and a 1" body lift!?

 

[JK_Dave]

I've been following you on IG for awhile now. I'd personally rather have your engine than a Hemi. Can you post up some pics of the axle swap when they come in?

 

[ljvsnyder]

So any chance we could get a sound clip from inside and outside the vehicle?
