I'd extend that further to a TJ/LJ build as well. These aren't really meant for newer JKs considering the emissions requirements (DEF, etc)
A lot of people seem to forget that torque and horsepower range means more than the overall numbers. If your motor is putting out 300ftlbs of torque at 2700 rpm versus 6000rpm that's a big difference. When was the last time you revved up to 6k in the rocks? Diesel JKs would be great.
I'd rather have 300lbs of torque in an area I'm consistently driving opposed to my overdrive passing gear.

This is true but for most diesels 3000-3200 is redline. I have no idea where they would set it on this particular motor but most diesels do not have the ability to go to rpm like that so its still not really optimum in my opinion. Just a consideration as well.
Torque: 267 lb-ft @1500-3000 RPM*
161 hp @ 3600*RPM

I think diesels are a much better fit for JK's (at least for us wheelers).
We don't need high horsepower, rather torque off road.

That makes sense if all your Jeep is used for is off roading, I would want it in a daily driver that needs to be on the highway 90% of the time, but on that note it's pretty impractical to have 37s on a DD that is 90% highway too.
On another note, at work recently we've been getting more and more diesels and I hate the smell, I would not want to be near one all day, they smell horrible and are annoying. I can see why people like them but it's not for me. Give me a LS3

Everyone must have missed the point, that this is designed to meet 1999 and prior years emission standards, so it isn't for the JK, anyway.

We have 4 2011+, 3/4-1ton pickups at work. 1 Ram and 3 Fords. With the new emissions regulations they don't smell at all. Aren't crazy "rattly" like the old diesel motors. They make great horse power and torque. Unfortunately I doubt you could get the 6.7L Super Duty engine in a JK...haha. The only downfall with these motors is how restricted they are with all the emissions junk in them. If you took it off I bet it'd free up another 100HP.That makes sense if all your Jeep is used for is off roading, I wouldn't want it in a daily driver that needs to be on the highway 90% of the time, but on that note it's pretty impractical to have 37s on a DD that is 90% highway too.

This. Maybe one day they'll offer a conversion that meets 1999+ emissions with a bit more HP and torque.Everyone must have missed the point, that this is designed to meet 1999 and prior years emission standards, so it isn't for the JK, anyway.

Yes I watched the video and did some research it made me look for an older jeep to fit the engine in. I used to drive a series 2 light weight military jeep at work with a cummins engine and it was fun.

Here in Victorville there are 1000's of diesel VW's sitting in purgatory after their emission scandal. It's too bad.
