I personally think a lifted 4-door wrangler would be extremely badass with a diesel in it... like a cummins.

That would just scream intimidation.

Im a diesel technician so honestly a diesel in it would be better in my opinion, but i already have the LS1 in my camaro, and I kinda want to start a project motor build so who knows wat is going to happen. I would prefer diesel (cummins 5.9liter) engine over any engine on earth.
