I love the idea of the JK 2.8 diesel - 130kw same as 4.0 petrol 460nm, 1.5 times the torque at much lower revs, how good would that be.

add the 5 speed auto with a much lower first gear than the 4sd and greatly improved economy.

it gets good raves from magazines testing the 1900kg unlimited JK, an XJ is 300 kg lighter.

Now if i could find one at an attractive price and do as per the link to diesel magazine
