An engine like the duramax is WAY to heavy for a car like a TJ. Even in a car like a 100 series cruiser they change the way the car handles. You would have to spend 1000's upgrading and changing the suspension, diffs etc

A TJ isnt something id really consider a tourer or a tow'er so the benifits of a large diesel to me are kinda pointless. Maybe in a 4door JK but for the 2 doors you cant really go past the good old LS series. Alloy blocks, easy wiring, good support and very simple mods can get you well over 300kw.
