FCA won't commit to re-engineering the JT for RHD, plenty of speculation about it not fitting with RHD but as the stock petrol is a V6, I believe its more a dollar return on investment thing as in the USA it's around a $5k option.
So here in Oz $5kau would be on top of the current $85k asking price for a Rubicon (given all Oz TJ's are auto) not many would opt for diesel in my opinion.

Best we can hope for I think is a 4xe version of the JT with 280kw and 637-Nm, with a range of about 640km I would defiantly consider it.
Cost would be the biggest hurdle one would think.
