This is not a conversion I would recommend for someone who doesn't know anything about engine conversions...

I do all my own work on the jeep and have for 35 years and that conversion scares me.

To make it worthwhile you'd want the D4d version, the older ones were slugs, but the D4d is all electronic controlled just like every other modern diesel which is why they can get such good performance and economy numbers from them and it is this reason it will be very difficult and expensive to do.
The physical part will be the easiest part of the whole thing....

If you had a hilux written off sitting next to the jeep & transferred everything over to the jeep,it may be possible. The wiring & computers would need to come from the hilux. You would need to probably use a manual trans.
I dont hate myself enough to try a conversion like that !

I have heard of people in the USA putting Mercedes 300D engines in jeeps.
