Default TJ questions about LPG on the gold coast.

Hello everyone. Its been a while since I've been here. I used to own a kj Cherokee crd (bloody cheap to run!) And have since had to sell due to financial reasons. Been driving a little run about and have been dreaming of a TJ wrangler. As I've wanted one since I was young. Now I have a few questions (apologies in advance, I did search, but was hard to find specifics)
I want to budget around 10k I have seen 2001-2004 models with ks around 110,000ish for around 6500. But I'd also want to get it converted to LPG (and yes I'm aware that it would take a long time to break even with costs, but I'd plan on keeping it for quite some time as I think its the best looking jeep out there

Now should I get mixer or injected? Is there much price difference? Is there much point keeping the fuel tank, or is it best to replace with LPG to keep storage inside the car? (Its only me and the missus, no kids)
And most importantly.... Cost? How much would I be looking at? I remember reading somewhere that lots of gas installers don't touch older jeeps? Can anyone recommend someone on the gold coast/Brisbane area to call or go see?
Any help much appreciates! Thanks so much everyone
Again I apologize for bringing up an old topic, thanks for your patience.

Injected is better but you will need to do around 200'000 just to break even. Then you loose a HEAP of space in the car. Injected is more than twice the cost of a mixer system.

If your worried about fuel costs then a jeep isnt your car
