Cool Bronco prototype

Frostbit - If you're referring to the 2007 Diesel, those came with a Mercedes-Benz low-sulphur engine. A friend told me they were released too early ahead of LS fuel availability and three hundred were still sitting sitting in Connecticut in a storage lot, unsold a year later. He got one at a great price. Loves it.

Agreed! We took a big risk buying the third Gen 3.0 diesel the first year in the Wrangler. So far so good. A big issue may be parts availability if something goes tits up. There are many 3.0 Wrangler specific parts not used on other Wranglers.

If I recall correctly it was $4K for the Diesel and 2K for the mandatory ZF 8 speed. It's been awhile though.

No it's an Italian VM Motori.
