Hello, I m living in spain and project to adquire an FJ, But here the gas is very expensive, and the actual engine seems to be exagered in consumation!
I hear, yes I "hear" that some persons write in few places that an Diesel Engine version is in project.
Once I wish to know if these information is established 0n real information from valuable and reability source, or only a projection of our wishes....
Please, clear this urban legend or give me some hopes...
Thank you very much.
Nope no diesel. Someone did put a 4.4 twin turbo diesel V8 froma LC70, but he spent more on the swap than he did the FJC. There are no plans from the factory as of now.
sad reality is i dont think that the us will ever get one. I think the only chance is if wrangler gets the diesel toyota will see how much people like it.

In Spain I would think the Toyota 3.0 diesel might work.
It is used in a lot of trucks with the 4.0 gas motor, so I would think fit would not be that much work...
Eh?

The diesel that the wrangler might get runs circles around the current V6. More HP (like 30 more i think) and well over 100ftpds more, and still gets better gas mileage. If chrysler (or should i say mercades) can get it to pass 50 state emmsions by 2011, then they will probblt have a winner. As long as its not a $7K option)

Its not that the motor won't fit, but that the 3.0 diesel motor is low on power. Also it won't come close to passing the emissions standards of north america.

Emissions. Small diesels have alot more restrictions when it comes to emissions in north america. Not so much in europe. This is why europe is plagued with diesels, and north america isn't (that and diesel is like $2 cheaper a gallon in europe than gas, and $1 more than gas in north america.
the guy is from Spain and English is obviously not his native language, cut him some slack!
