I ran into a guy near Alpine, Texas who had a 2002 Wrangler with a Volvo
diesel. Looked like a neat installation, but I suspect the heavier
engine added a few pounds to the front axle load.
I've been thinking about it myself. Then again, I may just wait and see
what the next generation "TJ" looks like and what the engine options
will be.

I'm not a Volvo expert, but it was a 4-cylinder that said "VOLVO" on the
valve cover. The fellow it said it was a 4.8L and put out about 160hp.
He said he bought it new from an industrial equipment dealer and
fabricated his own adapters. He was just leaving a fuel stop as I was
pulling in, so we didn't talk very long. His TJ also looked like it
stood quite a bit higher than my stock 4-cylinder, so presumably he had
done some suspension work to carry the extra weight of the heavier
engine.
