This Jeep Cherokee XJ conversion features a Mercedes OM617 turbo diesel engine swap, chosen for its similar size to the stock 4.0L and diesel efficiency. The build details significant mechanical challenges, including engine failures and custom fabrication for drivetrain, cooling, and auxiliary systems. Despite an estimated cost of $6,000-$7,000, the project successfully retains factory functions and achieves 24-27 MPG.
