Check Out This Wild Steam-Powered Jeep Wrangler 6x6 For Sale
Check Out This Wild Steam-Powered Jeep Wrangler 6x6 For Sale-January 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:46

For sale: a massive, huge, six-wheeled, fire-and-smoke-and-steam-breathing Jeep. Steam powerplant not included.

The big boiler is headed back to a steam power museum, while the rest of the Jeep is going up for sale at Pennsylvania’s Haük Designs.

What you get is not the V4 steam engine that manages to consume a 55-gallon tank of water to move the vehicle up to 1.5 miles, as reports, but you do get the rest of the six-wheel-converted Wrangler.

This means that sadly you will not be able to say that your Jeep gets a worst-in-class 0.03 miles per gallon (of water), but it’s still a strong choice for your driveway.

Also yes, it’s a six-speed manual.

More to the point, the idea of going with steam power just seems inherently right for a vehicle like this. Off-roading, particularly in Pennsylvania, kind of has a reclaim the old ways kind of vibe to it. You’re getting back into the feel of when going to work meant throwing levers and engaging actuators and doing big power things with big power machines.

A six-wheel drive Jeep is really the ideal vehicle to get you to the smelting factory at the top of a quarry, or whatever other work fantasy you might have. Just look at it power forward with absolute authority. A diesel truck looks at this thing with envy.

Price is on inquiry , but watch the above videos of the Jeep in action before you think about what powerplant should go back into this thing. Steam doesn’t seem like the worst idea.

The 2020 Hyundai Palisade Is Kind of Astoundingly Luxurious
The isn’t the bargain-basement large-medium three-row SUV I was expecting. Well, it is an eight-seat sport utility and it’s definitely not small. But it’s also really nice. The top-spec Limited version, actually, is almost shockingly luxurious. Hyundai is not messing around here. (: Hyundai flew me to Spokane, Wash....

At $2,600, Could This High-Mileage 1994 Jeep Cherokee 4WD be a Good Sport?
At $2,600, Could This High-Mileage 1994 Jeep Cherokee 4WD be a Good Sport?
We all can’t be David Tracy, the guy that has people tossing Jeeps at him like singles at a stripper. We can however consider today’s Cherokee Sport which has something even Tracy might crave, a 5-speed stick. Let’s see if that’s worth paying more than just David Dollars. Okay,...

At $5,000, Does This 1993 VW EuroVan MV Totally Mean it’s Van Time?
At $5,000, Does This 1993 VW EuroVan MV Totally Mean it’s Van Time?
In case you haven’t noticed, prices on VW Vans have been creeping way up of late. Today’s EuroVan is still pretty cheap, but that may be because it’s not very pretty. Could that still make it a pretty attractive deal? I don’t know about you, but I find it...

This Dealer's Retro 1970s Ford F-150 Package Brings Back The Beautiful Trucks We've Lost
The past is back in a big way, folks. Don’t worry, disco is still very much dead and high crime rates don’t seem to be making a comeback, but two-tone F-150s with chrome racks and HiLites are, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it. This retro package, called...
