There, you'll find everything from mint condition [K5 Chevy Blazers]() and military vehicles to custom [Jeep Wranglers]() that have either doubled in size or been halved, like our example here. The builder seemingly cut the middle out of a Wrangler and put the two outside halves back together, creating one of the most visually confusing vehicles I've ever seen. We've known about the museum's [double-wide, eight-passenger Jeep]() that's made from two nearly complete Wranglers fused at the hip, like some David Cronenberg creation. However, this ultra-narrow version, which we were reminded of this week thanks to footage of it on the move shared by [Mohamed Saber](), is the exact opposite. This is the Jeep equivalent of throwing out every slice from a loaf of bread and keeping only the ends. It's so slender that the pair of headlights are about an inch apart. The spare tire mounted on the tailgate is almost as wide as the entire body. It's unsettling, but also hilarious. > [View this post on Instagram]() > [A post shared by Mohamed Saber (@saberdrives)]() There are only two tandem seats in the half-pint Jeep, with a passenger seat behind the driver's. I'd hope the driver's seat folds forward to allow passenger ingress, as this is a two-door Wrangler. Imagine if they tried this with a long one. ![]() *Screenshot* ![]() *Screenshot* ![]() **SaberDrives via YouTube** I have no idea what powers this thin Wrangler, though. There's no way the JK-generation Wrangler's typical 3.8- and later 3.6-liter V6 engines are fitting in that narrow bay. Perhaps some sort of tiny inline-four? Could the engine be tilted upward, too, indicated by the massive slanted hood bulge? And since it regularly drives in sand, with video to prove it, it would seem that its four-wheel drive is still fully functional. Whoever is building these mutant Jeeps isn't just silly—they're also mechanically creative to get them to work. In the YouTube video below, also courtesy of [Saber](), you can see both of these extraordinary Wranglers cruising in sync through the desert at around the 3:45 mark, with a normal example in the middle for comparison. Saber could be dropping info on their powertrains, but if so, the language barrier makes it hard to parse out. But that's beside the point—I need to drive that half Jeep *now*. It's a new life goal. https://youtu.be/3y2RlobXoFo?si=IhFCQNvXDI7G_K33&t=168 *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
