My new eco-friendly car

Big Sarge · 07-31-2012, 05:42 PM

I bought a new (new to me) car today. It is eco friendly and runs on bio diesel or just about anything else. I ended up with a 1969 Kaiser Jeep M35a2 (Deuce), multi-fuel with a a metal cargo box. I'm going to convert it into a camper. The great thing is I can drive it just about anywhere after I add the deep water fording kit. Plus, I have a winch that can pull down a house!

AWESOME!

Is there another one like it, 'cause Zippy needs to replace the Riverpig.

In fact, for your camper conversion, Zippy may have some parts ... in Arkanas ...

And thanks for checking in, I was wondering how you were going.

I'm getting ready to go to Camp Shelby in about a week for some more duty. My unit has really been great providing me with work.

Nice!

That's a serious vehicle! You could build a small house on the back.

Awesome Sarge!

Congrats, Sarge. It looks... formidable.

What's it get, about four gallons to the mile?

... per axle

Depends on what sort of "anything else" you put in the tank.

Well, since it is a second-hand vehicle, it's already doing well. It takes a lot of energy and resources to make a new car - even a prius.

And if he does run it on biodiesel, it would be greenhouse neutral. And smell like a chip shop.
