Narrow Body Jeep Wrangler Looks Like a Cursed AI Creation
Witness the world's skinniest Jeep: a bizarre and inventive twist on the classic Wrangler that barely resembles the original.
A Slender Jeep in Morocco’s Auto Museum
At Morocco’s National Auto Museum, an unusual Jeep Wrangler stands out—a skinny, custom-built vehicle that turns heads for all the wrong, yet intriguing, reasons. From mint-condition K5 Chevy Blazers to military off-roaders, the museum is home to a spectrum of unique vehicles. Yet, none quite captures attention like this ultra-narrow Jeep Wrangler, which looks like it’s been halved and rebuilt for one slender purpose. Unlike its counterpart—a double-wide, eight-passenger Wrangler in the same museum collection—this Wrangler barely spans the width of a motorcycle, making it both a puzzling and amusing sight.
Minimalism
This unique Wrangler modification seems to defy physics. Dubbed “the world’s skinniest Jeep,” it has had most of its midsection removed, leaving a body so narrow that the signature seven-slot grille is gone, replaced by two headlights sitting mere inches apart, with the Jeep logo wedged tightly in between. According to photographer Mohamed Saber, who documented the vehicle in photos and video, this custom Wrangler has become a sensation online for its quirky look. Saber’s footage offers clear evidence that this Jeep is real—no digital editing here, despite its improbable proportions.
Creative Engineering Meets Mechanical Ingenuity
The ultra-thin Wrangler features a tandem seating arrangement with a passenger seat directly behind the driver’s seat. Given the limited space, the driver’s seat likely folds forward to allow access to the back, adding a level of quirkiness to its two-door layout. Even more surprising is Saber’s confirmation that the Wrangler retains its original 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. This engine, delivering 280 hp, is remarkably compact in the slender engine bay, fitting thanks to the ingenuity of the builder, who may have tilted the motor or otherwise modified it to fit.
Engineering Challenges and Handling
Beyond its compact body, this Wrangler poses serious engineering challenges, particularly with handling and stability. As a narrow, high-clearance vehicle, it faces a high risk of tipping due to its elevated center of gravity. Every turn requires careful maneuvering to prevent the vehicle from rolling, though it appears to be more of a whimsical build than a serious off-road contender. The Jeep drives smoothly across sand in Saber’s video, proving that while it’s eccentric, it’s not simply a static display.
A Collection of Contrasts
This skinny Jeep shares space with another extreme Wrangler at the museum—a massive, eight-passenger Jeep that’s double its width, made by joining two Wrangler bodies together. Both vehicles have Moroccan license plates with nearly matching numbers, a nod to their shared origins and the owner’s fascination with modifying Jeeps to such polarized dimensions. Together, these Wranglers symbolize an owner’s passion for the unconventional, highlighting just how flexible the iconic Jeep Wrangler can be in terms of customization.
