Steam-powered Jeep JK 6-wheeler.

Beneath the hood, the Jeep is home to a relatively tiny 100ci V4 trunk-piston, poppet-valve uniflow steam engine from the 1960’s. It only produces between 130 hp and 140 hp, but churns out a remarkable 2,500 lb-ft of torque! This engine was designed and built by Charles Keen for the Keen Steamliner 2 automobile sometime around 1960.
