The donation was made courtesy of Feature Editor Jason Thompson, who (rightfully so) loves Project 300 more than this old ride. Thompson has made it very clear that I can do whatever I want with it (or at least that’s the way I interpreted it). Below is a list of options; one of them may decide this fine vehicle’s fate in the near future.
A) Roll it down a hill (an idea originally pondered by Thompson himself—to test the strength of a Jeep with no roof).
B) Drive it like you stole it.
C) For the love of God, find a diesel powertrain for it!
D) It’s gas-powered. Trash it, or strip and recycle it.
E) Leave it the hell alone! Thompson is the man—don’t mess with him.
A true pivotal point in Diesel Power Magazine’s history, YOU decide which option best suits a mechanically sound, (albeit altered in appearance) vehicle.
PS – Option E is very possible. Thompson is like the Zohan.
