       Well, it takes me longer than that to change 4 spark plugs. But, is it really ready to go off roading ? I think they left off a bolt or 2 LOL

Kewl, but....I don't think I'd wanna go too far in it...

I've seen similar presentations where they completely strip a vehicle down to the frame in less than 10 minutes, showing how well organized some of the "chop" shops are. Of course, most of the bolts are already out, or loose for the demonstrations, but they never cop to it.

I gotta give the guys with the Jeep a Thumbs Up....that's a TEAM!

This is supposed to be how the WWII Jeeps could be broken down in the field for quick replacement of an Assembly rather than trying to fix small parts that required a lot more disassembly and reassembly. Exactly how accuratly this simulated that, I'm not sure off.
It's pretty cool anyhow.
