WOW. Just wow. It wouldn't be nearly as impressive if they didn't literally drive up in the thing and then drive off after they finish!

It would be more impressive if there was coolant in the engine, hoses to disconnect, fuel lines, and how do they get those axles out so quick? How did they get the steering column out in less than 30 seconds??? Makes me want a Jeep!

That was amazing. Those were designed to be fixed on the battlefield.
I spent more time this evening on one bolt on my fender...I still have 4 to go before I can take that one fender off....dang. Of course my bolts have been untouched for 55 years....

Amazing but I wonder how it was prepped before this, I seems like they were only putting two nuts on each wheel stud.

No water or brake fluid,fuel was probably in a small hidden tank . Finger tight bolts and quick release pins . Exaust pipe was hanging down as they came in,but was still hot, I never saw which one had gloves on for that. I bet they never drove it very far. Very well done though for a short intertainment show. Those little jeeps were built simple and tuff .
