I have never seen anything like this, a military Jeep torn completely down and rebuilt in under four minutes. This isn’t some gimmick either, they drove it to and from the exhibition. While not "tech" related, this is definitely one of the coolest things you will see all day.

I thought about the repercussions. Think I’ll wait until after the tune-up.

I’m calling BS. I’ve pulled radiators before. Takes at least one wrench.

I call Pelosi or BS myself!

The article says the Jeep was completely taken apart, I only saw major components torn down.

Further I didn't see a fuel tank or the radiator, the radiator may have been in the front axle portion but the video didn't show a clear picture.

Finally, any vehicle that is taken apart like the video showed will have some type of liquid that drains out.

That took motivation, discipline, training, knowledge and some inherent engineering skill and not necessarily in that order. Absolutely awesome.

Well, you know it wasn’t a French team in operation. It would have turned into a donkey with severe arthritis.

Two lug nuts per wheel. That would work well on rough terrain.

Now I’ve watched it through three or four times and each time I get madder.

One thing I know when I talk to people is that they all, left or right, of whatever color they may be, say pretty much the same thing.

Good or bad, just tell us THE TRUTH.

And this is an obvious setup that misleads people.

If we need lies or exaggeration, we can always listen to the politicians or the MSM.

I saw the radiator come out and go back in...just before the hood was slapped on there.

In the comments someone was trying to figure out about the fuel connection

I also noticed comments about the wheels only having two studs and nuts. Real military Jeeps had left handed threads on the left side and right hand threads on the right side. All the nuts came off like right handed threads.

“The Jeep had to be rigged to do this.”

Improvise, adapt and overcome!

Still very cool!!

Well, I think this was more like a few at a time, but I wanted to remember to drive by that guy’s house and see what he was building!
