It demonstrates the Jeep’s combination of simplicity and utility, and also the precision of the “take down” team.

The Jeep had to be rigged to do this.

Enjoyed that video.

However, I don't remember ever seeing anyone at our Motor Pool with that much enthusiasm or motivation. :)

I have a Jeep. I’ll have to send this to my auto mechanic.
Thanks!

They didn’t torque down the motor mounts very well.

They also didn’t reconnect the wiring harnesses.

We once rebuilt the T90 transmission on a jeep, replacing 2nd gear and all seals and gaskets, in 2 hours. Of course we used an engine hoist to pull the motor and never thought of just pulling the body off. :-)

I’m calling BS.

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

That looked like a CJ-5 which was still a pretty simple jeep for its day. Obviously, the engine mounts, fuel line, brakes, body mounts, etc. were modified. Still, a heck of a job by the crew.

Before reading the article, I am guessing that several thing were not "torn down," so that the word "completely" is fraudulent.

Engine.
Transmission.
Rear end.
I might be wrong for the first time this week.

Takes me four minutes to find my gas cap.

I had a patron who would receive quite regularly boxes from someone serving overseas. Heavy boxes. I was sure someone was shipping home a vehicle in order to reassemble it when they got home.

Just showed this to my husband.

He and my son have been working Saturdays on a broken down Cherokee. It’s taking them a bit longer.
