How fast can you strip a Jeep and put it back together?

Not sure I would take it on a long trip or go wheeling with it the way they have everything finger tight. But pretty cool.

Cool, but I agree.  Everything is made to come off.  The hood had dosconnects and there were no inner fenders, no glass, etc...  The body is just sitting on some mounts.  No front driveshaft and the rear has some sort of simple setup that doesn't need bolts.  No transfer case either.  Notice, there is no gas tank and no coolant in the radiator.

I think they should use a barn find CJ-5 and try it again.  I'm sure it will take a bit longer.  :lol:

Pretty cool.  At the end it looks like they avoid turning the tires too much or maybe they are limited by something.

Turning the wheels puts a lot of lateral stress on the lugs.  So if your  lugs are hand tight it will cause them to loosen up.  Although, if they're tearing it down every 100yrds it won't matter much.
