    Jeep design brilliance

    Willy's Jeep

    This is quite impressive! About 6 soldiers pull up on a main street in Halifax , Nova Scotia on some holiday. They're in a standard issue WWII type Willys Jeep. In the span of about 4 to 5 minutes they completely disassemble the vehicle and reassemble it and drive off in it fully operable! The idea being to show the genius that went into the making of the jeep and its basic simplicity. Fantastic.

    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Hi Vlad I saw a group of girls do that with an earley model commodore in Northland shoping centre about 30 years ago. I don't what the storey was but they were big news for a while.

    Take it for what it is...teamwork/communication above anything else. They'd have drilled that over and over again.

    Good stuff.

    I'd love to know how they start it as it appeared that there was no wiring involved. Then how do they stop it as there was no brake connection or bleeding.

    Dave.

    I get the general idea of it and think its great.
    Not very realistic but great none the less.

    I had a Jeep Cheroke and must say, very basic.
    rear drums, plastic everything and push pull switches, warping exhaust and ancient donk 4L straight six.
    Bit like our landies were really but not as good off road but pleanty of poke from the motor though.
