    Willy's Jeep pulled apart - rebuilt in under 4 mins

    Try doing this with a modern 4WD ; )


    "Want proof the Willys Jeep -- the original military-spec off-roader -- was a work of
    engineering genius?

    Watch six soldiers drive up, hop out, tear one apart, put it back together and drive away in
    four minutes."

    Brilliant!

    That was very good - well rehearsed and well executed. A real crowd pleaser.

    …and for a mate of mine it took two hours just to change a light bulb on his ***** Renault.
    I like the way they jacked up the Jeep. Teamwork can make life much easier.

    I've seen a display were two army cadet teams race each other doing the same to two Jago Jeeps. It was very good, considering they were just kids (all under 18).

    Awsome.

    Plenty of preparation there but still it started and drove to and away from were they pulled it down so by all means it was amazing.

    I think they may just have a little too much time on their hands.

    I would like to see them do it that fast with a Humvee

    There is a 12 hour time laps chassis change on a Series III 88" on You tube that I've seen.

    Almost as good as that.

    By the way, thats not a Willys, thats a Jeep (brand) CJ5 military, just a newer version of the old Willys and Ford Jeeps.

    Cheers Casper

    More on the Land Rover theme.

    This is a bunch of LR Enthusiasts that I met in Nova Scotia in 2008 - a great bunch of guys showing some real Land Rover cameraderie.

    A multi part series - the first few are about gathering the parts and Part 4 is 'The Build'
    Part 4 [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPNa2zLtMvc"]88 in a Day - episode 4 - YouTube[/ame]

    Hope you enjoy watching and maybe it'll inspire some of us to complete that resto we've been working on for years
