I'd like to see them do that on an XJ with Torx bits, inverse Torx bits, rusted bolts, emergency brake cables, brake lines, shock absorbers, a dashboard and steering column to remove, a unibody, a much heavier drivetrain, an exhaust system that can't be removed with the engine, electronics, etc...
still pretty amazing, but definitely orchestrated to the max and probably even pre-prepared for the event, I'd be surprised if there was a single cotter pin on that rig or if every fastener was fully tightened and hadn't been checked beforehand.

I think it's awesome. Sucks the lug nuts seem to take the most time out of the whole process.

definitely staged (the tub wasn't bolted back down) but still cool

Not quite sure how that engine was being cooled--note the absence of coolant?

Air cooled?

Of course it was staged lol, it's a group of people in uniform doing a performance. It wasn't like a group of guys cruising in their jeep and something broke and they suddenly in the middle of the road tore it down and rebuilt it spontaneously.

I would classify it as a field strip ha.

That's the impression I got from this, there is either a lot removed from the jeep at the start or many things have been modified to make removal faster/easier.

I think its pretty obvious that some things are missing--frame to tub bolts, etc.
With my bad hearing I can't even tell if it is actually a running internal combustion engine or a wind up toy.

Speed bump at 10mph would take it apart even faster I bet.

What's that thing underneath it? At first I thought it was the exhaust hanging but now Idk.

Well, I will give them AAA+ for style points no matter what the tech is.

I agree, it was a great show. Just must do it quite often given the way it pops apart. I also liked the pipes used to lift the engine and transmission that stow on the frame and the purpose built jackstands and pivot points on the frame.
By the way, did anyone see a battery or battery cables anywhere for the starter? Perhaps it was just mounted to the engine assembly.
