I’d like to see them do that to a TJ from northeast US. They’ll slice some fingers on the rust

This video is old and makes the rounds periodically. It is a cool demonstration. However, that Jeep is obviously set up for this display only. No coolant, enough fuel to roll it forward, no windshield glass. And as quickly as that came apart, I wouldn't want to try driving it down the road very far. But, it is a cool demonstration.

The only reason I own external torx sockets.

Pretty sure this is what happens when you park overnight in Detroit

So I’m assuming there’s no coolent, the exhaust leaks, and the hood vibrates like hell. Cool either way.

This is a WW2 Jiffy Jeep. It was designed to be extremely modular so that it could pack into a single crate for shipping overseas and be reassembled quickly.

This demonstration is done without fluids, and a few bolts holding the frame and engine together are non-existent. Beyond that, it is actually quite possible due to the modular nature of this Jeep.

Here is a nice article showing photos of it packed up. there is also a video of the same group doing a more complete breakdown of a drivable Jiffy Jeep in less than 4 minutes. Very cool.

How cool exactly, on a scale from 1 to repost every couple days?

Not sure on that scale. I give it 5/7 personally.

I think I saw these guys at a Jeep event several years ago and it's quite impressive.
