Man that was amazing!

But, my grandfather would have chewed them a new one for not putting the loose nuts in a bowl or something. :lol::lol:

It would be interesting to see how they have the Jeep rigged up to come apart so quickly, particularly in the drive train.

It looked to me like the tubing/pipe they used to lift and carry the drive train slid through mounts along the sides of the frame to secure it.

Yeah, good call. What I wondered about was how they connected the tranny output shaft to the driveshaft.

I would imagine they have them setup to mesh right in with each other. Obviously the Jeep isn't meant for road speed driving.
Either way, they have my mechanical abilities beat hands down.

It doesn't make sense. They don't disconnect fuel lines, clutch or trans linkage, steering gear, wiring, brake lines..........

I've seen that happen (the disassembly part) to an 82 Honda Accord in South Philly many years back.

I think I'd have to look that Jeep over to see what was done to it. If you noticed, they also had the radiator out as a separate piece, but you don't notice it till it's going back in.

Like you, I would love to get a close up of what was going on there.
