US Military Pit Crew disassembles and reassembles a GP in well under four minutes

Short video at link.

For those who might not know, the name Jeep comes from G.P., or "General Purpose" vehicle. It went from inspiration to production in about a month or two.

Try doing this with a hummer!

I'm having deja vu when I see how complicated a hummer is compared to a jeep, and I think about German tanks vs. American or Russian. Sometimes quantity and/or simplicity wins.

tw at 6:21 pm EDT: I'm sorry -- changing headlines is advanced moderation. I'm still at the intermediate level. But per comments in the thread, please read headline as Canadian Military Pit Crew, etc.

#8  Entertaining. Prior to performing this bit of stage craft, a significant amount of prep work was done.

I've disassembled, rebuilt, modified and reassembled numerous Jeeps. No matter how well drilled the exhibition team was, there was a LOT of advance loosening and removal of a whole bunch of fasteners. Among other things.

#6  Pas problme, en Français québécois? Canadian isn't a language, "Canadian French" is how its generally refered to if done properly. Je demand a Celine Dion La chanteuse pour ton réponse. Elle dit "Jeep"
