At today’s exchange rate, Canada’s 90 seconds would need to hup hup hup to be worthy of what the US does in a minute.

Prove me wrong.

Modified M38A1 Willys MB for those wondering.

Its neat to see but Its a little hollow for me knowing:

1. there is no coolant

2. there is only enough fuel in the bowl to start, stop, start

3. There are no nuts, only bolts it seems.

i.e. if you can’t go from field usable to stripped to field usable again, this is just an academic exercise .

I watched the whole thing just to analyze this very thing.

Also no brakes or steering. The only thing the need to connect is what? a wiring harness and one of the driveshafts?

Also helps that the throttle is integrated with the engine/transmission and the floor is been removed.

That warhead looking thing in the back is a big metal cone on the chassis (which can be seen in the video) The body isn’t even attached in the rear, it’s just sitting, centered on that cone.

Probably takes at least an hour of work to prepare it to go back on the trailer so parts don’t fall off of it in transit.

Edit, I found another video.

Someone is throwing a steering column in, connecting the down pipe to the manifold, and it looks like both front and rear driveshafts are going into the transfer case.

It’s a show drill the average person would be amused by at a community event. No doubts about that.

Chances are they do the first part of this routine at the end of the day and move everything in pieces. There is no actual need to complicate a vehicle devoted solely to this with coolant, or nuts, or anything really.

Thats what makes it hallow, its clearly just a show and I know it.

The how, centered on a cone, was interesting to know.  Body weight does the rest all 100' it gets driven.
