I thought rather cool the jeep was made in such a simple way!

That is quite cool but I do suspect they make it a little easier for themselves by making sure the nuts and bolts aren't tight before starting.

Don't think it would be quite as easy on one that isn't in that condition and has had the same rusty bolts and linkages on it for 20 years.

I imagine that's because it's been maintained very well...

Anyway, easy to sort out

1. Drive it into a vat of WD-40
2. Job jobbed

Meh. Have you see how fast a pack of Scousers can strip a stolen Impreza to bits?

nothing appeared to be actually bolted to anything imo, the axles and engine were just sat there waiting to be lifted off. the body appeared to come off after removing a bolt from each corner!

Impressive, but obviously fake (or at least, it's not a "normal" jeep).

No wires, anywhere, no headlights. Can't see any brake lines, or a cooling system.... Don't appear to be any bolts holding the engine in either...!

Yup - first thing I noticed was the total absence of coolant pouring out when they take the radiator out.

Or a fuel tank or any fluids at all, also any linkage to do with wiring or brake or the exhaust. you can see it dangling at the bottom. Still very impressive though, probably running dry with no brakes except the handbrake.
