Better than the US army, Id be surprised if half of them could even get the wheels off without hurting themselves.

I have seen something similar done by the French Army some years ago.... only differences.... the jeep was in crates and they built it right there .... I am sure it took more like 1h but still was very impressive when you are a 6/8 year old boy....

It would be better if they started with bolts torque to spec and half of them not missing when they started.
Basically they CHEATED.

The way I look at it,If I've got to get a vehicle running so I can speediy un-a$$ an area, I can torque the bolts properly while I'm high-tailing it out of there.

idk about the wheels on a jeep, but on a humvee I can do an alternator in about 15 mins, change the hinges on a 600lb door in about 5 mins, side windows in about 5 mins. I guess I would have have problems with jeep tires though... we'd actually have to have one in combat. You could try changing a tire on an MRAP though, when you need help with what to do with the armor on the sides let me know.

i see we have a few 91B's here huh? most people in my maintenance unit know what they are doing. the fastest i have ever seen was a motor swap that we did on a HMMWV in about 2.5 hours. but we didn't start off with a vehicle that was missing mostly every nut and bolt.
