WOW that's fast. Don't think it will make the off roads test though!

I dunno, thats how those old Willys were made and thats how the Army used to get them over completely unpassable places. I am pretty sure those old Jeeps went places that no car should ever go, so the off road test probably has been passed more times than we can count.. lol

Already saw that video and there are a few flaws in the whole thing...

1. No fluid in the radiator
2. No wire harnesses for the lights, etc
3. Was the body and suspension held on with cotter pins instead of bolts
4. Where was the gas tank
5. Was the exhaust even connected

There is probably more flaws in it but that is all I saw...
