Can someone post here when the deconstruction is available. I’m definitely interested.

I will absolutely do this, I love the Munroe Teardowns.

Almost clickbait because I’ve been waiting for the tear down and thought this would be the post that had a link to it being up !

The funny thing about a teardown is that you could cover a lot of the same ground by touring the factories that build each major part, then follow the final assembly line and see them put the parts together.

I got a chance to do that when I toured the final assembly factory in April. I started at the end where fully assembled trucks were rolled off, and when I reached the end, there was nothing but the frame.

That said, it's priceless watching Sandy Munro rip things apart and react to each part.

I wonder if he'll ever do a video of them putting everything back together. I'm sure some of the parts that needed to be cut or cracked open so they must need to replace those.

That would be interesting!

Though, from what I have seen, they quite seriously destroy about half of the components, then generally auction off the parts.

They make their money by selling the engineering reports around each component, and the fuctional cost, I doubt they would get the value of the vehicle back after reassembling it.

Very interesting.

This reminds me of the Producers. When you think about it, you can probably make more money from a broken vehicle than one that works.... When you sell off every part.

That's how junk yards make money. Sooner or later as cars get wrecked, people need a door, a hood, wheels, tires, even the seats.

One thing I could say is that assuming they replace any parts that destroyed, if they did put them back together they could still get top dollar for a vehicle that was fully hand built by Munro Associates.
