Re: Could this jeep have been there ?
I note you have an aeriel mount, and a machine gun, i dont think ww2 jeeps had both as it was too much equipment to lose in one hit. Have i opened another can of worms here guys ?

There is an old saying about what happened to thought. Armored outfits had many Jeeps with MG's and radios.

Mirrors could be smeared with mud or turned inwards toward cowl in tactical operation.

FIRESTONE WWII NDT Tread, maybe?

Re: Could this jeep have been there ?
Saipan June 1944... a mirror! There were no behind the lines on an Island! What is pretty rare is to see that particular type of jeep.Cal.Bar wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2017 6:27 amWell, I've seen hundreds of pics, and I'd say about 10-20% had the mirror and most of those were behind the lines or at least not on the combat line kind of jeeps.
If you did not have a side mirror I would say you need one!
GI., you have a nice jeep and no jeep is perfect so I would not get to excited unless you want to have your jeep judged!

Re: Could this jeep have been there ?
Thank's Mark,
That's a great pic. of a GI shaving out of a helmet with his carbine near by. {Those have got to be Marines, alway's sharp].
I don't plan on ever having my jeep judged, I just enjoy driving it to diff. car shows, talking to people about it, and doing parade's and Military display's etc. and I also enjoy tinkering with it in the garage, I don't think of it as work at all, and look forward to it.
Getting these diff. opinion's from those people here that really know their WW-2 jeep's is great, it help's me from having to look it up, and most of you guy's are really the WW-2 jeep expert's.
I will prob. correct some of the item's pointed out to make the jeep more correct, I would like it to 100% correct but know that will never happen.
But this forum is the place to come to if a person want's to learn the right way to build as close as possible that correct jeep.

Re: Could this jeep have been there ?
I fully agree with Mark Tombleson, its a really nice jeep, we could all find faults with most jeeps on here but there are exceptions. Your jeep is still a headturner G.I.

Look we can go round and round showing pics of jeeps with and without mirrors. Here are a series of pics from The Battle of the Bulge.Mark Tombleson wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2017 10:05 pmSaipan June 1944... a mirror! There were no behind the lines on an Island!

Two jeep pic, One has mirror, one pics shows two w/o

About half the jeeps have their mirrors and half don't. Looks like litter jeeps might need them removed, also if the jeeps get armored or covered looks like they take them off as well.
