ashley Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Hi all, to my knowlege (though limited :roll:) i always thought that the spare wheel on jeeps were carried on the rear of the vehicle ?? On visiting the site recomended by Martylee, i came across this picture of U.S. troops whose jeeps have the spare mounted on the nearside rear ? Has this been seen by others , as i have never seen a vehicle portrayed as U.S WW2 with this setup. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a344/atcase/WW1%20Day%20out/422127022_d80dc83a43_b.jpg[/img] N.B note bustle baskets Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf S. Ask Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Also notice the jeep out in the road. The spare is placed on the same place. I recon they moved the spare wheel whereever they found it best, when fitting the jeep with equipment needed. Here is a few more.. and don't forget all those jeeps with the spare tyre up front Rolf A recon jeep of the 30th Infantry Division. http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/5219/areconjeepofthe30thinfafp6.jpg[/img] http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/7130/ajeepwheelsidemounted01wf6.jpg[/img] http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5995/ajeepwheelsidemounted02hv2.jpg[/img] http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/2467/slatgrillambulancedf7.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
