patches Posted March 5, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 5, 2016 Hey guys, what's this flap, Armor protection or Mud or maybe Wind Protection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B. Posted March 5, 2016 Share #2 Posted March 5, 2016 Looks like steel plate "armor" to me. You can see the windshield has also been modified. Jeep mods were fairly common, particularly among general officers. I have seen a number of photos of jeeps with armor, extra machine guns, bazooka mounts, and all sorts of modifications.

Steve B. Posted March 6, 2016 Share #5 Posted March 6, 2016 I think the jeep website at www.g503.com had a photo section that might show some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
