Installation notes
The rack hooks over the top of the rear body side and is secured with canvas straps attached to the rear grab handles. No holes need to be drilled in the body. Note: the rack restricts access to the spare wheel and jerrycan when fitted.
Compatibility
Fits jeeps with standard rear body configuration. May interfere with trailer use. For British Airborne modifications, the spare wheel and jerrycan bracket were often removed for alternative mounting.
Historical context
These luggage racks were not standard factory equipment but were fabricated in base workshops or by the troops themselves, particularly in the European theatre. They became popular as a practical solution for additional luggage space.
