Ever see this?

Has anyone ever seen a field modified M38A1 where they installed an eyebolt on the dashboard at the door opening so you could attach a safety strap similar to those used in the WWII Jeeps?

My wife doesn't feel totally comfortable with no door to keep her in.

Yes we see them occasionally. It's a good idea without doors for folks who may feel uncomfortable or young children.

Wes,
If you've seen them that's good enough for me! Now to find some OD straps.

Thanks!

I did it on my M38 utilizing an existing hole. The prototypes had them and they make sense on one level.
But my jeep is as a field modified combat vehicle - so whatever I feel like I would have wanted and whatever makes sense to me.
