My theory is that when Willys decided to put the spare on the right rear of the jeep so that they could put a tailgate in and not have to deal with the spare at that location they decided that there probably wasn't enough room. That corner of the tub is kind of boxed in on a CJ and it was even boxed in on the other side when the lefty's were being produced. The reinforcement for the spare would have taken up some of the storage space so they just decided it just wasn't worth the expense.

Just a photo I came across on the internet.
I suspect they are waiving at the "sand surfers" being towed behind the Jeep. Micah

Imagine the heat buildup where the boards drag on the sand. I wonder.

No windows on the doors? Or is it something with the picture quality?

Maybe a quick fab on those side curtains and doors. They don't look up to DOT spec

Did Idaho have DOT in 1955?

You got me to look! They did! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idaho_Transportation_Department#:~:text=A%20property%20tax%20was%20enacted,became%20the%20Idaho%20Transportation%20Department. Supposedly the original commission's jobs included:
Not clear about how vehicle safety fell in there ... maybe it didn't

I looked at said link. Thanks! They did have the Idaho Department of Highways reorganized in 1950. Prior to that it was the Bureau of Highways. It is unclear if they addressed vehicle safety at all in either organization. I also suspect that it did not. However, in 1974, the Idaho Department of Highways became the Idaho Transportation Department. I suspect that this is when they started looking into vehicle safety. This is after "Unsafe at any speed" came out. Written by Ralph Nader, it was first published in 1965. It started folks thinking about vehicle safety. While I disagree with him about the Corvair, he did the country a service by bringing this subject to light. I love these pictures, they remind me of our Jeeps on the ranch/farm I lived at off and on while growing up.
