    Don't think they're there for legalities sake, ECJs didn't have them, not even the mounting holes.

    Not so flimsy. At least on my M38A1C; they are a lot heavier than the puny new ones on my YJ.

    In terms of design, they'd make a darn good "non-slip" footstep for a muddy combat boot.

    Found on all military jeeps (or at least originally). Used for pushing vehicles out of mud, etc. without smashing the bodywork
