Stupid noob question...

My last Jeep was a fiberglass 79 CJ5, and obvoiusly didn't have all the details of a steel Jeep. So my question is: What the heck are the two panels for between the windshield, and the hood in this picture of my 64 Willys that I just bought?

 

Geez, sorry

 

The big one on the passenger side is the vestigal battery box cover from the M38A1. I think the other is a PO mod.

 

:iagree:

 

if this had been an A1 there would be a box under it and the lid would lift off,on the cj5's they just capped it off ,an the driver side no idea:? if you find out what it is let us know,or why the PO did it ,it may be a good thing and i for one am currious

 

Stupid question, but why should this original post be in the classified section
I was wondering the same thing about my 1963 Cj5 purchased five months ago. an unreliable source told me it was a toolbox. Obviously he was wrong.

well if you use a under hood batt tray it can become very usefull for other stuff,mine is a beer cooler,after all it does have a drain to the outside

 

Looks like the original poster removed the offending content.

 

OH,Thanks
