Question about "stock only"

I'm wondering about whether or not questions or info regarding dealer installed, or period correct aftermarket accessories would be appropriate in this forum.

Since jeep tended to use "aftermarket" parts that were "Jeep approved" as dealer installed options, would you guys consider that fair game here?

(Kayline,Whitco,Husky,Bestop,Warn,Meyer,Selectro,etc.?)

 

Sure, I don't see why not. I'd think you could discuss anything here that was "period correct."

 

I asked the hive and so far no one has a problem with it

 

Certainly not all aftermarket products were designated as "JEEP APPROVED SPECIAL EQUIPMENT".
Example:
Warn hubs and early designed Dualmatic made the grade but no others to my knowledge.

Kaiser had a special manager to designate the chosen products.
The special equipment manager for several years during the sixties was R. O Morgan.

Yes, I believe the hive has spoken or at least telepathically concurred

DREDnot - What document is that with the Whitco spare tire holder?

 

Well, I, for one, don't think.............blah blah blah. Hehe. Yea. I think that would be fine. Don't know where else you'd go with it, really. Get the nod from the mods and we're go to go.

 

Its some brochure that was for sale on Ebay
I often do searches for stuff using "whitco jeep" and these pop up alot.
NOS tops in white,not so much.

 

Good stuff. I really like that old literature. Good pictures and illustrations. You find out all kinds of interesting things, like I never knew that my Whitco top had "Diaelectrically sealed windows" So space age and scientific.
