Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: To download the file, I clicked on the “download” (See red-highlighted square in the pic below). (or just click here ==> http://www.deilers.com/1946-texas-ag-test.pdf)
Ed spotted this PDF document (downloadable for free) that covers the agricultural testing of an early jeep. I don’t believe I’ve read this document (and don’t have time at the moment to go through it). So, let me know what you think.

Excellent document. Since the testing was done prior to the introduction of the the 3-point lifts, I believe some of the test results might have changed. However, this is a great summary of difference in the military and civilian versions. While the testing was focused on Texas farming (including cotton and rice), much of the data collected could be applied to farm operations in general.
Interestingly, Jim Allen and I recently had a discussion about engine and drivetrain heat issues. Here is some good data on engine heating during farm work.
Thanks to Ed and you for posting.
I cannot seem to dowload this document. Can someone help me with?
Hi Michael,
I’ve added a pic to the post to show where I clicked to download the document. I agree that it isn’t very clear.
Also, I’ve downloaded the document to my server to make it easier to find. Just click on this link: http://www.deilers.com/1946-texas-ag-test.pdf
Let me know if you have problems,
– Dave
