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 .
Jordan spotted this rare DJ-5 in fairly stock shape. Note the 4-lug rims.

Lawrence used to say that the DJ jeeps and the Marine Jeeps used to come with positive traction rear ends. Neat little jeep! Thanks Gary P
Hi Gary,
He is partially correct. Some US post office DJ-5s came with limited slip differentials. The best we can determine, the ones in northern climates likely had the positraction, while some in the southern states did not.
The mid 70s postal DJ-5s also used 30 spline axles, but the axles and axle housing were about an inch shorter on either side than a standard CJ-5 width. However, you can use the 30 spline CJ-5 axles on a DJ-5 housing by adding 1” spacers on either side. That way as the first rear end I had in the flattie I built in 1984. It was a great all-around performer and I liked it better than the Detroit locker I currently have in my current flatfender. I find the locker more squirrelly on the road.
