UPDATES: I greatly appreciate all the kind words. I see there are some questions, so let me answer them…
- I am not shutting the site down due to financial issues. We are in fine shape. The site has never made much money, but it has made enough to pay for the basics costs, plus the purchase of brochures, a few toys, etc.
- Someone has reached out about taking over the site. If I can make that happen, then maybe the site goes forward in some form. If I can’t find someone, I plan on condensing the most important info into static HTML pages (similar to the CJ-3B page) that can be more easily be saved and republished for posterity.
- I don’t have any specific plans for the future, except reducing my time demands, so I can focus on finishing the Tour Jeep, traveling a little more without having to do updates on the road, and tackling more property tasks.
- As I have described to a couple folks, if you remember the scene when Forest Gump stops running in the middle of Monument Valley, realizing he’s done, that’s the way I feel. I feel like I’m just done.
I hope that additional info helps!!
===================
I have decided to shut down eWillys. At this time, I don’t plan to do any more updates.
Thanks to everyone who were able to use it, read it, all those who commented, and the many domestic and international friends Ann and I have made over the past 17 years.
The site will remain up until the end of the 2024 year. I hope to figure out a way to republish some of the unique information the site has on it in a different, less expensive manor.
Best wishes all. It’s been a good run.
