Health Update

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Dave Eilers the founder of eWillys shared some health news with me today via email. Please continue to keep Dave and his family in your Prayers.

Hi Tim,

I am sorry to report the following. In September of 2025, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 high volume metastatic prostate cancer. I immediately began hormone therapy. The first five months showed significant success in treating that cancer. What we didn’t know was that prostate cancer sometimes transforms/evolves into a cancer that you can’t fight with hormone therapy; in fact, there aren’t any good defenses against it at all. This new strain attacked more aggressively, especially focused on my right thigh. Effectively, I now no longer have a right thigh. It was on June 8th that we understood the full picture. Even if I could fight the cancer, I still have a hip seems irreparable. With no good options, on Tuesday the 16th I will officially begin hospice. I may have one to three weeks of life after that. The hip pain will be the determining factor (and there is lots of pain there).

I have lived sixty good years. I have found love and peace in a beautiful setting. This is an imperfect ending to my life; I sadly got the short end of the stick. Such is life sometimes.

Thanks so much for taking over eWillys. I hope it’s legacy proves valuable to folks.

Feel free to post the information above on the site if you want. If any readers want to reach out, they can email me at d@deilers.com.

Sorry for the dour news. I hope you continue to see success in your grand project!

Best wishes,

– Dave

Alaska or Rust 2017 Flashback

• CATEGORIES: Alaska Or Rust Trip This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

These are photos I have in archives from Dave of Alaska or Rust 2017. I thought these were way cool and would share with the group.

What an adventure they went on, there was a full book printed of photos, so not trying to duplicate any of that effort but I thought these were neat to share this adventure again.

The Great Willys Picnic

• CATEGORIES: Event, Uncategorized This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This will turn into a few posts.

But drove Willa Dean out to the Picnic, its an Hour and Half ride about 52 miles. Was a beautiful AM and the trip was nice, 2024 I took her out there as well, but refined the route this time and was a much better ride overall.

The show was really amazing being able to meet some great people. Especially Andy Testo  who has always helped out and provided tons of eWillys content over the years and Bob W who is a great contributor of Willys.

The list of people is long, Seth and his family put alot f time and effort into the show and it really shows as the event is run smoothly, parking is well coordinated and thoughtful, the venue is amazing and has unbelievable facilities from food, to rest rooms, and a Train Ride! If you needed to add one Willys thing to your list I feel this should be in the top 5.

I was not able to stay the entire time had a graduation party to attend, but I was able to meet many people and spend time with some good friends amd now new friends for a few hours making this another priceless event.

Thank to the “Windyhill” folks for everything you do and another great show!

Pictures are too large to upload right now! Will work to reduce those, my computer crashed on Saturday so working from the phone for a few days.
