Cherokees Don’t Make Good River Boats

eBay Search

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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.

Jeeps Showcase

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.

Buying Tips

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 .

Brian forwarded this. Wait for the Jeep Cherokee and watch it float the river, or not float it. So, here is the question, you have a camera and someone you know is experiencing an emergency. Do you keep filming?

Answer: I guess if you’re a Russian cameraman, you keep filming.

Ah, this is the reason my daddy always told me not to cross water in a car…. and we can also learn from the video that swimming across is not an option either. I only saw this once, and I kept telling the passenger on the far side not to try to swim across. I thought he was going to be swept downstream for sure. He must have heard me because he headed back toward shore. (lol)

Now I can think of a reason someone would jack up a 4×4 6 feet in the air, high water crossing….(lol)

But I’m not going to call them names, other than ignorant and inexperienced, unless they make the same mistake twice. Maybe I’ll watch it again just so I can call them names. (lol)

Seriously, it’s a great video to see how powerful water can be and to be careful. On a positive note, they are traveling in a group. There is safety in numbers.
