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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
After fixing some wiring and correcting the clutch cable length, I was able to take Patterson down the street and back. Brakes worked, clutch worked, and it felt like there was plenty of power. However, it’s definitely running rich, so we’ll tackle that tomorrow, along with improving the timing.
Congrats! You must feel good realizing your efforts. I loved the commentary…
“Hasn’t caught fire yet” …. LOL
Now that’s progress guys now down to the little things! You kinda looked like the patch Dave, but thank goodness, you had clothes on. Looking forward to more progress reports.
Congrats!
Congratulations on all your progress. Ann, the video and rolling commentary was great! Your first drive in a DJ3A! Fun , aren’t they! Not sure about several thousand miles to Alaska and back in one though!! Take extra pillows to sit on!!
FYI, I have found a lot of carbs set up with the wrong jet size on the float valve. The common kits are often sized for the 6 cylinder engine rather than the F or L heads so they run rich. I can’t remember the two different sizes but I found the info on the ‘net. The easy fix if the hole is oversized is to solder it and redrill with the proper size.
That’s a great feeling, isn’t it! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more.
GREAT WORK DAVE!!!
