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 .
As Merlins explains at the beginning of this video, This crazy CJ-3A truck was something he saw listed on eWillys. It proved useful into it broke down a couple years ago. In this newest episode of Throwing Wrenches, the crew gets it running again.
Looks like a good firewood rig. Good job getting it going again Merlin + Co.
looks like a stretched wheelbase ? — poor mans CJ-6 ??
The question many of us might be asking;How do I get on that FREE PARTS gravy train mailing list?
I thought it was interesting that they would rather change axles than do a brake job on the rear axle.
I wasn’t impressed with this video, too much time spent on promotion, not enough time spent on actually showing the repairs, I thought I missed something, watched again, didn’t miss a thing. I did see a greasy engine, no greasy hands. “GREASE FOR THOUGHT.”
Mike: I think those are fair criticisms. The theme of the episode appears to have been “we are going to get this drivable”. While they certainly accomplished that goal, from an audience perspective, there weren’t many explanations, such as 1) here is our problem, 2) here is how we will address it, 3) here are the problems we ran into, which you might run into as well, and 4) here is how we successfully dealt with our problems.
Gayland: I think the issue was cost? It was cheaper to replace the rear end with a free, working rear end rather than purchase brakes (though I would suspect they could have gotten the brake parts donated).
It’s possible that the video showing some of the explanations didn’t turn out or didn’t quite work as planned. I know they are still finding their way through this process.
