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 .
Christian has posted over 100 photos from last summer’s Willys Am Tegernesee Camp 2016 in Germany. Here are a few of them. You can see them all in this gallery:

One hub I’ve never seen in the wild is the Viking Hub, a 1968 product developed by Don Chapman at the Viking Automotive Equipment in Gardena, California. Before he moved to California, Chapman was active in Colorado’s offroad community and was involved in an offroad accessories in Colorado as well, most likely Dualmatic or Husky (anyone know the relationship between the two?), which were both based in Longmont.
Here’s an ad for it. Looks like a nice hub:
Four Wheeler Magazine did an article on the product and included this exploded view: 
Ti’s the hunting season …

This looks to be a four-page news piece directed at salespeople.

This package introduces the Merchandiser to the Jeep sales staff. I can’t tell how many pages it is.
“Original dealer’s part color folder , 8.5 x 11 folded , 17 x 11 unfolded , this is volume 1 #1 of “Jeep Merchandiser”. Published by the merchandising and advertising department for Jeep salesman , also included are two advertising bulletins introducing the Jeep Merchandiser , all items are in the original cardboard binder , 9 x 11.5.”
Jerry was having some fun the other day. He writes, “Took this picture the other morning and added the caption “Why soar like an Eagle when you can drive two of the coolest Jeeps on the planet?””
He then noted, “The MB was overheard asking the JK8 — “Who’s you Grand Daddy?””
Thanks to Glenn for forwarding this article. Four Wheeler Magazine reported yesterday from the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) that OMIX-ADA reps had spotted a parts dealer from China named Unity 4WD Accessories selling parts that violated patents O-A owned. They quickly notified authorities, who then contacted the Federal Marshals, who seized the goods and shut down the booth. Read more here:
This event follows an article I read last week about a guy who developed the Forearm Forklift and has been selling it on Amazon, only to have counterfeiters copy his product and sell it on Amazon, too. They’ve used the same name and even his photographs, ones that include the guy’s family!
