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.
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 .
This six page Warn brochure for the Warn Lock-O-Matic hubs sold for $26 on eBay last week.
Dave, I can’t read how these actually work, but why does the photos have an arrow, that when turned, set it to FREE or LOCK when the outer arrows show the opposite directions to Lock or Free? Oh, my head hurts….
Barry,
Jeez Barry, you had me confused for a moment, too. Then I remembered one important detail ….
To go from Free to Lock you have to turn the dial CLOCKWISE 330 degrees (or about that much), hence the arrow that shows the direction to spin the dial. To unlock, the dial must spin COUNTERCLOCKWISE 330 degrees.
That make sense?
love me sum warn lock-o-matics — I have several sets , one is N.O.S. — the only problem with these is that they disengage when in 4wd going down a hill — the cams unload , you have to manually lock them if you are going to go down a hill in 4wd — other than that , they are quite complex , lots of little parts —
I reckon so. Now it makes perfect sense. Never used this type before. Live and learn or learn and live, I suppose. My brain is no longer hurting. Thanx
My ’69 came with these. The concept of internally-driven engagement worked well around my area for winter driving, where the roads change frequently from wet mains to snowy sides. This type of hub does not happily coexist with a Lock-rite front differential when in the “FREE” position.
