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 .

“Branden Winches manufactured in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Great condition, hardly used if used at all. Bolted on steel brace. I have three available, which have been stored properly for several years.
(1) Model A8-9 3,200 lb capacity full drum
16,000 lb capacity continuous duty
(2) Model ARMS3-10R 4,300 lb capacity full drum
9,000 lb capacity continuous duty
$500 each. Please email if interested.”
Arent those numbers backwards? Continuous duty at half capacity? Or am I missing something?
Goes like this…. An amount of torque is exerted to the drum, the pull in the first wrap of wire rope (where true capacity is rated & the highest pull) is the torque reduced by how far out the cable centerline is from the centerline of the drum shaft (aka the working radius). On each successive layer of wire rope, the working radius is increasing, and the line force is decreasing by larger amounts. So the force on the outer-most wrap is the lowest pull. This applies mostly to electric driven winches, as the motor has a set output by design. A PTO winch is widely variable being driven by a very strong source, the engine, and this requires much greater operating care. This is because you can “juice” the engine a little and exceed the rated forces of the winch and/or cable easily.
A PTO driven winch should be considered a continuous-duty arrangement, irrespective of the cable wrap and force thing at the moment.
