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 .
UPDATE: Back in 2012 I ran across a pic of this CJ-5 on Flickr (1st one shown below). Now, thanks to rob, we have a series of photos of this North Carolina CJ-5, custom built by the owner. Sure looks handy!
Does it look like it has a full floating rear axles?
It sure does. One other thought is that maybe it is part of a dually connector assembly, but I doubt it.
swiss-kife-lifel ???
Lol.. Nasdog that was supposed to be like not life. Will fix thanks!
With that digger on there it might have a dana 60 or 70 for a rear axle.
The engineering is top notch, you got to have some kind of background to do this, admirable indeed. Having said that, with all that extra added weight, what was done to improve suspension? I doubt those stock Jeep leaf springs could hold up under all that extra weight.
I’m impressed….& green. Gonna guess he’s got a PTO on a 4sp. tranny or it’s xfer case. Doubt that a pulley drive would handle all dat juice. No turns while bucket’s down?!
Anyone recognize the front hubs? They might be Thor Electric hubs, as the shape is the same, but I don’t think they were ever red: http://www.ewillys.com/2017/04/09/thor-products-white-automotive-whitco/
DOH! Ya mean I coulda just bought a real loader/backhoe on a tractor?? 😉
Looks really cool, but that’s some serious steel on the back end.
Both front and rear wheels are 10 lug.
