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 .
Roger has shared these pics over the last week.
This former Army Corps of Engineers Wausau Iron Works plow is cool. It was shared on G503. You can see a brochure for the plow here.

This CJ-6 appeared as a background item to a Yogi Berra Day in September 19, 1959. Mike posted this one to Facebook:
And, finally, this modified jeep for railroad tracks. It appeared here on Facebook:
That is one serious snowplow, bet it did a great job. And looking at Yogi’s gifts makes me realize how times have changed, I remember seeing another old baseball player’s retirement photo from the 1930’s and he got hunting rifles and hunting dogs.
I can’t Imagine a huge heavy snow plow like this could possibly be mounted on a Jeep and be functional, much too heavy, prone to bend and crack frame and components. Weigh down the front end, over burden the leaf springs.
I agree with Mike. And definitely not on an MB or 2A. Perhaps on the heavier M38A1 on pavement – maybe. And is there a lift for this? A lot is missing in the photo. How is the blade attached to the Jeep and how is it lifted?
If there is no lift, while making the whole thing less maneuverable, it would certainly relieve much of the stress on the frame that is commonly related to snow plows. The jeep would essentially just be pushing the V blade (which cuts through snow like butter). No real stress unless you hit something. V plows are sometimes used just to make the first cut through the snow and then other trucks with standard straight blades follow.
I’d love to find one of these V blades sitting somewhere for a little bit of nothing and a case of beer. Not sure when I’d use it but I want one.
The Jeep-a-trench seems like a monstrosity that would never belong on a Jeep, yet it did. A little snow plow like that doesn’t seem like much.
yogis cj6 has the cool canvas 1/2 cab top , MR RANGER SIR !!! .. i just cant stop saying that when in yellowstone , or JELLYSTONE
