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 .
Bill spotted these rims. They look in excellent condition.

Jim plans to purchase a CJ-5 and drive it a few thousand miles home. He asked me what tires/rims I would recommend for driving on the road, because the jeep currently has NDT tires. I gave him some suggestions, however my research has been more focused on 10″ rims and tires. Anyone have some suggestions for tires they like? He might also be interested in selling the NDT tires and rims that are on it, which appear in good shape.
Greg wrote me with a question for readers.
“Been researching tires for my Dad’s CJ3A restoration project lately. The closest thing I’ve found to a mid-sixties style mud tire that he want’s to use is a Deestone D503. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this tire (7.00 x 15), or perhaps has a more economical or even modern tire with similar tread characteristics. For our purposes with this jeep, visual is as important as off road performance. Oh, price is a consideration too. These retail for around $130-145, plus tubes, mounting, shipping, etc etc. One issue I’m having with this tire at the moment is the diameter. 29.8″ versus the 26 or 27″ it’ll replace. I’m ok with slightly larger, but I worry about getting too big.”
These have six lug rims.
“I have a set of good year terra tires size 31×15.5 x 15 they are on 12″ wheels with a six lug pattern and will fit toyotas and chevys if interested call me at 425-422-2449 and we can meet up”

I’m not sure if a complete set means four or five rims and tires.

Dan forwarded me some pics of his new tires from TDS. He notes these are particularly appropriate for this jeep, because all his grandfather bought for it were retreads. Dan did note how surprised he was at how difficult finding retreads was, especially since they are supposed to be so environmentally friendly.
“Here is my jeep with five new re-tread tires. I cleaned and painted the wheels too. The tires are 215/85R16 all terrain by TDS in Spokane. That was about the smallest radial I could find and the widest tire that would fit on the old 16×4.5 rims. My only other option was to go with a bias-ply and tubes. I saved about $340 by going with re-treads vs the cost of new. I think that they are the perfect height and width for what I was wanting.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown**
These are the Formula Desert Dog Xtra tires. Very rare. I think they are historically cool, but it doesn’t look like there’s all that much tread. See an ad for the tires at the bottom of this link.
“J78-15
