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 .
Here are four cast aluminum slot rims that are 10 x 15 and 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern. The seller has a variety of sizes. I’m finding these harder to find than the turbine rims.
“I’ve got alot of mags $250 for a set of four; Four 10in wide 15s 5 on 5 1/5 for jeep or ford. Four 8in wide 14s for ford or dodge. Four 10in wide 15s six lug for chevy or toyota. Two 6in wide 14s six lug. Two 8in wide 15s four lug for ford. Two 13in four lug for ford and some miss. call Gary 253 740 9492”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
“have a set of armstrong tru trac tires on aluminum wedge type wheels. 32 x 11.50 x15. they have a good 1/2 inch tread in great shape.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $150.
These are a reasonable price. I haven’t seen many of this style for sale.
“These are a set of wheels that came on a CJ-7 that I recently purchased. I used some other wheels, so I no longer need these. They are aluminum, they are a 15 inch diameter rim by 8 inches wide with 4 inch backspacing. These are a 5 lug by 5.50 pattern. That means they will bolt on a Jeep CJ or willys, Ford F150 trucks and Ford Bronco. They come with chrome center caps. There is nothing defective or wrong with the wheels, a little soap and water would do wonders. If you have any questions, please e-mail me and I will get right back to you. Thanks for looking and have a nice day.”
UPDATE: SOLD
If you are doing some PNW racing, here’s some good stuff for you. Plenty of tread on those tires. The body comes with fenders, hood and grille.
“Bobcat willys flat fender race body complete with seperate fenders hood and grill. Has removalable tailgate and no floor. Very good condition.$700.00
4 co-op front tires. 2 are brand new, 2 have 1 race and 1 spare. 10 desert dogs 2 are brand new and the rest are 60% and 85-90%. $1000.00 for all. Must take all tires. Will not separate.”
Here’s 2 sets of 2 different types of terra tires.
“These tires have 95% tread. There are 2 different tires so the first 2 are Xtra-Trac Terra-Tire 31X15.50 15NHS 2Ply rating and the other 2 are Super Terra 31X15.50 15NHS 2 ply rating. Wheels are 5 lug Ford Deep Dish Wide steel They are White but can be changed easy enough to match your rig. Any questions Please call 541-297-5878.”
These are great price.
“only 3 wheels 15×10 5on5 bolt pattern fit jeep and ford SOLD”
A good price if you need a set of inexpensive tires for your jeep.
“NR78 15lt size tires on 15×8 rims off of willys jeep, tires are basically 31×10.50 15 , tires have decent tread left, be a good set for hunting season.$150 firm”
This is a good price for these rare rims. On Tuesday I'll be driving through Kelso. If someone would like me to pic these up and deliver them to Seattle, I can do that.
"Set of four 15×10 aluminum mag wheels. 5 on 5 and 1/2 bolt pattern. Fit Jeep cj5 cj7 and ford f 150. Great shape $150"
These are good looking tires and rims.
"One set of new condition Uncut 20.00×15 paddles on New Steel wheels. 5×5 1/2 bolt pattern fits Jeep, Ford, Dodge, Scout. In perfect condition nubs still on tires. 360-430-5032"
While the terra tires will pop up for sale every so often, these tires are much harder to fine. I've never run them so I don't know how much better (or not) they are than terras.
"two (2) 31×15.5×15 v-bar tires. Run them forward in the mud/snow/dirt or turn them around and run them backwards in the sand. These tires provide alot of traction. Rims are for a 15" tire and are 14" wide with 5 on 5 1/2 lug pattern(1/2 ton ford & 86 and older jeep). There is some surface rust on the rims but nothing a little elbow grease and some paint won't take care of. These are not implement tires (like on a backhoe). these are made by Goodyear and I believe they are radials. They are called super terra grips. They are not street legal/off-road only tires. call 503-458-7010 Chris Phone call will be best will deliver for the cost of fuel and a cheeseburger."
Matt, who just sold me set of hurricane rims (thanks!) that match what I have, sent me this ad. I believe these are actually Hurricane Rims rather than Turbine rims as labeled by the seller. I've emailed the seller to get dimensions, however they appear to be wide enough to be 10x15s.
"This is a nice pair of 5 lug Turbine wheels they are 5×5.1/2 bolt pattern which fit Ford & Dodge. the bolt holes are not washed out or damaged. This is the end of the line for these wheels if they don't sell they will go in the Scrap and that would be a shame, so if you can use them make me a offer, Priced to move."

Formula Desert Dog History
Anyone know the history of Desert Dog tires? Apparently, according to the CJ3B Page Website (See comment at the bottom of CJ3B Page), “Louie says his Desert Dogs were the first out of the mold, given to him for testing and photographed for advertising in the 1970’s.”. “Louie” is Louie Larson, aka Gopher 4×4.
