Starting to shop for one, looking online but usually somebody here has 1 of everything... not looking for a grade 1 fully restored or a grade 6 box of old parts either... Something in between would be ideal....
I think I saw one on marketplace for $1500. I would love a tub. I have several early cj5 parts jeeps and the flatfenders pretty much fit the cj5 frames
Had a '52 Willy's pickup back in nb 1979 for a short time. It had a 6V system got it converted to 12V. You can't imagine what is involved with that.
It was 4X4 with positraction (?) front and rear with a low range shifter. Streight line onl with diff's locked. Like the older Power Wagons and J20 Jeeps.
At one time the Navy had a bunch of J20's. They were used as "Explosive A" vechicles.
Good luck with the Willy's but make sure that you understand what you will be getting into. --- SAWMAN
77 CJ5. Best way to tell the difference is door cutouts. CJ7 had full doors. CJ5 had wheel well in the door.Is that a CJ7 or 5. Kinda looks like the shorter wheelbase of a 5 but no expert.
I had a hardtop 7 back in (IIRC) '83. Also had a Toyota Landcruiser waaaaaay back.
Remembering the off road club that I was in consisted of Jeep,Landcruiser,Bronco,and IH Scout's. Just a few Power Wagons and other P/U's.--- SAWMAN
I knew there was something different about Rebel Rider...A “square headlight” kind of Jeep guy. Here is my two Jeeps I have owned...sadly the 1963 Cj5 Tuxedo Park lll is gone....still have my 1998 TJ since new
Best thing about those is 4 guys can move it. Also, need to work on it? Flip it on its side, lol.Haven’t bought the press yet. Still kicking it around.
I enjoy watching the Mecum auctions. You never know what will be auctioned off.
Every once in a while I see something nice and think “Heck, I would’ve paid THAT”.
Check FB marketplace for a Willy’s.
Here’s one in Georgia.
The YJ is the pinnacle of jeep design, except for the shotty vacuum lock in on the front axle. (49$ fix) Mine is 4 banger with tbi. Ill be dust and it will still be running.I knew there was something different about Rebel Rider...A “square headlight” kind of Jeep guy.
