The Willys Jeep: American Classic and Reliable Off-Roader

by trycmcw

A good off-road vehicle doesn't have to cost you more than your
house.  Many four wheelers like older models like the Willys
Jeep.  Parts for these classics are still easy to find so it's
easy to keep them running.

What's a Willys?

Although Willys is a name that brings a blank look to most
people's faces, it's one of the most recognizable vehicles out
there: the World War II Army jeep.  These sturdy and reliable
performers remained one of the most popular Army vehicles for
decades, serving not only Americans in Korea and Viet Nam but
armies of other nations even to this day.

The original MB model was named a critical tool of World War II
by General Eisenhower and an International Historic Mechanical
Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers.

The late 1970s saw a change in the US military's policy toward
personnel and cargo transport.  They decided to go with larger
and more advanced vehicles, so the venerable jeeps and trucks
were replaced with the Humvee.

Although no longer used by the American military, there is still
a strong community of enthusiasts that keeps their Willys
fighting fit.  Even 30 years after retirement, there is no lack
of Willys Jeep parts and supplies.

Cheap, Tough, and Versatile

With World War II looming on the horizon, the US Army had
basically three specifications for its new personnel vehicle.  It
had to be tough enough to survive combat use.  It had to be able
to drive anywhere from deserts to swamps.  And it had to be cheap
enough to supply an army.

The very characteristics that made the Jeep such a successful
army vehicle are what make it so beloved today.  It's not fancy. 
It's not pretty except to another jeeper.  But it's rugged and
never gives up.

Willys Jeeps were built in the days when all you needed to fix
your car was a screwdriver.  When you need to replace Willys Jeep
parts, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to do it.  You
don't need expensive tools and computerized analysis.  Invest a
little sweat and elbow grease and your Jeep is ready to roll
again.

The Off-Road Vehicle Built for Off-Roading

Most four-wheel vehicles built today are designed to look pretty
sitting in your driveway.  They are status symbols rather than
rugged vehicles, no matter what the slick television ads say.

Willys Jeeps are all about function over form.  These are not
glorified minivans.  These are vehicles for people who want to
come home covered in dust and mud.  They are about adventure and
exploration and genuine off-road experiences.

Since they aren't manufactured anymore, it can be hard to find
one - and even harder to find one that's not obscenely
overpriced.  Patience will pay off, particularly if you are
willing to buy a junker and replace a few of the Willys Jeep
parts yourself.
