The Willys Wheeler is being delivered to my driveway as I write this. Feel free to ask me about its street/freeway manners and off-road behavior, plus any of its other characteristics that come to your mind.

Read the rest on the JK-Forum homepage. >>

 

It's a jeep. It's a dressed up sport, so same capability and manners as everybody else's stock sport or Sahara. Would be interested to hear your take on how it's different once you've tested it out. sent from my work leash

 

How high/far can you jump it?

 

 

 

Does it float?

 

Don't see the big deal about it honestly. It's the same as the rest of the Sports etc minus the tires and paint.. What does the author expect?

 

I'd like to see a comparo of the original Willys Jeep and the Willys JK and see how they measure up. Also, maybe a brief intro on the history of the Willys, as younger generations are almost too far removed from the existence of the Willys to know what it was.

Ford has been rumored to be eyeing the JK market. If Ford was to build a modern day GPW, what are some things you think they'd change or do differently than the Willys JK?

 

I have a 2 dr willys. There's no difference expect for a few stickers and wheels and tires. I got it without power which made it feel like the tj and yj I had back in the day. My willys also has the 3:73's gears from the factory with 6-speed manual trans.

 

They'd make it badass with a diesel and only sell it overseas.
