- Tell us about your Jeep Willys ? : Prior to my ownership, this Willys was a plow Jeep used on a small used car lot in the Lakewood area in Colorado. It had a hard life, but the PO was a mechanic. He did the repairs needed to keep it running, but that’s about it.It was listed on Craigslist. I brought it home. It ran well, but didn’t stop. I decided to do a few minor repairs. Fix the brakes. Patch a few rusted panels, etc…, then have fun with it. The next thing I knew, it was broken down to the frame and Willys parts were spread all over the garage. I just couldn’t stop myself. 2 years later, I had built a militarized 3A. We call it ODie.
