Please tell me you are going to restore it to original and not put some massive tires on it.

Why would you put big tires under a willys is beyond me... If you want to go rock crawl, get a newer jeep that is better. Willys should be restored. And imo, if you were going to put big (er) tires on it, dont go above 35. I still say you should restore it. Oh and what axles are on it now? I dont know, but i seriously doubt they would hold up to a 35 or bigger on any real wheeling.

Let me know how those axles live up to that 383 and 35's Plus, the 4 wheel 9" drum brakes will be sweet too!But to give you an example of a cool willys build that is cheap AND reliable, my buddy came up with this recipe: scout II chassis shortened 24" toyota axles, welded diffs and 4.10s homemade high steer toyota 22r, 5speed, and toy t case 36" swampers full cage fuel cell, etc. 4 link rear with coils He built the whole thing for about $2500 and it follows my BUILT early bronco everywhere, plus its street legal and rarely breaks parts. You could sell that 383 and build the whole jeep easily  |

2 years ago i had a 1978 ford ranger 2wd. i took the bed off and put tires off the front of a 4x4 tractor. (i do not know the size of them). and the local orv park use to 4x4 mud drags every weekend. since no bed and tractor tires i would throw mud futher than the truck would go. long storie short everyone started callin my "fordzilla the crowd thrilla" and yes i know there was a guy on that tv show carpacolypse that had that one guy witht he same nickname. but i didnt come up with it. | |
