people have pronounced Willys both ways, I'll admit John Willys did pronounce his name "Willis" and not "Willies", I just pronounce it "Willies" becouse calling someone Billi or Willi just ain't right.

Check again jackass... Willys is pronounced as "willis".. You've never heard of the "Y" taking place of the the "I"??? I suppose not.

@balboa62 One more thing: If you were indeed an english teacher, you fail.
"It is pronounced, as flatfender states, "willies". But I guess anyone can be a teacher nowadays, can't they?

@balboa62 Go talk to a history teacher, idiot. Wikipedia for Willys-Overland has phonetic as "Will-is". The page for John Willys, founder of Willys-Overland, on wiki as the phonetic "Will-iss". You have been summarily pwned, as the saying goes.
Alaskan geologist, who knows how to pronounce something better than a Colorado English Teacher.

@bigguy6100 I suppose that is one thing that will be one of the things that will always be argued, same goes for the origin of the name Jeep. which by the way I hold o the Eugene theory.

@flatfender1947 Actually, from everything I've read about the man, Willys pronounced his name Willis

"Willys" is pronounced "Willis", not "willies"...thanks. :D
Nice Willys though, I hope to pick one up and restore it someday myself. check your front caster to help fix that death wobble. Maybe tossing on a track bar would help as well.

The steering box was worn out, it was fixed, and I got rid of the jeep recently in favor of my plymouth
