For some reason I just love those... I don't have one, but if I did, I'd flatfender it, put on a budget boost, and some skinny 31" swampers on the stock wheels and call it good.

X3. Never thought of that but it would be a sweet looking ride. My only change would be a Old man emu 2.5" lift.

Maybe just a 2" lift and 31x9.50 SuperSwampers radials. Saw some folks in Louisiana using those and they did great. Pretty sure you should not have spacing problems with the stock wheels. I also really like the Willys Edition. Kicking myself still for not ponying up the extra cash for one.

I think all the Willys edition TJs should come with flat fenders standard. That would have been cool.

Ones like these. I really like these flares, so who ever has them, I keep posting your pictures.

It's pretty much just a package that consists of some pretty clever decals, camo colored cloth seats, and (at least according to my spare tire) some leftover YJ 5 spoke wheels, and a sort of moss green paintjob


Even though none of those items make it perform better off road, they do look damn cool

i think the flatfendered/chopped fenders with a slight lift and the 34x10.50 Super Swamper LTB's would be perfect!

it comes with 3.07s! so it blows to take it off road, you would have to re-gear

There's a place in Dallas that sells vintage-era tires. The old WWII/Korea style tires would look good on it.

The Willys is a cosmetic package. The way to tell one is everything is green, rubicon rock guards, fenders, softop, camo seats - all green.

Mine was one of three that a dealer had that didnt sell in 05. They took off the stickers, added "X" stickers, and put on aluminum wheels.

Mine is a 4.0 auto with the 3.73 gears and D35 rear.

It has A/C, cruise, 6 speaker radio w/sub and cd player as well.
