In 2005 maybe, but my 1997 TJ is Moss Green pearl.

I assume the numbers are consecutive, so if they just give me the first and last we'll be in good shape.

Mine is for sure a 24x - not a 25x (Willys.). And it is Moss Green Pearl Paint.

Mine came with all the stickers/paint etc, but mine also says 24x.So I really don't have a Willys Edition either? Can someone explain this to me PLEASE!!! I guess I am "sunk"...

The stickers could have been ordered from the dealer and added. The 24x packages is the "Special edition" - 25x is the willys.

If yours is a 24x - its not a willys (like mine...) - even though EVERYTHING is identical, except the wheels....

I couldnt find a sticker online - I did find this from another site - looks like they copied it from their window sticker:

Here's some of the details from the window sticker:

Yep you guys have went off the deep end, I was right. Let me get this straight, you guys have the same vehicle, made of steel, rubber tires, ect, but one says 25x and one says 24x and that matters any.

Damn man, just drive your Jeep, they are only stickers. If you painted both of them blue, they would both still be Jeeps, but not Willys because they would be blue.

If you modified it at all, then it's not a real Willys any more especially if you removed the wheels. This thread has gone past ridiculous.

I say if you want to have a Willys paint it, sticker,it, and add any mods you want and call it a Willys.

Willys for everyone!

Now you made me look at my window sticker!

It did state.

Customer Preferred Package 25X
Willys Edition Group

Then the listing of what the Willys Edition Group consists of.

*SIGH* I guess I don't have/never had a Willys... But now I have a SUPER WILLYS!

Now, about those bumper numbers...

Thats ok - I still consider mine a willys to.... i dont even bother trying to explain the difference to someone.....

We can have our own Willys SE club.

Hey - maybe we can start the "camo seats club" - then both can join!

truckin88 · 01-17-2008, 08:04 PM

if you have camo seats, rocker guards (rubicon style), green flares, green soft top, you have a willys, even if it was rebadged thr rocker guards camo seats are the give away

Notice it says Special Edition X...the special edition is willys, an X with the 24X package is what I have there is no SE, cause i dont have a willys

WillysEdition04 · 01-17-2008, 08:20 PM

I feel like we're running in circles here.
The "24X" was most likely made with every intention of being a "25X" WILLYS but the lack of consumer interest forced the marketing dept. to repackage some to-be Willys into "Special Edition" pkgs. It's only logical, gotta sell 'em. Why else would they be all green w/ camo? you dont see any all blue, all yellow, all red, etc.

The Dog is right. We're all off the deep end.

Your Jeep is a 2004. They are talking about 2005 models.
I don't believe there was a "Special Edition" pkg for 2004, just the Willys pkg.
If it came with the green painted steelies and not the Ecco wheels I think you're in good shape.
Check your window sticker.

Here's my window sticker:

The more this thing "drags" on, the more I am learning! I didn't have a clue what everybody was talking about the 24x and 25x - never even heard of them before this! Either way, I'm happy with my Willy's (Phase II) and plan on keeping it forever! Go Willys

WillysEdition04 · 01-18-2008, 11:53 AM

Yeah your's says Willys Edition Group right on it, Joe. But hey it's pretty obvious they were all (24X and 25X groups) made with the intention of be a Willys Edition.

I just saw a 2005 Willys Edition for sale on ebay with 23 miles. NEVER TITLED!!!

My 2004 has the same sticker except mine also has;

Axle - Trac-lok Differential
Doors - Full Metal w Roll-up windows - windows front door Light tint
Steering Wheel - Leather Wrap
Speed Control

So everyone is happy now, willys rule!

**tjthorson** · 01-19-2008, 05:39 AM

Neat. So that means in 2004 - it was 24x and Willys was line-itemd.

In 05 - they were separated out.....

To the people said we were "off the deep end" - I dont think most of us care - it was just one of the posters wanst to get a list of VINs and start a "Willys Edition Club" - and since many that look/feel/smell like the Willy's edition TECHNICALLY aren't - it might skew their numbers..... That's all.
