This 1981 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler, a true off-road machine, displays a bold Burgundy paint that complements its extended wheelbase design. The CJ8 was produced in limited quantities during its short production run, making this a difficult find for collectors. The exterior features rugged Dick Cepek 15" wheels with massive 32x11.50x15 tires that provide substantial ground clearance for rough terrain adventures. The functional Bikini top allows for quick conversion to open-air driving, while the YJ Wrangler half-doors offer added utility without compromising the authentic Jeep experience. A matching spare tire is mounted at the rear for extra security during remote trail expeditions.
The black vinyl interior offers excellent durability with upgraded front bucket seats that keep occupants secure during off-road maneuvers. An aftermarket cup holder center console adds daily usability while the floor-mounted shifter allows for direct control. The straightforward dash arrangement displays all necessary information clearly for optimal trail navigation. The AM/FM single CD player with Bluetooth and USB connectivity allows for music during even the most isolated backcountry explorations. Power steering makes maneuvering through technical sections effortless, while power brakes provide excellent control on steep descents.
The 258 CI inline-6 engine is ideal for off-road use, known for its excellent low-end torque for crawling over obstacles. Connected to a 3-speed automatic transmission and Dana 20 transfer case, this 4X4 drivetrain tackles challenging terrain with ease. Performance upgrades include an HEI distributor, coil, and ignition system for improved operation in variable conditions. The power disc brakes provide excellent modulation for precise control, while the leaf spring suspension with shocks can absorb impacts from uneven terrain. The single aftermarket exhaust system and 12 bolt rear axle complete the mechanical package for a vehicle built to venture far from civilization.
