Jeep CJ8

BEST CJ-8 on Market

Stand out from the crowd with this award winning Scrambler CJ-8......a JEEP with ATTITUDE.......it won best of 4x4 class in World of Wheels, Birmingham, Alabama 2011 (see pic of trophy).

GOT TO SEE TO fully APPRECIATE: It is a full restoration from frame up and always garaged.....see multiple pics, and I can send any specific pic desired. This IS NOT your Jeep Scrambler modified for the woods.....it's better than President Ronald Regan's.....look at his and then compare.....no comparison to it and most others for sale.

NOTE: so why am I selling such a prize....need some funds for another project: restoring a 1949 5-window Chevy Pick-Up Truck.

Automotive History of the Jeep CJ-8: The Jeep CJ-8 was a long wheel-base version of the CJ-7, introduced in 1981 and manufactured through 1986. It featured a 103 inch wheelbase and a removable half-cab, creating a small pick-up style box instead of utilizing a separate pickup bed. CJ-8s used the traditional transfer case with manual front-locking hubs to engage the four-wheel drive. Most had either a four or five speed manual transmission, but a three speed automatic transmission was an option.
