I bought this jeep a few years ago. It is a factory automatic. I have put a four inch lift and replaced carb with mopar fuel injection.. it has been reconditioned by Collins bro in Texas. painted over a lot of rust that I have to deal with now. shame on them. I never saw it before they painted it. soft top. spray liner in all inside. metallic blue color. the roll cage out of Colorado was bolted in without welding. body has not been modified. I plan to rebuild the engine for more torque. How many automatics are still out there. I paid 16000 and then added all the after market parts. |

029025 | Johnny |
I have 2 Scramblers. One is an all original 61K miles. Drk Blu w/Blue
bucket seats w/ gry inserts. ORIGINAL AMC Tonneau cover and bed wood
sides. The vehicle runs terrific. (now that I have replaced the carb
with a new one). It looks great from about 50 feet. any closer and you
see just how badly rusted it is. (the paint still shines real nice
though).
Which is also where the second one comes in. It is an 85 Arizona RUST,
DENT FREE Tub and freshly powder coated frame with reversed shackles
chrome dropped pitman arm and extra capacity gas tank. The best part?
I got all listed here for the sum of $1850.00!
Did I mention that I bought it a year ago and it has been running so
well I just cant take it off the road to swap the body and frame yet.

Randy, GA |
It took me over 2 years to find what I was looking for in Okalahoma where the CJ8 lived all it’s life. The day I got my first “Jeep Wave”, I knew it was the right decision. I am the forth owner with records going back to 1996 with 141,998 original miles. My goal is to bring it back to original as possible.

The hunting cage on the back is bolted on and can be removed. I will soon have new carpet put in the inside and a new magna liner sprayed in the rear cargo area. It also has the original paint and decal series. Factory original options include a/c, power steering, a manual 5-speed transmission, and currently has 151,000 original miles, drives like a dream and with no leaks and very little body rust. As far as I know this "8" has lived in dry arid West Texas. | ||

058498 | Steve, RI |
It is currently in Coventry, RI, 02816. I picked it up over the weekend on Cape Cod MA. It looks like it is all stock, even though it is pretty well rusted. It sat for 4 or 5 years... when I got it home... I threw in a new battery, sprayed some ether into the carb... and it fired right up. It has some pretty bad frame rot on the right side, and I am looking to get rid of it (if you know anyone who is looking for a project truck). I just ordered the floors (drivers and passengers front and rear) and the brake lines (I blew one when I moved it around my house yesterday). |

069774 | diesel | Five Porter, UT | I just bought a few weeks ago for $175 from a mining company. It spent the last 15 years under ground in a mine. It had a diesel engine and they had bolted on an exoskeleton that covered the whole thing. It had no body parts except the tub and grill. Anyway, it's mine now and a lot will change. I have a complete Lardeo package I plan on putting in. 360, NV4500, D300, 44's, full cage, coil springs, etc. | |

072019 | I started out by putting in a GM crate engine (ZZ4), with a corvette Tune-Port Fuel Injection. After that, it is a story of nickel and dimeing myself to death. The color is a charcoal gray and everything else is black, interior included. Running 33/12.5/15's and Eagle Alloy wheels(15X10). Rancho 9000 series shocks and a new AGR Superbox2. Way too much to list for the registry. I only drive once in a great while. It is mainly a daily street driver but I love taking it camping in Colorado (it is perfect to throw all the camping gear in and go). | |||

074765 | McGinnis, AZ | Now in Arizona. I say now because this Scrambler was a work horse in Michigan as a snow plow for much of its life. Then the winter snow and salt took its toll, it was retired just to rest in a heep until I found it and restored my companion to have the joys I like most, trumping thru the woods, retirement can be fun and give second life...... | ||

106028 | 6cyl, auto, cruise, air, ps, pb | Rick Outhet, ID | It was titled in Carrollton, Texas 09/17/1985 with 78 miles, sold twice in Texas and then titled in Idaho in 93. It does not show when I bought it but it was 4/3/97 It has the 4.2 AT Air CC factory and an owner put on a full length hard top (that has "Classic" in raised letter on the back) a rear seat (moved forward and a RJS 4 point harness installed for my daughter) fully carpeted, a Hilift jack on the front bumper, a huge rear bumper that stuck out past the rear tire( and it didn't last a week before it was torched off) and 31 inch tires. Since then it has been a almost daily driver and much put off project. I have Installed one piece axles, Weber carb, Mopar orange spark box, Tuffy center console, CD player and new front speakers. I have a steel [horse] long bikini (should cover the rear pass like a 92 and newer YJ) that I have yet to install. I am trying to get around to polishing a Westside preformace aluminum valve cover to install and cure the oil leaks, The list for further mods is way too long. | |
108516 | sliding rear window, rear mount spare, A/C, ps, tilt , pb, clock, tach, int. wipers, fog lights, grill overlay, double insulated carpet, side steps and rocker moldings. Other options include trac loc rear, T-176 4 speed, and towing package | Stephen, GA | I plan to undo the V-8 conversion to go back to the 258 with full emissions. The original color and decals are a must. I have enough pieces to make a full set of Laredo seats. Otherwise, the interior just needs cleaning. The clock still works and the speedo still has the yellow numbers above 55 mph and the tach still has the orange high range numbers. | |
111580 | Brian Snelling, GA | Inline 6, T-5 tranny, Dana 300 xfer. I purchased in June 2002 (Happy Birthday to ME!) I think she was originally in Seattle and then sold and moved to Georgia. That is where I purchased her and she still lives today. I put new BFG 31X10.50, spray-in liner, carpet, new stereo, some stainless stuff. My next projects will be new carb and intake and 4.10 gears to help maintain highway speeds. She has a full Kay-Line soft top with soft doors, half hard top with hard doors and firewall. Hard top, hard doors and fire wall are in storage b/c I use the back seat. | ||

My plans are to restore it as a stock driver. The body and frame are essentially rust free with 121K on the engine and drive train. I have included a picture of my Scrambler as it sat on the excess lot at Clemson. Little has changed on the exterior although I have touched up some areas with paint (hard to match that Forest Service Green!), removed the decals and gave it a good wax job! Plan to get a half cab soft top for the summer, new tires & new wheels. | |

134726 | 6cyl, 4spd | Gary Morgan, FL | This Jeep belonged to the Alabama State Park Service in the State of Alabama. It was in service on Cheahaw Mountain at Oxford, Alabama.

TJ flares, new Chevy 350 crate motor four bolt; 700R4 auto(jet) transmission, changed gears to 4:10 ratio with Dana Posi in front and Auburn tru-trac in rear. Changed rear axels to Superior 1 piece axle. All bearings ,seals ,u-joints, all bolts ,nuts, and washers replaced on entire Jeep. Front and rear drive shaft replaced with Tom Woods custom drive shaft. Reverse shackle kit on front. All steering replaced with AGR steering gear and Borgeson shaft. All new original interior including all gauges. Wheels are American Racing Chrome Atlas 10"x16". Tires are 35" mud terrains. I did all of the work including body and all paint except final clear coat. This Jeep had no rust and was never wrecked. Front fenders were dented from woods use. I changed this to a Wrangler front clip. All parts added were new. This Jeep had 106,000 miles when I bought it. It now has 0 miles on the odometer and could be considered a new Scrambler. The restoration took over one year to complete. All CJ-8 parts were kept in case I ever wanted to change it back to an original CJ-8. | |
