The Scrambler CJ-8: A Long CJ-7 With A Pickup Bed.

Despite having 8 in its name, the Jeep Scrambler CJ-8 was actually the 12th Jeep CJ model produced by Willys-Overland, Kaiser-Jeep, and American Motors Corporation between starting in 1944 and going all the way through 1986 when it was replaced by the iconic Wrangler. 

The Jeep Scrambler featured a striking 103.5 in. wheelbase, 10 in. longer than the CJ-7 (which was already 10 in. longer than its predecessor, the CJ-5). The CJ-8 also shared the same Dana 300 transfer case found in the CJ-7, which was a replacement to the BorgWarner #1339 QuadraTec and Dana 20 transfer cases utilized from '76-'79. The transfer case offers 2wd, and 4wd hi/lo options. Additionally, the CJ-8 sported Dana 30 axles up front, and AMC 20 axles in the rear with manual front locking hubs.

Several engine options were available in the CJ-8. It originally came standard with the 151 CID GM I4, but this engine was replaced with the AMC 150 CID. inline 4 for the 1984 model year. A 258 ci. AMC Inline 6 and 304 CID AMC V8 were optional upgrades, although the 304 option wasn't offered past 1981. The 258 inline 6 like in this example was an extremely popular option, and part of a long-running power plant for Jeep, known for low cost, high reliability, and extreme torque.

SEND IT, SISTER.
