Vehicle Description
It's hard not to be impressed with every inch of this 1983 Jeep CJ8
Scrambler. Not only does it have the custom look of a YJ, but also
it's a full custom build with every feature you could want from a
built-in welder to A/C. And this 4x4 even has fuel-injected
Corvette power under the hood, too!
There's so much going on with this Jeep we need to separate it into
two areas: the beauty and the function. First the beauty. There was
never a YJ Scrambler, but you'd almost swear the factory made one
with this look. Not only was the front end added from the
later-model Jeep, but also the hood, fenders, and doors to give it
a very well-done total appearance. And because a Jeep is a true
patriotic machine, this one has a special red, white, and blue
triple-tone paintjob - we especially love the blue full soft top as
a finishing touch. There are even nice details, like how the
taillights fit flush to the body. And as much as you'll like the
way this looks, you'll really love all the off-road ready
accessories. There's a strong Warn winch on the front and two large
lights to lead the way. In the rear is a proper tow hitch. And you
have a lifted 4x4 stance aided by polished 15-inch beadlock wheels.
There's even a welder under the hood in case you need to make real
repairs out in the trail.
Inside the custom work continues to upgrade both comfort and
function. Two high-back leather bucket seats offer superior
comfort. The custom roll cage is not only painted to match the
exterior tri-tone, but also it has speakers built in for the
AM/FM/cassette stereo. You have a nice cup holder center console
that also provides locking storage. More lockable storage is
provided by the big diamond-plated Jeep Box in the rear. But your
favorite comfort feature will likely be the cold-blowing R134a air
conditioning. After all, no matter where you are, this can keep you
cool while open to the world. The classic Jeep steering wheel is on
a tilt column, and you have confident gear selection with the
Winters Performance shifter. The dash is a custom panel with
everything from a full VDO readout setup to switches for your
locking air differential.
The moment you look under the hood, you know they had plenty left
in the budget to upgrade the engine bay. This now has a
fuel-injected LT1 V8 nicely added. This is great for power for all
occasions, especially with the large aluminum radiator w/electric
fan keeping it running cool. There are more great supporting items
- from the heavy duty fuel tank (a $1,000 investment alone,) to the
4L60E four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. The lifted 4x4
suspension with Currie springs, Rancho shocks, and Cooper
Discoverer tires keep this a go-anywhere Jeep. Plus, the power
steering and four-wheel disc brakes are great for the street or the
trail.
This is a full custom build of a Jeep that will leave you wanting
for nothing. So if you love to do it all, including turn heads on
Main Street, call today!
