Vehicle Description
This 1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler Restomod is a rugged build of a cool
off-road machine. But as you dig deeper, you're going to see extra
versatility in everywhere from the fuel-injected V8 power to the
three-row seating. And so you'll realize all the big investment
were about both off-road prescience and overall usability.
The Desert Sand paint not only has a name fit for an off-road
machine, but also it has a cool satin finish that adds extra
distinction. It has the right modern look for a vehicle that has
less than 5,750 miles on it. We also like this paint because it
provides a nice background for all the beefy black details. You
really see pieces like the fender flares, rocker guards, grille
guard, rear bumper w/trailer hitch, and front bumper with a big
tubular bull bar to clear a path. And this blackout has very handy
features, including the rear rack with spare fuel cans and the jack
mounted to the hood. Since that dark wheel and tire package helps
to elevate the stance, there's also electronically deploying side
steps. So there's plenty of cool style within the brawny features
of this custom build.
The black soft top looks great when it's in place because it
coordinates nicely with the other exterior black pieces. But we bet
you'll really love taking it down to show off the interior. This is
an awesome setup where the front buckets have a fresh look and
plenty of bolstering. Plus, we know you love the look of the
alligator skin texture on the durable vinyl. The headrests have a
cool/custom CJ8 logo, too. This custom build takes full advantage
of the Scrambler's longer wheelbase and gives you two rear rows!
They both have seatbelts are finished in the same cool alligator
texture. There's added comfort with a cup holder center console,
Grant sports steering wheel on a tilt column, and a Pioneer
AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input to plug in your phone.
With such a rugged look on the outside, you really want this kind
of muscle to back it up. So under the hood is an upgrade to a 350
cubic-inch Chevy crate motor. The V8 has a clean look that reminds
you this is a fresh build, and there are nice details, like how the
ridges in the air topper match the Edelbrock valve covers. Plus,
the Edelbrock electronic fuel injection adds power and consistency.
The mighty V8 exhales from full length headers that add power with
contributing to the rumble of the dual exhaust. As you check out
those pipes in the undercarriage photos, you'll also spot nice
upgrades like a strong G2 Dana 60 rear end, Bilstein shocks, and
Pro-Comp Xtreme Terrain tires. These go with the two-speed 4x4
transfer case to deliver a capable off-road ability. But there's
more to this build. The TH400 three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, and four-wheel power disc brakes are great for on
or off the pavement. And the way this one has a solid feeling from
the driver's seat tells you that lifted Jeep is also nice for
in-town driving.
This custom CJ8 has an awesome powerful look that also doesn't skip
out on the right comforts. So it's a great restomod that you need
to get your hand on right now.
