Vehicle Description
While some of these rare Scramblers are restored to be the ultimate
off-roading machine, this 1981 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler LS-based Restomod
goes sooooo much further. Not only do you have the awesome-looking
fuel-injected V8 under the hood, but also the beefy axles, lifted
stance, four-wheel disc brakes, and attention-grabbing vibrant
paint mean this one can go anywhere and be memorable
everywhere.
The Scrambler is one of those Jeeps that everyone likes to see. It
takes the iconic lines of the CJs and gives it the longest body of
the series. While the looks are unmistakably Jeep, it is also rarer
than the CJ5s and CJ7s. It's this distinction that also explains
where there has been plenty of investments in this one even before
you know about the motor upgrade. The Teal Blue Metallic is a great
confidence color when done like this. It has a radiant style that
loves the sunshine. And the metallic element harmonies nicely with
the chrome grille and silver Scrambler decals. It's attractive for
in-town driving, but it's also not so fancy that you'll hesitate to
have some off-road fun. And you can tell this lifted 4x4 was made
to blaze its own trail. You have a custom steel front bumper with a
brush guard and integrated Smitybilt winch. Diamond plate rockets,
tubular steel side steps, and aluminum doors reinforce the sides.
And those extra-wide fender flares cannot even contain the
uber-wide 20-inch American Off-Road wheels. It all ends with LED
tail lights, more diamond plating, and a steel bumper with a tow
hitch. So this custom Scrambler is a great mix of beauty and
brawn.
The interior is all about being both useful and attractive white
being open to the world. That means full liner paint for the bed
and cab, crisp newer gauges, and a proper roll bar done in silver
to match the exterior. And you can tell they were thoughtful about
the upgrades because this has the right pieces to be comfortable.
It includes a tilt steering column, a cool sidewinder shifter,
bucket seats with a center console in-between, and a bikini top to
keep the sunshine off your shoulders. And with all that truck bed
space, this one is perfect for tailgating at a ball game.
While they invested over every inch of this CJ8, we bet your
favorite upgrade will be in the engine bay. The LS/Vortec line of
motors is the choice for those who want modern power with classic
Chevy small block style robustness. So it's nice to see the
fuel-injected 5.3-liter V8 upgrade under the hood done with care.
You'll love to look at the details, like the custom color-matched
engine covers. And as you dig deeper, you'll also spot good extras
like the aluminum radiator with electric fan, steel braided coolant
lines, and Flowmaster mufflers on the dual exhaust. It's a powerful
package that also starts up readily and runs smoothly. That makes
for a useful setup that's furthered by the upgrade to a four-speed
automatic transmission with overdrive. There are additional great
anytime driving features like power steering and four-wheel power
disc brakes. But the lifted stance and large Nitto Trail Grappler
tires let you know this is more than just a city boy. In fact, this
looks like it has been upgraded to heavy-duty axles for true
off-road work.
This Scrambler knows how to get attention for its power, style, and
rarity. It's the kind of custom 4x4 that is limitless fun. Call
