Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this
sweet restored 1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler. These Jeeps are built for
the open terrain, if that's taking it to the mountain side or
running the tires through the sand along the coast, no matter where
you are this Jeep will provide all the fun one could ask for.
Sporting a sleek orange with a black accent paint job, it is hard
to keep your eyes off this beauty! When doing the restoration both
the front and back axels were replaced. The front was swapped out
for a Dana 35 and the rear axle was replaced with an AMC 20. This
jeep's original engine has been swapped for a more powerful and
reliable 360 CID V8 which is bolted the original T176 Tremec
transmission that is backed with a Dana 300 Transfer case. Before
the engine swap, this Scrambler had 63k miles on the odometer.
Since the rebuild, less than 7,000 miles have been recorded. Other
work that was completed on this Jeep during its restoration process
was; Replaced the original shocks with Monroe Shocks, new body
mounts, 2.5 in Spring lift added, Parktronics electronic
distributor, and add LED taillights. When climbing into this CJ8,
you will notice that the whole floorboard along with the bed has
been sprayed with a fresh coat of bed liner, making its easy to
clean after you go cruising. A fresh pair of black synthetic
leather seats have been added along with a custom gauge cluster. So
come grab this slice of sun set and drive off into the adventure
that awaits.
