1985 Jeep Scrambler CJ-8

This 1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler, combines the unmistakable character of Jeep's classic CJ platform with the added utility of the desirable long-wheelbase Scrambler pickup configuration. Power is supplied by AMC's durable 4.2-liter inline-six, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and dual-range four-wheel-drive transfer case. Finished in a rugged black textured exterior coating, this CJ-8 has been upgraded for trail use with aggressive BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires, aftermarket polished wheels, lifted suspension, heavy-duty front bumper, Warn winch, auxiliary lighting, roll bar, and protective fender flares. The open cab and compact pickup bed preserve the distinctive proportions that have made the Scrambler one of the most recognizable and collectible members of the CJ family. The interior retains the straightforward, purpose-built character expected of a classic Jeep, with simple instrumentation, manual controls, aftermarket auxiliary gauges, upgraded audio, and twin shifters for the transmission and four-wheel-drive system. Additional equipment includes a Power Tank onboard CO2 air system, useful for airing tires back up after trail use, along with heavy-duty rocker protection and a practical rear cargo area. Produced only from 1981 through 1986, the CJ-8 Scrambler has become increasingly sought after for its combination of classic CJ styling, greater wheelbase and cargo capacity, and relatively limited production compared with the standard CJ-7. With its desirable 4.2-liter six-cylinder drivetrain and extensive off-road upgrades, this 1985 Scrambler offers a distinctive combination of vintage Jeep appeal and trail-ready capability.
