classic vintage chrome 4x4 cj8 scrambler inline 6 5 speed manual trans burnt ora

It's a lengthened version of its heralded model that you don't often see on the road, and it wears a striking color that really sets it apart from the crowd. This 1984 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler received a very thorough restoration that's left it in awesome shape, with some well-chosen exterior upgrades also added to maximize both its curb appeal and its utility. Comfortably familiar, yet strikingly different from its Jeep stablemates, the CJ8 features a noticeably... longer wheelbase than the more commonly encountered CJ7, with a long bed area in back to provide a truck-like presence. It's a great looking ride. Refreshed in burnt orange it appears as if it's been bronzed for posterity and the paint is in top form, with a super slick texture and a nice shine. Tubed side steps and a tastefully aggressively lift add to its already rugged appearance, while a sturdy WARN VR/8 winch with a remote cable is perched on the front bumper to give it the means to free itself from sticky off-road situations. The CJ 8 was also among the first versions of the Jeep to come equipped with modified door openings to accommodate hinged doors and they're on board here to go along with both a soft top and bikini top to give you the choice of either a sheltered driving environment or a more open air experience behind the wheel. Painted bezels surround the headlights, new fender flares are in place at all four corners and a Class III trailer hitch sits in back below a full size spare mounted on the tailgate. Climb inside and you'll be surrounded by a cockpit that's seen all the attention needed to regain top form. Mastercraft front buckets and rear bench take the place of the originals and are in excellent condition, and the beefy Rock Hard sport cage that looms over the entire interior for protection is in matching condition. Up front, the dash area is a definite high point - just its distinctive color matched steel surface is enough to make it stare-worthy, but it also houses a set of crystal clear gauges that all function as intended, while just below a set of underdash vents cool or warm the cabin as needed. You'll have a strong audio experience at your disposal while at the helm of this vintage Jeep - its AM/FM/Cassette works alongside a multi-CD changer and there's a pair of substantial speakers mounted on the rear inner fender wells. Due to its enhanced length, this CJ8 offers quite a bit of storage room behind its second row of seating and that area, like everything else inside the doors, is in great shape. Standing by beneath the hood is a fuel injected inline 6 cylinder engine that's fed a supply of cold, dense air via a Ram-style intake. It starts promptly, pulls with vigor throughout the entire power band and anchors a drivetrain that provides an excellent driving experience - the accompanying 5-speed manual transmission shifts very smoothly with seamless clutch engagement and the transfer case lever perched on the tunnel unleashes 4-wheel drive agility without a hitch. Power steering makes for easy maneuverability, while power brakes that position discs up front bring this distinctive off-roader to a stop as quickly as needed as it cruises on a set of 15" Pro Comp alloy wheels wrapped with Toyo 33x12.5R15LT all-terrain tires that boost its already stellar surefootedness to an even higher level. With its one of a kind exterior brought back to top form and teaming with a comfortable cabin and vital drivetrain, this 1984 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler offers the chance to get behind the wheel of an able bodied terrain navigator that will really turn heads.
