This 1983 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler is finished in green with a black interior and is powered by a replacement 304ci V8 paired with a T176 four-speed manual transmission and a Dana 300 two-speed transfer case. Features include LED headlights, a Smittybilt winch, dual steering stabilizers, an onboard air compressor, a cab hardtop, half doors with soft uppers, and a swing-away tire carrier. Work under current ownership is said to have included replacement of the brake lines, fuel level sender, and tie rods, and installation of a heavy-duty rear crossmember. The truck underwent a mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment under prior ownership that reportedly including a repaint, replacement of the floor pans, an interior refresh, and drivetrain updates.
The Scrambler was introduced as a long-wheelbase pickup version of the CJ-7 for the 1981 model year, and this example was repainted green under prior ownership. Equipment includes a cab hardtop, half doors with soft uppers, aftermarket front and rear bumpers, LED headlights, a 9,500lb-rated Smittybilt winch with synthetic rope, recovery shackles, and a swing-away spare tire carrier.
Mickey Thompson 15″ aluminum wheels are wrapped with 35×12.5″ BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires. The truck is equipped with power steering, dual steering stabilizers, and one-piece rear axles. Braking is handled by discs in front and drums in the rear. Work under current ownership reportedly includes replacement of the brake lines and installation of a 3/8″ heavy-duty rear crossmember and heavy-duty tie rods.
The cab features replacement bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl along with a body-colored dash and black door panels. Features include textured floor coating, USB ports, Scosche speakers, and a locking center console.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a folding windshield frame. Aftermarket Speedhut instrumentation includes a 90-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, voltage, and oil pressure. The digital odometer shows 90k miles.
Power is supplied by a replacement 304ci V8 paired with a T176 four-speed manual transmission and a Dana 300 two-speed transfer case. Work under current ownership reportedly included relocating the transfer case to a lower mounting position, installing a hidden battery cutoff and an onboard air compressor with a hose connection, and changing the oil.
