This 1982 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler is finished in red over black vinyl and is powered by a 258ci inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a black hardtop, 33″ Falken tires, an air-locking rear differential, a Warn winch, a CB radio, and a receiver hitch. Service during current ownership is said to have included performing an alignment and replacing the front shocks and the spark plugs.
The body is said to have been repainted during previous ownership and is finished in red with orange Scrambler graphics. Exterior details include a removable black hardtop, a roll bar, wooden bed stakes, wheel arch flares, tube steps, and an aftermarket rear bumper with a receiver hitch. The front bumper is fitted with a Warn winch equipped with a wireless remote, and a hi-lift jack is mounted in the bed.
Chrome 15″ steel wheels wear 33×12.5″ Falken Wildpeak A/T tires showing 2014 date codes. The spare is mounted on a swing-away rear carrier. The seller states that the shocks have been replaced and an alignment has been performed.
The cab is fitted with black vinyl bucket seats along with carpets and door panels. A cassette player is mounted in the center stack and a CB radio is mounted below the dash.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a body-color dashboard that houses an 8k-rpm tachometer, a voltmeter, an 85-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 106k miles.
The 258ci inline-six was factory rated at 115 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. Under-hood equipment includes dual batteries and an onboard air compressor. The seller notes that the spark plugs have been replaced and that the engine idles high.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The front axle features manually locking hubs and the rear differential is equipped with an air locker.
