This 1981 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler is powered by a 4.6-liter stroker inline-six linked to a four-speed manual transmission and a Dana 300 twin-stick dual-range transfer case. The body has been repainted tan and is fitted with a Warn winch, Poison Spyder front fenders, LED lighting, a bed-mounted roll cage, and a swing-out spare tire carrier. Riding on a lifted suspension and 17″ aftermarket wheels mounted with 37″ mud-terrain tires, the truck is also equipped with four-wheel disc brakes, Rancho shocks, Air Lift rear air springs, a Dana 44 front axle, a Sterling 10.25″ rear axle, ARB locking differentials, 4.88:1 gears, Bestop seats, a Tuffy center console, and a Renogy solar charge controller. Acquired by the seller in 1999, this modified CJ-8 is offered with a clean Nevada title in the seller’s name.
The truck was repainted tan with a Warn hood graphic in 2000. The Warn 8274 winch is equipped with a 125′ steel cable and a roller-type fairlead. Other features include Poison Spyder front fenders, LED lighting, a sliding rear window, a bed-mounted roll cage, and a swing-out spare tire carrier with attachments for a shovel, a jack, and a jerry can.
The 17″ aftermarket wheels are mounted with 37×12.5″ BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires. The truck is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes, PSC steering components, Rancho shocks, front sway bar disconnects, a Currie anti-rock rear sway bar, and Air Lift rear air springs linked to an on-board air compressor.
The Bestop bucket seats are trimmed in tan upholstery. Appointments include a Tuffy lockable center console, a Renogy solar charge controller, and dash-mounted switch panels for the auxiliary lights.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel is mounted on an Ididit steering column and sits ahead of a 90-mph speedometer and supplementary gauges. The digital odometer shows 37k miles, all of which were added under current ownership. A potential odometer rollover and a mileage inconsistency are shown on the Carfax report in February 1999 and March 2023. Total mileage is unknown.
The 4.6-liter stroker inline-six is said to have been installed in 2023. The seller states an aftermarket exhaust system and a 33-gallon fuel tank have been installed along with a Premier Power Welder powered by a 160-amp alternator.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Dana 300 twin-stick dual-range transfer case. The truck is also said to be equipped with a Dana 44 front axle, a Sterling 10.25″ rear axle, front and rear ARB locking differentials, 4.88:1 gearing, and a Klune-V underdrive unit.
