Here's a CJ8 I picked up recently, that is going to be a little bit more of a project than I initially thought it would be. It's got good bones though, and I'm excited about putting it together. This thread is going to have a slow start while I figure out a place to work, but we'll be having some fun down the road.
As some of you know, I have a CJ8 Overlander world cab sitting in storage, but I haven't wanted to use it on my brown Scrambler. This black Scrambler is going to be a perfect candidate for the world cab!
It's a 1983 CJ8, and originally came with a 258 engine, a T5 transmission, and 3.31 gears. Currently it has a TBI 350 sitting in place, with no transmission installed. It has the original front axle installed, and the rear axle is a narrowed Dana 60, with 4.10 gears, and some flavor of limited slip... dare I hope for a true-trac? I also have the original AMC20 rear axle, as well as a narrowed Dana 44 front axle in the pile of parts.
It was originally black, and has been repainted black, although it's a mediocre paint job. It also came with a tan Acme full hard top.
Let's look at some pictures:
I don't know why someone decided to fill in the tire carrier holes.
There are pop-rivets filling some old soft top snap holes.
I'm sorry the front photo is so dark... I didn't want to push the Jeep out to the point that I couldn't push it back in by myself.
