There are 3 differences. 1. Length. 2. Windshield header. The top of the CJ windshield is a different shape than the top of the TJ/LJ windshield. The CJ shape is simpler so it wouldn't be very complicated to adapt the Gr8Tops roof to the CJ windshield. 3. Door jambs. The shape of the tops...

Hey Eric, remember this one?

When I was designing the Safari Cab for my LJ, I envisioned three versions - LJ, TJ and Scrambler and I did a lot of concept images of all three versions and made accomodations in my molds for making all three versions. Gr8Tops licensed the design and for some years now has been making the LJ...

You could always buy an LJ Safari Cab from Gr8Tops and with a little fiberglass work it could be lengthened to Scrambler length. Could end up looking something like this...

The other day someone made me aware that many of the photos are now missing from this thread. Apparently the reason has something to do with changes in this site's software over the years, so other than going through each post one at a time and re-uploading all the photos, there's nothing I can...

Would the LJ-8 qualify as an "honorary Scrambler" for that get together? :)

Thank you! I couldn't be more pleased with how the Retro has worked out long term. Couldn't have done better if it had come from the factory as a pickup :).

A Retro Wrangler milestone this evening: It's been a pickup for about 75,000 miles now, and it's been a very trouble-free daily driver. Well, except for the trouble that you can't drive it anywhere without people stopping you in parking lots to ask about it :). I took this photo a few miles...

According to the article linked to in the first post:

I would think it would be very close to zero :).

I'll be there. Probably will be driving the LJ-8 again this year (photo from last year below), although every year I debate about taking the Retro Wrangler pickup, I haven't had that to Moab in many years.

Some pictures I took of it at SEMA in 2014. I've never seen another one, I wonder if this it the only one they've made?

Not sure if anyone's posted about this yet... recent article in Diesel World Magazine: "DIESEL JEEP – An “All-New” CJ8 Scrambler". If it's been posted already I apologize. https://www.dieselworldmag.com/features/diesel-jeep-an-all-new-cj8-scrambler/

Do you plan to run upper half doors and if so how do you plan to seal around them?

The YJ is 24" shorter than the Scrambler, so subtracting his 13" from the 24" extra length of the Scrambler, a YJ top would have to be lengthened 11" at the bottom into a fastback top. The wedges you describe would have to be 11" wide at the bottom, and the rear curtain will also have to be...

The LJ tub is 9" shorter than the Scrambler tub. If the o.p. took 13" out of his Scrambler, then the LJ top would be 4" too long. Also the windshield header wouldn't mate up so some mods would have to be done there, and the LJ door surrounds attach to the windshield extension bars, so some...

It's got a hemi, and the frame appears to be derived from an LJ frame.

One of the photos I took of it yesterday at the SEMA Show:

You're more than welcome to take whatever I'd bring for a test drive if you like.

I wouldn't be putting whatever I drive in the show, so you'd have to be looking in the parking lot :).
