My 1st Scrambler - FINALLY!

[Daddy Stew]

After gawking at other rigs here, on eBay and elsewhere, I was finally able to purchase a CJ-8 for my very own! It's a 1981 tub with everything underneath from a 1985. I purchased her today in Arizona and she will ship back on a transport by the end of the week, after a full soft top and doors are installed!

I look forward to learning more from yall on here. Just wishing I could transport the AZ weather back to Pittsburgh too!

Nice Scrambler!!! Have you actually seen it in person or do you have to wait till it gets shipped to PA?

Congrats! Interesting cage work on that Scrambler, I believe I saw that on the Phoenix Craigslist a few weeks ago. Looks like a good one, enjoy!

Thanks everyone! Here are the details:

• 1981 tub on a 1985 chassis.
• 4.2L, 258ci w/5 speed Borg-Warner T-5 transmission
• Power steering
• Manual brakes
• Weber carburetor
• 4” spring lift.
• Superior one piece axles
• Lock Rite lockers in front and rear.
• 4:10 gears
• Five new 33x12.50x15 BFG All terrain tires on Mickey Thompson Classic wheels

I have been enjoying it in person and will have to relinquish it to the transport driver on Thursday, but it should be delivered just before we return home from vacation! I would have loved to spend the 4 days driving it home, but I couldn't justify the doubling the expense of transporting it, much less the loss of work time. That just means I will more miles and time to enjoy it soon enough!
