1985 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler Laredo Description

No Reserve. Sold as is. This Jeep needs a good restoration and has been having problems with electrical and running, "If" I get it started and drive a mile or more it will die and will not restart. I have changed coil, ignition module, cap, plugs, wires, etc... and have also tried Nutter Bypass. Leaks oil and has quite a bit of rust see photos. Feel free to ask questions. I will answer honestly and to the best of my knowledge.

History

A long wheelbase version of the CJ-7, the Jeep CJ-8 was introduced in 1981 and manufactured through 1986. The American Motor Company built the CJ-8, a 103-inch-wheelbase pickup with lots of rear overhang, as a replacement for the CJ-6. CJ-8s used the traditional transfer case with manual front-locking hubs to engage the four-wheel drive. During that time, most CJ-8s had either a four or five speed manual transmission, but three speed automatic transmissions were also optional.

For many Jeep enthusiasts, the CJ-8 is also known as the "Scrambler," which describes the appearance of the package in which many CJ-8s were presented, which included tape graphics and special wheels. The Jeep CJ-8 "Scrambler," is a limited edition classic and came in hard- or soft-top models. There were only 27,792 CJ-8s produced from 1981 to 1986 and only 2,015 in 1985.
(81-8,355 82-7,759 83-5,405 84-4,130 85-2,015 86-128).
Former President Ronald Reagan owned a CJ-8 and used it on his California Ranch.
