This 1981 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler was restored and modified by Jeep CJ specialists Toy Box Jeeps in 2011. The truck features a full-length soft top, three rows of seating, and an A/C retrofit. The truck was fully disassembled by Toy Box during the restoration. The frame was stripped, sealed, and finished with spray-on bedliner, and the body was repainted in dark green. The truck is powered by a rebuilt 4.2-liter AMC inline-six backed by a 5-speed transmission and a Dana 300 transfer case. Modifications include a 2″ suspension lift, 1″ body lift, solid Wrangler doors, Rugged bumpers, Westin lights, and more. Per the seller, the truck has not been used offroad since it was completed, and is stored indoors when not in use. This CJ-8 is sold with a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

The CJ-8 model had a 103″ wheelbase, which was 10″ longer than the CJ-7. Previously configured as a pick-up, this Scrambler was rebuilt with a full length Best soft top. The truck was fully repainted in dark green, which the seller states consists of five alternating layers of base and clear coat. Since receiving the truck from Toy Box the seller has powder coated the exterior stainless trim black, color matched the grille, and fitted refurbished Wrangler doors.

The truck has a 1″ body lift and 2″ Pro Comp suspension lift. The five aluminum wheels are fitted with 32″ BFGoodrich off-road tires. Exterior modifications include Smittybuilt side bars, Rugged bumpers and Westin lights. The tailgate has been fitted with new hardware and hinges.

The side and rear windows on the soft top are removable, and have tinted plastic windows. The glass side windows and windshield are also tinted.

The interior is trimmed in tan vinyl, and features three rows of seating. The front buckets are from Super Seats, and two Wrangler bench seats are fitted in the rear cargo area. Other interior modifications include a locking Tuffy console with a stereo receiver and speakers, Grant steering wheel, and an A/C system with under-dash vents. A bolt-in roll bar assembly was fitted in 2012.

The heater assembly has been reconditioned, and the steering column has been rebuilt with a new tilt assembly. A replacement instrument panel with new gauges and control knobs were fitted by Toy Box, and the seller had the panel powder coated black. The odometer was zeroed at the time of the restoration, with 16k miles shown and the true total unknown.

The truck is powered by a rebuilt 4.2-liter AMC inline six paired to a 5-speed manual transmission and a Dana 300 transfer case. Per the seller, the truck is fitted with a performance engine kit. During the 2011 restoration the truck received a new radiator, radiator shroud, water pump, heater core, coolant hoses, drive shafts, headers, alternator, starter, and ignition components. A 15-gallon fuel cell and new fuel lines are fitted.

The chassis was blasted, sealed and repainted with spray-on bedliner, and photos of the truck during the restoration can be found here. New brake rotors, drums, lines, emergency brake cables, master cylinder and a new brake booster were fitted by Toy Box. The front axle is a Dana 30 with Lockrite carriers, new gearing and a 1-piece axle conversion.
