Built from 1981 to 1986 the CJ-8 Scrambler has a 10-inch longer wheelbase that makes it a much better climber than the CJ-7 it’s based on. The CJ-8 shares most of the CJ-7’s hardware and has the telltale square door openings (like the CJ-7) to tell you it’s not a CJ-6. In stock form these trucks have a massive rear overhang that drags over everything, but the bodies and frames are often “bobbed” like this to make excellent trail Jeeps.
