Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this sweet restored 1982 Jeep CJ8 Scrambler. These Jeeps are built for the open terrain, if that's taking it to the mountain side or running the tires through the sand along the coast, no matter where you are this Jeep will provide all the fun one could ask for. Sporting a sleek orange with a black accent paint job, it is hard to keep your eyes off this beauty! When doing the restoration both the front and back axels were replaced. The front was swapped out for a Dana 35 and the rear axle was replaced with an AMC 20. This jeep's original engine has been swapped for a more powerful and reliable 360 CID V8 which is bolted the original T176 Tremec transmission that is backed with a Dana 300 Transfer case. Before the engine swap, this Scrambler had 63k miles on the odometer. Since the rebuild, less than 7,000 miles have been recorded. Other work that was completed on this Jeep during its restoration process was; Replaced the original shocks with Monroe Shocks, new body mounts, 2.5 in Spring lift added, Parktronics electronic distributor, and add LED taillights. When climbing into this CJ8, you will notice that the whole floorboard along with the bed has been sprayed with a fresh coat of bed liner, making its easy to clean after you go cruising. A fresh pair of black synthetic leather seats have been added along with a custom gauge cluster. So come grab this slice of sun set and drive off into the adventure that awaits.
