Overview of 1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler For Sale by Owner

Without a doubt, the Jeep CJ is one of the most revered and beloved American brands out there, especially the older models. It was the first commercial version of the military vehicle that served the US Army. The acronym CJ stands for “Civilian Jeep.” Off-road enthusiasts loved these vehicles due to their adaptability and the wide range of aftermarket services they delivered. The CJ-8 that saw the light of day in 1981 was officially named “Scrambler.” It is believed that this model's name was derived from the approach in which a Jeep and a pickup truck were combined, or scrambled together. These are rare to come by, but we have this stunning example of a 1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler with over 309k miles on it. Situated in Terrebonne, Oregon, this trailblazer is a well-maintained vehicle that is waiting to be yours.

Exterior and Interior

As the model’s name suggests, the 1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler is a mixed-up long-wheelbase version of the CJ-7. It was built with a removable half cab, creating a small pick-up style box instead of using a separate pickup bed. At first, our subject Jeep appears to be coated in brown paint, but a closer look shows that it actually has a gold mix. The Scrambler moniker is boldly presented on both sides of the hood, while the Jeep logo is displayed on the tailgate and in front of the doors. The front of the Jeep is decked with bright fog lights and an 8,000 lb. winch with a remote. The vehicle rolls on 15” chrome wheels that are wrapped in Open Range All Terrain Tires that cater to your off-roading needs. When it comes to the interior, the seats and door panels are done in tan color. The driver gets an old-school GT Grant steering wheel while the passengers are kept entertained with a retro stereo with Bluetooth.

Engine

This 1985 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler is propelled by a 4.2L Inline-6 Stroker engine, which is reported rated for a respectable 115 HP and 210 lb-ft of torque. Utilizing a 4-speed manual transmission, this Jeep sends power to all four wheels thanks to the 4x4 system.

Showing approximately 45,122 miles, it is finished in Mercedes-Benz OEM Desert Sand paint with a matte clear coat over a Black interior with Desert Sand piping.
