1981 Blacksmith Garage Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler ANV-JS1

“A mega-build frame-off restoration of the tough Jeep convertible, 4X4 pick-up that is perfect as a daily driver, freeway cruising at 80 mph, rugged off-roading in Moab or taking the kids and dogs for ice cream with the top down on a Sunday afternoon.  This truck (almost) does it all!”

INTRO:

The Scrambler CJ-8 is the longer-wheelbase/pickup version of the popular CJ-7.

 

The CJ-8 is a good two feet longer than the CJ-7 and with a ten-inch longer wheelbase at 103 inches it resulted in a much smoother ride and allowed us to add rear seats and still retain ample cargo space.

 

For these reasons Blacksmith Garage had to build a modern version of the CJ-8 that we named “ANV-JS1”.

 

Our 1981 CJ-8 donor was completely dis-assembled to begin the restoration.
