1982 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler SR Sport 5-Speed

This 1982 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler SR Sport is finished in Copper Brown Metallic over Nutmeg vinyl and powered by a 258ci inline-six linked to a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a Nutmeg removable fiberglass hardtop, Marchal driving lights, wood bed rails, a 3″ suspension lift, power steering, 15″ chrome-styled steel wheels, a later-model roll bar, a push-button AM/FM radio, a Kenwood Bluetooth amplifier, and JL Audio speakers.

The Scrambler was introduced as a long-wheelbase pickup version of the CJ-7 for the 1981 model year. This example is finished in Copper Brown Metallic with orange and yellow graphics and features a Nutmeg removable fiberglass hardtop, a fold-down windshield, a dropdown tailgate, Marchal driving lights, hard doors, side steps, wood bed rails, front bumper end caps, and a chrome rear bumper with aluminum end caps. A bench seat is mounted behind the hardtop. The graphics are weathered, and there are blemishes and areas of touch-up paint around the body.

The 15″ chrome-styled steel wheels are mounted with 32×11.50″ BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, and a matching spare is secured to a swing-away rear carrier. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The truck is equipped with power steering and has been fitted with a 3″ suspension lift.

The replacement high-back bucket seats are upholstered in Nutmeg vinyl and accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard pad, door panels, and carpeting. A later-model roll bar was installed to accommodate shoulder belts, and other appointments include a locking center console, a passenger grab bar, a push-button AM/FM radio, and a Kenwood amplifier with Bluetooth connectivity in addition to JL Audio speakers.

A replacement leather-wrapped tilting steering wheel fronts an 85-mph speedometer with inset readouts for coolant temperature and fuel level. Additional instrumentation includes a 6k-rpm tachometer and gauges for voltage and oil pressure. The analog clock does not work. The five-digit odometer shows 85k miles, approximately 2,500 of which were added under current ownership.
