1981 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler (Restored)

Location: Monterey, CA

Why It’s Curated: We have a soft spot for unique vehicles and the CJ-8 Scrambler is especially unique given its short history from 1981-1986, and its pickup truck look and functionality. The restoration on this looks to be done quite nicely and we wouldn’t hesitate to put it through its paces on the local trail. While the engine won’t win you any 0-60 sprints, that’s not the point with these Scramblers. Having fun with the top off, adding a bed to hold those surfboards, skis, bags of soil, or possibly just a cooler, is what the Scrambler is all about.
