It rough but it was cheap.

I actually traded a lawn mower for it and a pretty good 79 CJ5 rolling project. I'll see if I can post pics of it.

Here's the CJ5, looks like it's got a small lift, good looking shocks and stablizer.

Damn, lucky dog!!

Did they stip the CJ8 and leave it to rust?

I'm jealous - I wish I had the space for a nice old Scrambler project.

The guy I got mine from had it. He had built anthor really nice one and had picked this one up for parts. He had like a mini Jeep junkyard at one time, used to build 'em and sell 'em. I wanted this Scrambler from the start but it was more project than I wanted at the time. He wanted $1300 for it a couple years ago but I finally wore him down.lol We've become good friends, I've bought alota parts from him. I'm tryn to trade him out of the last of his goodies. It is rough but it's fixable, I can do the pannel work. I'll probably chuck the 4cyl and go with a 304/T176 and dana 300 package. I hope the diff gears are low.

Yep, they we're either 4's or 6's. Unless I'm mistaken they never offered the 304 in them. I don't know what kind of gearing was offered but I hoped since it was a 4cyl it'd have lower gearing then when I put a little bigger tires on it the ratio would be good.
