About this generation

The Jeep Scrambler (CJ-8) debuted for 1981 as a long-wheelbase CJ-based pickup with a removable top and a small cargo bed. It shared much of its mechanical package with the CJ-7 while adding utility-oriented bodywork and a stretched chassis. The model remained on sale in the U.S. through 1986.
