After the CJ-6 was phased out in 1975, Jeep brand owners again clamored for more room. AMC
responded with the CJ-8 "Scrambler." This little truck was similar to

for added cargo space.
The components were largely similar to those of the CJ-7,
but never offered a V8 in the CJ-8 Scramblers and six-cylinder automatic
transmission could have AMC 904 model.
Known internationally as the CJ-8, the open cab truck was
available with soft or hardtop roof. A version of the Scrambler steel hardtop
was exported to Australia
and a popular service agency U.S.
government. UU. Scramblers used in Alaska
cast panel with insulation and automatic transmission.
Former U.S.
president. UU. Ronald Reagan was often seen driving his blue Scrambler at the
ranch "Sky Ranch".
The Scrambler was replaced by the Jeep Comanche pickup truck
of similar size. Although they were not the best sellers at the time, today the
Scramblers are most popular among collectors and SUV manufacturers.
