From there, the GM dual-circuit master cylinder sends the fluid out to the Wilwood disc brakes at each corner. An Ididit steering column replaced the original and the brake pedals connect to a Hydroboost unit under the hood. A Tuffy locking center console sits between the seats for secure storage, and the stock glove box is still in place for maps. Of course, this Jeep has A/C and gets it courtesy of a Vintage Air system. These are “digital gateway system” gauges that communicate with the J1939 ECM system, just like the newest trucks. In the interior, the front seats are from Recaro and the single rear passenger seat is a Corbeau Safari Fold & Tumble Seat, designed specifically as a direct bolt-on. The body was painted “Legacy DT Green” by Straightedge Auto Body, in St. A few items, like the grille and headlights, are clean originals from a donor Jeep. The rest of the body parts, hood, tailgate, etc., are top-quality steel reproductions from Omix-Ada. The aluminum body was fitted with high-clearance aluminum tube fenders from GenRight Off Road. For this build, the full-length body was used, as this provides more space for gear when taking long trips down the unpaved road less traveled. Both bodies will fit the original or a ThrottleDown Kustoms Scrambler frame. Aqualu makes two bodies for the Scramble-a standard-length unit and one with the tail bobbed behind the axle. Since Scramblers are rare, and clean Scrambler bodies are even rarer, a new aluminum body from Aqualu was utilized. The frame is set up to utilize a custom, long-travel suspension, developed and built by Legacy utilizing GenRight components and King coilover shocks and bump stops.
It’s designed to fit a PSC steering power box. It’s much stronger and will last longer than any OE Scrambler frame. This frame is made from 2x4x3/16 box tubing rather than the open-channel design of the original. This frame is modeled off of an original AMC frame.
The Legacy Scrambler CJ8 sits on a custom frame from ThrottleDown Kustoms. Legacy Scrambler Conversion calls the package the “Dualsport TDI.”
It’s the best of the reproduction parts available today, along with some superior fabrication and integration skills by the team at Legacy. This isn’t a worn-out old barn find that has been repaired and upgraded. The Jeep CJ8 or Scrambler hasn’t been made since 1986, but now thanks to Winslow Bent and his team at Legacy Scrambler Conversion, this classic Jeep is now available as a virtually new, trail-ready rig.
