It’s an 85 CJ-8 (Scrambler) w/ Mickey Thompson’s. Originally a gubbmint vehicle on the campus of Clemson University.
Since I lost my garage privileges, it’s become a bit of a rust bucket due to the FL salt air and a block from the beach (it’s gonna need body work soon), but I still love it. It still turns some heads, for sure.
Whenever I complain about it, guys just say “It’s a Jeep”...sort of sums it up.
Yep, being close to the water and that salty air does no justice to a vehicle. I guess the same can be said about living in states where it snows a lot. Salt is brutal stuff to say the least.
Fortunately, I live in San Jose and far enough from the coast (about an hr) so no worries here.
Take care of that baby- she’s a bute!
