VIGILANTE
Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler
The world's first true classic Jeep CJ restomod.
THE OPEN-AIR ICON, NOW IN YOUR HANDS.
Are you looking for an open-air adventure that is bold, radical, and uncompromising? In a market saturated with mass-produced alternatives, VIGILANTE offers the exception. Completely re-engineered on a bespoke chassis and powered by a 485-horsepower HEMI V8. This is not a simple restoration; it is your future legacy, delivered in record time.
A Return to the Origins. A Redefined Architecture.
The Scrambler marks a new chapter for VIGILANTE. After redefining the Grand Wagoneers, Cherokees, and J-Trucks, we are returning to the very essence of the civilian Jeep.
Designed for those who desire a bold, topless, and resolutely different vehicle, the CJ-8—also known as the Scrambler—offers an absolute alternative to the modern Ford Broncos and International Scouts. By scaling down the platform, we have redefined our building processes. The result? You experience the legendary VIGILANTE engineering quality with a vehicle delivered to your door in just 9 to 12 months.
An Architecture Engineered to Dominate
A fully boxed chassis from front to back, built to our rigorous specifications to master colossal power.
-
Under the hood, the monstrous MOPAR HEMI SRT-8 392 naturally aspirated V8 with electronic fuel injection delivers 485 horsepower as standard.
-
A standard automatic transmission (or an optional manual gearbox) paired with an Atlas-II twin-stick transfer case allows you to shift on the fly, ensuring absolute control over any terrain.
-
The connection to the ground is handled by brand-new Dana 44 front and Dana 60 rear axles.
-
We completely replaced the original leaf springs with a four-link suspension all around. Massive stopping power is guaranteed by our 6-piston brakes at each wheel.
