VIGILANTE Scrambler
Jeep CJ-8
The ultimate 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 Ford Broncos, Toyota FJs 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 9 months.
An Architecture Engineered to Excel.
A Vigilante-proprietary chassis built to our rigorous specifications by RoadsterShop to master modern power.

Under the hood: a crate MOPAR HEMI SRT-8 392.; a naturally aspirated modern V8 that delivers 485 horsepower and that can be serviced worldwide at any JEEP dealershop.

A Bowler automatic transmission or a Tremec 5-speed transmission is paired with an Atlas-II twin-stick transfer case that allows you to shift on the fly, ensuring absolute control over any terrain.

In exclusive partnership with RoadsterShop, we designed a modern, proprietary chasssis that hosts new Dana 44 front and Dana 60 rear axles.
