When we first saw Robert Carmichael's Scrambler we thought it "sure was a purty Jeep," but we never really thought he'd take such a pretty Jeep wheeling. Then we got to talking to him and found out that, while it is pretty, he's had his share of damage to it while out wheeling and has simply repaired it so it doesn't look like the normal clapped-out wheeling rig.
Obviously, a bright-orange '82 CJ-8 is going to catch your eye. Even more so when it looks so good. But as you get closer, notice the interior is set up for a rig that gets driven. There are creature comforts such as a heater, comfortable seats, and a top, which can or can't be run. The rollcage is well-thought-out and nicely executed, and the Jeep retains a rear seat for passengers.
Underneath that glossy exterior, this West Jordan, Utah, resident's Jeep is all business. Robert did the modifications needed to get out and enjoy wheeling, without all the bells and whistles a lot of us get caught up with.
