Oddmodman Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Thought some of you might enjoy this, or be appalled. Either way. Think this is a Scrambler hardtop. Anyway, the body actually looks great, though it only takes up half of the whole machine :shake: . Btw, it's in my hometown of Fairbanks, Alaska. http://fairbanks.craigslist.org/rvs/3201443393.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedaw Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I actually kinda like it... :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Actually not as uncommon as you would think. The USPS ordered a smattering of these with the hard tops (Called the "World Top") for postal service. I think they were mostly ordered for Alaska.

Minuit Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 :hmm: Not terribly sure what to think of this. I've honestly never seen one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuit Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Now that's pretty neat. I wonder what it actually rides like on the highway. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knever3 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 That's really cool, a wrangler with storage space. What a novel idea!! Everyone decides not to buy one because they are not as practical who knew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green Moose-buggied CJ8 looks to have the Overlander top. AFAIK, the Alaskan Postal Jeeps didnt have the window on the side: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, the Alaskan Postal Jeeps didnt have the window on the side: That's correct. The Overlander was kind of the civilian version of the AK Postal Jeep. Most went to Sweden and Australia. Used to see them a lot in Oz. Always liked 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfreeman616 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 the green one was originally an "alaskan postal jeep," as they are often called. the window on the side was added by whoever put it on the chevy frame i'm guessing. it's not right for the overlander top. a guy here in michigan had one for awhile, wouldn't mind having one.

Sir Sam Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'd really like to have a CJ8 with one of those tops....always loved that "world top". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 That is not a (&^( Wrangler!!!! :D Yeah, the extended but still removable CJ8 hard top is not as cool as that factory hardtop that is part of the body. Cruising in one of those would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddmodman Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Wow, seeing the factory pic really changed what I thought about it actually. I liked it more! These things actually really remind me of LWB Samurais with hard tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
