even if it was rhd it would be hard to get an engineers cert for 3" BL and damn long shackles would not be looked upon well plus everything else

Sorry Jimmy but that's a POS IMHO....
It looks like it was really done on the cheap -The 3" BL (would have to go), those shackles(would have to go), no shckle reversal, no mention of diffs or locker...
Heck in most of the pics there's no wipers - suggesting it was full of rust , somones bogged it up & just painted it.....
Exhaust right under the door ready to burn any un suspecting driver/passenger.
Big Dana30 push by v8 turning 38 swampers - not really showing strength....bet it even has 260x unis.... and the rear diff pinion angle is WAY off....
Sorry that is an absolute POS....

Prolly substituted the AMC 360 for a replacment V8 and sold the 360 to a drag nut. The 700 trans would be strong enough for the power, but the big "ifs" are the tyres (too big) and the suspension. Extended shackles make a CJ steer like a dog at the best of times.
But my main concern is - is it a CJ8 Scrambler???? Looks more like a CJ7 to me with the short body tub.
My 2c worth.
