The rare, elusive, and mysterious long-wheelbase CJ-8s are quickly becoming collector's items. If you own one of those rare CJs you now have a place to share your ownership experience.

The Scrambler Owners Association (SOA) was recently formed and is now accepting new memberships. The national organization was formed by several charter members and now boasts over 50 members from 25 states across the US.

The purpose of the organization is the preservation, restoration, and promotion of the Jeep CJs, which were produced from 1981-1986. The web site is the central focus of the organization providing a searchable directory of members, discussion forums, detail member profile section and additional features.

A national CJ-8 Scrambler-only event is also in the works for 2004. Additional information can be obtained from the website or via email.www.cj-8.org or info@cj-8.org.
