It is not a CJ8 Scrambler with just a YJ front clipped on it.
It is a production '95 YJ / Long Chassis designed by DCX & produced by Chrysler's affiliate in Egypt (AAV), which is the same company destined to assemble the JK wrangler based Military J8 in spring 2008.
Initially produced for the army (then for civilian market) this '95 YJ/L came with factory extra frame strengthening, stock with a front Dana 30, rear Dana 44 (not typical for YJs) and military issue large air intake cylindrical filter.
It is proportioned exactly like a CJ8... & 103" wheelbase.
Otherwise, mechanically it is exactly like a YJ as you know it. 4.0L MPI 6 cyl engine / AX15 5 speed manual transmission, NP231 T-case (with obviously a longer rear driveshaft).
I had a SYE installed & custom made driveshaft by Tom Wood.
It has a custom designed coilover 4 link suspension with custom shocks from SWAYAWAY & EIBACh springs.
