Selling my ARB 60 bumper. Still on truck right now. This is newer style ARB $750. Not interested in shipping this. Add an extra $250 and take the quadatec winch too. Think it’s a q9000s or something like it.

Is this the 60 for sale, or is this a different one?

No this is the one I’m keeping. The blue 84 is for sale though!

said the guy with 8 vehicles...yep. Not just talkin' the talk honestly I’ve also got a boat for sale and may pull the 60 and just let the boat sale finance the truck now THAT'S the way to think. Rarely have I seen anyone get "attached" to a boat .. hell me and the 60 have a heck of a lot of history That was the reason for my comment in the first place. If anyone on the CottonLand site is "known" by their 60, it's you! HAHA!

As like many 60 owners, my intake hose was cracked and brittle. I reached out to CityRacer a few months ago about the possibility of a reproduction intake hose. Last I week a got an email about trying out a prototype reproduction intake hose and then a box showed up. 60 owners finally are about to have an option for one of the most commonly broken or missing pieces in the engine bay.

Did you paint your truck gold?

VERY nice! You know if he's going to also reproduce the support strap that holds the intake hose to the fender?

 

[JTU]

@dnp I never knew there was a support strap. Mine must be missing it. Got a pic of one?

Yeah, I'll post a shot of it.

Nice looking repro of that hose.......

A/C got started blowing hot air all of a sudden. The compressor and clutch both are spinning smooth and quiet. I figured it may have just been low on r134 (it’s been converterted) but when I plugged the gauge into the low pressure port it said it wasn’t low. Any A/C experts? Possible a clogged valve or port or something?

 

[FJ60Cam]

Do you hear the clutch engage and notice the rpms respond?

Is this at idle or all engine speeds?

 

[offr0adlim0]

Look for bubbles through the sight glass

When i press the a/c button the clutch engages but I can’t tell any notice in the RPMS. It blows hot as all rpms and speeds.

Where is this sight glass??

 

[FJ60Cam]

Where is this sight glass??

It is the top of the drier, mounted high on the passenger side of the radiator shroud.

 

[dnp]

Yeah, I'll post a shot of it.

Just remembered I took, but forgot to send, photos of that strap

@FJ60Cam @offr0adlim0 found the sight glass. When running it is clear. Immediately after turning the A/C on it it foamy bubbles.

You are low on Freon. The do it yourself kit shows pressure level not Freon. It is possible for pressure to exist without Freon.

Would one of those bottle of A/C recharge help?

 

[offr0adlim0]

You can give it a shot but your pressures maybe off until you put the system under a vacuum.

What’s your engine temp? AC will cut out if engine temp gets too high
