if i had it, i would drive it into the lake and go back for it in 8-9 days, then it will look a little used. it does have a cool shifter though. i do like yellow,........ on race cars not trucks

liking the all black and chrome rims....think im the only one lol

 

[CruzerCrazy]

Huh, reminds me of the paint I put on a race BajaBug in the early 80s. Nice to see the BFGs on there, I wonder if those are 35s.....

 

[83FJ604ME]

Man...that is soooo beatiful! I'm in LOVE! I would hate to take it out of the garage....but I hella would hit the trails with it! Awesome rig!

The wheels suck.

How did they get 35"s when they are still SUA?

I like the rig a lot. If the steering whel was on the left side I would be calling you Kirt and getting some info.

Dakar 2" lift, 2" bodylift = 35z SUA

ARB had this 60 on display at a local Ag show. Looks good!

arb dakar 60

the arb dakar 60 was in 4wd monthly (now 4wd action) yes it is bright but is was built by arb to show case there stuff and it has seen the outback it also starred in there simpson desert dvd it does look cool in the flesh and if i could aford it i would gladly look after it . this rebuild saw every nut and bolt replaced and i believe the budget blew out very quickly !

i have an article on the cruiser and many more pics but do not have access to a scanner at the moment.

Any idea how much of a body lift?

Look - it has "Murrican" mirrors & unbroken rear sliding windows!

Hey all, what's about with the Murrican side mirror ? Is that OEM mirror or aftermarket mirror ? I have same mirror on my BJ60 and I'm thinking about to change it, too small and not very solid.

2" Bodylift

 

[TLC Norway]

i think it looks pretty good, but i'd have to loose the yellow, the rims, and the artwork on the sides. it's a shame they removed the yoyoda logo!

 

[kling-on]

to bad the steerin wheels and the dam wrong side

 

[LoneRanger]

I promise never to polish my 60.
