Cummins 6bt Conversion

[maxamillion2345]

So with this crap day light savings non-sense and winter, I'm upgrading my interior lighting. The 92s didn't come with anything fancy but I have two dome lights and a map light so they're all getting LEDs.

Anyone know if the Dome lights should come on together? Should either turn on with the rear doors?

Currently, both domes come on with either of the front doors or the hatch. They do not come on with the rear doors.

Also looking at adding something for the hatch/cargo area.

In my '94, both domes come on with any of the 4 doors or the hatch.

In my '96, the front dome comes on with the front doors, and the rear dome comes on with the rear doors or hatch.

Either way, it sounds like you have issues with the door pins/associated wiring for the rear doors to me.

 

[maxamillion2345]

Yeah those door switches are probably corroded from lack of use but wasn't sure. Thanks man!

I added another OEM dome light to the hatch. Awesome when camping. I do have a problem with one door not turning on dome when open. Replaced switch but nothing. It's my door I leave open when camping since it doesn't turn on any lights inside.

 

[maxamillion2345]

Haha, that's great. Added an OEM dome to the hatch huh? I don't think I have a spot for one but mines a FJ80 so maybe that's why.

 

[Mr Cimarron]

You should have plenty of room. Since it points inward when hatch is down it works great as a rear cargo light. Rigged it up to come with the doors like the others. Used cheap Chinese LEDs off amazon in all of them.

Dude.... Where. It looks like your in Iceland!

 

[maxamillion2345]

Lol thats Nevada with some snow!

Kinda figured it was the eastern side of the Sierra, awesome tundra looking areas.

Any idea the elevation?

 

[maxamillion2345]

6-8 thousand ish.

Yeah thats North Eastern NV

Yep.

Blew the high pressure steering line from pump to box. Blew the crimp right off.

Bought fittings to convert box and pump to -6 JIC fittings.

So I uhh got my new line made, and made up some spares too, retried that obstacle and no problems!

Would you mind sharing the info on the fittings you used to adapt the box and pump to -6AN? and what are the specs on the hoses you had made up. I would like to do the same for my 97.

Can't remember which went on the pump and which went on the box but I'm running just the stock cummins pump and 80 series box.

-6 x 16-1.5mm Inverted Flare AN fitting, Metric
-6 x 16-1.5mm AN to bump tube fitting with O Ring

As for hoses. I build a lot of hoses at work for forklifts so I used some eaton -6 JIC fittings and hose, it's just -6 hydraulic hose but not sure on the pressure ratings. I'd have to look at the hoses. I'd say somewhere around 3k psi should do you well. Any hydraulic shop should be able to build you some. Tell them it's for a forklift?

I also came out of the back of the box with the fitting and used a 90* -6 JIC female male adapter, so I could just loop the hose up and over to the box.

 

[Dirty Koala]

I have ordered up both of those fittings, I beleive the o-ring version is the pump side and the inverted flare is the toyota box side.

I was planning on using a JIC/AN -6 female 90 at both ends of the hose to screw into the two adapter fittings. Is that how you routed yours?

Also, so I don't get hosed when I go to get some lines made up, what is a reasonable cost to expect per line?

Coming out of the back of the pump I have the adapter (-6 male jic) and then I used a male female 90* -6 JIC adapter to go straight towards the hood, in a perfect world you don't really want 90* adapters in your system but whatever, then I used a small chunk of -6 hose with -6 female JIC ends on it, ran it up in a loop and came back down straight into the box. You could use whatever ends on the hose you want but it makes it easier IMO with straight fittings, easier to clock the hoses but it can be done with a 45 or a 90 on one end, more complicated when you put two 45s or 90s because the hose has a memory and you need to know how you want the ends clocked. I feel like a straight hose has more versatility for me as well, I carry a pile of adapters to adapt up or down sizes and different angles and to adapt to boss or flat face o ring, so I can always use it elsewhere on someone elses rig or whatever...

Personally I just felt straight straight was easier, and then use whatever adapter you need. There's probably an argument in there about restriction of adapters vs hose ends where adapters lose but hey, it's a give and take. If you can make a 90 on one end work for you that could work out pretty well I think and still be easy enough to clock -- just remember the memory of the hose, you probably want the fitting perpendicular to that. Okay so that was kind of flip floppy but hopefully you understood what I meant. I'll snag you a picture...

I think a short hose from the pump to the box should run you around 20$ fittings are probably a few bucks each plus hose plus time to make the hose. Adapters would probably run you I'd say 5 ish bucks each.

I was worried about the hose memory, that hydraulic line doesn't like to twist much.

Your way of using seperate 90 fittings makes a lot of sense. Would be great if you could grab the length you used for the hose...not including the 90's.
