Tencha HJ-60

Hi all Cruiser fellows .. as many already know here is my sotry .. well at least I will try make it nice.

The story start many years agoo .. when I saw the next door new 62 ( off course here with a 2H ) was a grey unit hi roof .. yes .. I was definately in love !

Years later and still dreaming in a Land Cruiser .. ( and saving money ) take a desision and start searchin the best that I can afford .. Tencha ..

I saw a white HJ60 from 1987 ( I saw in 1997 ) drived by a old man, with a " for sale " and pursuit it until his home .. Dealing I bought Tencha ( weeks later ) in 7500 USD ..

Was rusted and the 2H diying .. but still beauty inside. The reason that the old man sale, was he buy a new one .. yap HDJ80 but another history.

I start selling my old Supra ( 1987 ) 2.8i and with this money start fighting with some rust in Tencha, mechanila issues .. water pump .. alternator, vacc pump .. and some simple sutff ..

I ran my Tencha from 317,XXX km ( when I bought ) up to 447,XXX km .. when the engine sayd that's all.

After a long rebuiling process .. I get it beauty painted, no rust, and fresh rebuilded with all Toyota Parts 2H.
