Tencha HJ-60 - Page 2

kling-on · 10-22-07, 03:38 PM

SWEET..... nice write up

redcorn · 10-22-07, 03:56 PM

Nice write up David and I must say that Tencha is one hot looking lady.

With the volume of mud we have here in the MidWest, I may have to invest in the tire chains.

Bueno!!!!!

Ayyyy

Verle a Tencha me quita las ganas de vender Louie.... :(

Seeing such a great rig makes it harder to sell my 60. They're just such *cool* trucks!

79fj40moneypit · 10-22-07, 05:12 PM

Very cool 60 What a transformation from full wagon to cool convertible.

Custom made here in Panamá .. easy and pretty cheap, it not cost more than 200 bucks, with a 2" square tube 10' long, some paint and welding.

No la vendas cabron ! Naa I underestand sometimes we need to re thing in all .. and are not all about cruiser. I keep my Tencha coz I can .. and I was younger when I start with she ..

Much times in my life I choose buy a tire or locker than a new jeans .. and I sell my surf board to buy my suspension many years agooo ..

Well I promisee videos no . ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HkkBKOPKGY

Some old videos that I rescue from my memories with my Tencha .. see in my related videos tapage2 ..

Thanks all for see this thread .. and make my proud 60 series owner ..

from me .. dad of Tencha

Your insight on mud has been great, second to your posts on the cheerleaders thread............

davegonz · 10-22-07, 07:58 PM

Tencha is one classy lady. I love that new top you got.

sandcruiser · 10-22-07, 08:29 PM

vendiste la tabla?!?!

Pero en serio- verla a tencha se me complica vender el mio. Pues veremos si logro mantener los dos. Ojala.

Lo que hay que hacer es hacerle internacional a la tencha-- vengate por aqui y vamos al campo! O c/ el 80 (Walter) o c/ Louie.

Landcruisin'60 · 10-22-07, 09:18 PM

Watching those videos and hearing the diesel makes me want a diesel even more. That and the soft top makes Tencha one of the, if not the coolest cruser I've seen, the chains on all 4 tires also help that

. The soft top may be happening to mine next summer... I cant wait.

On a side note, where did the name Tencha come from?

philos1 · 10-22-07, 10:58 PM

que bonita!!!!

love that rig man! and no more selling "tablas" for parts, that just hurts!!!!

Tencha .. here we have a comedy TV show ( La Cascara = The Peel ) .. younger guys with fresh ideas and not mcuh resources to play. They create a section in the TV show that was something like joking of the Nany character ( focursed to the Latin America Culture and society .. here the Nany, make much more things .. ) and the name of the Character .. aka this person that do the homework ( childs, cooking, washing clothes, dishes etc ) was Tencha ..

So Tencha do the havy work .. mud trips and carry stuf .. but my HDJ-80 it's a mall queen, and have a " yeye " ( other tale about Panamenian society ) name = Marilu ..

Indeed, that's super cool... Always dreamed there could be a removable rear option like there was in the old 4runners... Would be nice for summer here, certainly appropriate for Panama!

Sweet rig

It is one of my favorite 60's, great work!

AKcruiserfreak · 10-26-07, 02:22 PM

Great-looking rig! Your stick-to-it-ness is amazing! I think I would have died after rolling a rig with that much blood, sweat, and tears into it.

Good job.

Tapage · 10-26-07, 03:01 PM

Thanks guys... when tencha rolled (it was my fault) and I was really sad.. it's really hard to explain, because I loved tencha, and then rolled and I felt like I lost something and wouldn't be able to get her back.

After time went by and got some forces (money) together, I started again and made Tencha better.

PortFJ62 · 10-26-07, 10:36 PM

We need a to get a group and come down there MAN! Show us how to wheel mud! Sweeeeet truckx100

cruiser88 · 10-27-07, 06:31 PM

I want to know who made that top

please.

Tapage · 10-29-07, 02:48 PM

The canvas it's custom made here in Panamá by a local real craftman .. it's perfect but it's pretty close to be a first attemp by the upholsterer
