Nice walk around, its nice to explain what everything does and what you plan for it. Wrap up warm. -20°C is cold.

in 1985 i got this model brand new in the army. You're missing a folding bed behind the seats, I didn't see a headlight on the roof, the exhaust can also be turned upwards. When renovating, pay attention to all cardan joints and all parts where there are grease nipples and wring out the old one properly. You will also need almost 10 kg of petroleum jelly. The winch rope is 80 m long. When the engine is in good condition, even with a load of 5 tons, it can reach a maximum of 115 km/h. I really liked this car. Otherwise, the power of the engine for pulling is 45t, it was developed mainly as a tractor for military equipment.

Hi 👋 Awesome! 🙌 This one is from ‘86, I have the bed but I removed it to get some easier access underneath 😄 When I bought it the light was already missing sadly, but the handle and the switch on the inside of the cab are there! So I might look for a replacement. I ordered a lot of grease last week. I have a friend who is Czech and owns a lot of tatra. We checked all the oils, all was good! We did see that the joints that have rubber over it, the rubber needs to be replaced but no water had come in! Next step is engine oil replacement and repairing 1 air system for 1 tire as it is loosing pressure. Brakes looked almost new when I removed the brake drum. Last weekend we flipped the exhaust up! So we don’t walk through the fumes when it is running. Very nice information of you! Nice to meet you!

You rock! thank you very much for this, im looking at a tantra for a camper truck as well due to the backbone axles and ctis. Thank you for showing the winch and stuff too. Subscribed!

[@brandonhalcyon6984]

ment to add, cause i love the V12 and pretty sure its old enough to get it to the usa

[@HenkTheCamperTank]

Thanks 😄 if there is anything in particular you want me to show let me know! More technical videos are coming. Soon it is time to register it at the Swedish DMV 🇸🇪

[@brandonhalcyon6984]

@@HenkTheCamperTank the winches lol. I love that design and bet it’s far stronger than a winch mounted to the bumper at each end. Its amazing

[@HenkTheCamperTank]

Cool! I’ll try the winch out eventually, focus right now is on technical stuff and getting a license plate for it 😄 after that the winch will definitely be on the agenda! You can also wrap it around a wheel in the chassis to use it from the front of the Tatra!!

[@janwijbrand]

What. A. Beast. I was reading up on some background info on this truck. The central load carrying tube is very interesting design! Also interesting how you highlighted those features that made you choose this type of truck.

[@HenkTheCamperTank]

Thanks 😄

[@johnperry3482]

Great videos , hard to find any info in English relating to maintaining and restoring Tatras.

[@HenkTheCamperTank]

Glad you like it! More to come 😄

Rare video talking about Tatra trucks in Engllish. Really appriciate this!

[@HenkTheCamperTank]

Thanks 🤩

[@shanjoe4472]

Looks like it consumes 100 lit per 100 km!!!

[@HenkTheCamperTank]

@shanjoe4472 Haha almost! It consumes 50 lit per 100km, it is not cheap to run! A consideration after hearing stories of people that went traveling with a newer truck is that they had to plan their route to good fuel stations that have good filtered diesel. This truck will run with a bit polluted diesel and it will not clog the diesel injectors as fast, which gives a bit more flexibility if you travel outside of Europe, USA or Canada.
