Hi, I’m Rowdy Bolen and this is the enterta-ing story of the restoration of my 66 Toyota Land Cruiser. I bought it

in California and brought it back to Texas and here is the continuation of my story...

Well, it’s official. The readers of Texas Auto Guide have chosen Freeborn Red as the color of my “66 Toyota Land Cruiser. Thanks to all for vot-ing.

These last couple of weeks, I’ve spent more time work-ing on my wife’s store (Kids and Maternity Consign-ments) and haven’t spent much time in the garage, which results in less work on my 66 Cruiser.

But, I have done a few things these last couple of months. I built an awesome grille guard, which I talked about last issue. Still needs to be painted, but it’s functional and ready to go.

In July I built a custom roll bar, similar in style to the original roll bars built for the FJ40 Land Cruisers. Mine

wasn’t outfitted for a roll bar and I had to build and weld some supports to the frame, underneath the tub in case of a rollover.

In July, some friends and I decided to drive a 4 wheeler through a deep mud hole out back of a friend’s house in Smyer.

A few weeks later, I brought my Cruiser out and I took a couple of runs at it. That mud was so sticky and deep that it immediately grabbed my tires and I was stuck. I’ll admit, I had to be pulled out twice by a tractor. It was fun though and I look forward to more days in the mud!

Tryin To Back Out Isn’t Easy.

Rowdy
