It is amazing how much better it looks with those stupid flares removed. What engineer in Japan, actually THOUGHT those were stylish? GREAT WORK FRED!!
RZR 1000 with a VW Beatle body … or. Can am Beatle , people are doing this as a loophole so they can drive their UTVs on the roads, look it up here on the tube . Your gonna want to make one after you see it. I also told D H Dave
You could use plastic body plugs/christmas tree fasteners to fill in the holes. You can leave them natural color or paint them with a plastic/vinyl dye - black or body color. You can put the square plugs back in the square holes and then put a plug in the center to cover up the hole for the screw.
I learned something interesting about these 80 series and one reason they're still so pricey. If these were traded back in at Toyota dealerships and fit a certain criteria, they yould be sent back to toyota and refurbished and sent over seas to countries in Africa and South America.
4x4 Labs in Grass Valley, CA makes a really nice weld together rear bumper kit for the 80. I have one on mine and love it. Might be a cool episode showing everyone how to weld one together on the Dirty 80
OnX trails saved me on the Poison Spider loop. I followed some tracks, thinking it was an alternate and went way off the trail. It got me back on trail where it wasn't obvious. Flat slickrock rarely has tread marks!
You could use nutcerts in the hole like your sliders on nubesock. Or small fiberglass patches on the inside and Bondo the outside. Also definitely need rattle snake covered seats now.
Good video, I picked up an Lx450 removed the flare’s and side plastic’s a while back it has so many more holes then the Landcruiser’s, still need to fill them holes. Thanks for posting
I almost got a set of land cruiser axles for about $500. Was going to put either the front axle or both under my 91 4runner. Still plan to put a 2uz in it, but solid axles will have to wait until I can get what I'm after.
about 1 min in ' it's kind of old , it's kind of ugly , was cool once , it's been replaced by younger hipper things ' ....... i take that personally ... oh hang on , Fred was talking about that truck wasn't he ?? lol

Band aids. Band aids to cover those holes would work. Use neosporin to heal the holes underneath. Give it a few weeks, good as new.
I appreciate how you call them "pieces of flair"

Hey Fred, thanks for the content.
Out of all the car/truck shows/vids I watch you have, by far the loudest impact gun
Just bed line the bottom half
looking better each time we see it
Love the tire falling! 😂😂
Always wanted one of these, minus the spiders.

Plugged the third brake light hole on the tailgate for my jeep like that.
Done that on a flair delete on a shotgun sport, looked pretty decent esp black plugs on a black car
Yur ol Buddy was just installing a cage and sliders in an fjzlxwhatever it is... Look forward to the next episode!

"Old, a little bit ugly, got a few miles, a few dents" My favorite kind of 4wd
About threw my coffee across the room when the "rattle snake" came out--THANKS FRED😅
I love the no flares look. I painted my 93 LC white . If I deleted mine, i'd have to paint. bummer.

Sweet rig, Fred. Looking forward to the ongoing build. Hopefully you'll remember to leave room for a gal pal.
One of the greatest 4x4 ever build especially the diesel, mine has 612000km on the clock and still strong

Love your enthusiasm Fred
Love the Dirty 80! Can’t wait to see the OME suspension and other details you will complete. You da man Fred!
Fill the round holes w/ the appropriate sized pop rivets.
Good video,

Don't forget to remove the rattlesnake! 😅
Regarding the holes left in the body, get some rubber bumper plugs and just push them in. :)

thanks Fred
Cool video Fred, thanks
Living dangerously with that spare tire dropping
You could tape over the hole on the outside an get some black RTV on the inside let it dry an peel the tape👍🏼
Cool vid. Do you know if you could use the third seat seat belts to replace the drivers seat belt?
How much would you want for the rear bumper plastics if you still have them?
Looking good 👍👍
Nutcerts for filling in the holes?
Can I purchase the right front fender flare?
Hey Fred,
What are you going to do with those brackets?? I need them.. 😅 From the rear doors
about 1 min in ' it's kind of old , it's kind of ugly , was cool once , it's been replaced by younger hipper things ' ....... i take that personally ... oh hang on , Fred was talking about that truck wasn't he ?? lol
Are you going to use that trailer hitch? I’ll take it Fred!
Are you going for an aussie style build? Would be cool to see some scrub bars on it to match the bullbar
Highly doubt it. Probably rock crawl it until its smashed to death.
Cut the fenders for BIG tires....
Weld it up Fred. It'll get bent anyway.
Comment and like for the algorithm, all hail the algorithm.
I miss you and your partner.
Fred we all know you and body work. 🙃yep😉
My kind of "mechanic"😂
3D printed filler pieces maybe??
You very funny...
You're going to ruin it leave it alone it'll go forever the way it is
Not worth $165k!? Come on! Lol.
what about smog CA sucks
Ruined a million-mile vehicle
First
And last at the same time! 🤣
