What front bashplates do you use under your 80? Specifically to protect the front of the motor where the radiator, alternator, etc. are? I have one (Aussie made from steel) but it traps lots of water and is rusting badly. Investigating a possible replacement.
There are a few commercially-made ones here, so curious what's in the north american market for 80's? I have a Superior Engineering transfer case protector (much beefier than Toyota's factory plate), and the original fibreglass 'undercover no. 1' went away some years ago.
The current one I have is this:
And it's really tough but also a pita to fit with aftermarket recovery point and as the pics show the steel tube that is at the back forms a big water trap when the item is mounted.
There is one Ebay seller I found that lists basically the same product but commercially made. Mine was a custom made small-run product though mounting and design is otherwise the same as this:
