I finally plugged the holes from my deflaring. I used 5/16 S.S. carriage bolts, wingnuts, 1" OD dia neoprene washers and used bonded sealing washers on the backside. Polished the SS bolt heads by chucking them in a drill and spinning them on some 400 and 1000 grit wetdry sandpaper. I was hoping there was something more like a black nylon finishing washer for the carriage bolt head. They had something close but was wrong color and O.D. and I was already committed to the size carriage bolts.
The neoprene washer is about 1/16 thick. Used 5/16 OD black nylon plugs for the 4 rivet holes in each door with a dab of trim adhesive. I might go with bed-lining the flare areas eventually.

Daddy Went Wheelin
Daddy went wheelin with his girls last weekend.
I took vacation days off months ago for this trip & last week it seemed like it wasn't going to happen, but at the last minute it all lined up for us to go.
We went on a day trip 2.5 hours North to Holister Hills SVRA the event was the Molina Ghost Run. We arrived late but caught up with some work buddies mid day.
If you go to Holister Hills in an 80 series Never, NEVER follow a bunch of guys in full width SAS exo cage 4Runners... as @jcardona1 has warned before not to do the Jungle trail at Holister in an 80... well it looked OK at the begining & it was not marked. I didn't know it was the Jungle Trail, but once your in the trench you can't get out. So as the trail progressed it got narrow & more rutted. My girls were scared stiff & wanted out, so was I.
Long story short the Lx made it through thanks to 4 friends standing on my sliders but not without some battle wounds due to the trench warfare it went through. The damage should of been way worse than it is , I'm very fortunate.
All together it was a great day & I was very impressed with how well my 80 wheels. The 80 series is a truly a great family haulin machine. It runs for hours smoothly down the freeway to get you there then takes a beating & gets you all the way back home with no complaints.
Here is more pics & a video.

New hood decal, installed.....
Wow! That look really good. How much was it? Where did you get it?
P.S. I was really looking forward to seeing your camo completed, does this mean you are only doing the sides?
How come you have Territory plates on a LHD cruiser in the states?Picked up a 100 series.....A day after weekend but did it with my 80..

It was $40 from a local shop. I don't plan to paint the hood or roof. I want to get a Prinsu rack, which will cover most of the roof anyhow. Hoping it all ties together nicely.

I'm a bit new to off roading and live relatively close to Hollister. I've wanted to take my rig down there. Any pointers for a beginner with only 1.5" spacers as the lift?

Look I got at the party at joeys!
Its like one of those Vegas runs where you wake up with a really bad headache and bunch of tattoos that are on the opposite spectrum of who you are!
I woke up this morning and saw that black thing and the hole that was behind it and thought "what the hell did I do!"
