    4th, Mud can be a problem to clean out depending on design.

    Me, I've just opted for a beefier tube bar setup similar to original.

    Quite true - all good points. I looked into a few different bash plates and chose the OL version as...

    - no reduction in approach angle,
    - the leading edge and base of the guard are perforated with large diameter holes which allow airflow,
    - it's easy to hose out.
    - it provides the greatest level of frontal underbody protection.
