Jimny diff protection

Off roading is like shagging slappers, you can never use enough protection

Yes and it's always nice to get home under your own steam and not on the back of a recovery truck
Bits4Vits beanie hats????
Put me down for one of those Dave!!
I don't intend spending loads lifting mine so anything to minimise damage whilst on my way to the pub :silly: works for me.

I don't have it on day to day but it's taken a bit of a beating lately.

with one of those, you're sure to catch every little rock and bump.

Fun fact - everyone says that my bash plate must massively reduce my ground clearance but I've measured it and t t only decreases ground clearance by about 5mm. The front diff drain plug partially protrudes through hole

And Ive never had a problem with articulation. As the terrain changes, the radius arms move up and down and the plate just follows suit.

I've got a bash plate like yours and I find it helps to get over things where the diff would dig in and catch it now slides over

Exactly!!
That's the whole point of it, not so much to stop you stoving your diff pan in but more of an aid to getting it over rocks, mud etc.
It's not a bash plate but a skid plate.
Especially for those of us running no or minimal suspension lift it can be used as a tool to aid navigation of otherwise impassable or tricky obstacles without taking too much damage.
Coupled with a decent height suspension lift where a couple mill of ground clearance lost would make less of a difference I would have thought more people would be fitting them.

Yep. I did a small trip recently. Through a bit of mud. My plate acted like a ski and glided up the mud where as the other guy without the plate dig in and had to have a few attempts
