How much better are the upgraded Bash plates on the Black Diamond vs what comes with the Base?

Are the Base plates still really good for offroading?

Facts still need to come out but I believe one of the differences where the quantity not quality... meaning the upgrade was more of them in other areas vs just the 1 in the front.

Thats what i originally thought as well. Until you start reading the Black Diamonds standard options. They say Bash plates upgraded. And then clearly stated Stronger Bash plates. Which makes me think there thicker.

Pretty sure the Base 'bash plates' will be plastic and the upgraded will be some kind of thin gauge steel. You will soon find any armor from the factory will be inadequate for any kind of real off roading. Weight and cost and EPA mileage are the factory concerns. There will be a slew of aftermarket companies for upgrading to a more suitable protection.

Will be good to know whether the Broncos which ran Rubicon trail had the upgraded Badlands bash plates.

I haven’t seen any photos of the standard bash plates yet.
