With the amount of trail running that you do since you bought the vehicle I would invest in a proper set of bash/belly plates sooner rather than later, if you have not done so already. You seem to push the extreme from the photos and this piece of equipment would be money well spent. I am sure the OME also made a huge difference for you.
Also at what tyre pressure do you run when out on the trails as photographed? Might just be the angle but your tyres seem very hard? I have found that at about 1.6-1.8 bar you gain a lot of traction, although one also loose some clearance obviously.
Enjoy, which you already seem to be doing

hi.
yep have gotta invest in some bash plates.
my tyres are always set at one bar when offroad,i do this without fail, but yes in those pix they arent flexing much which is strange, when taking a break they always look flat!
most of those pix were taken at chimes on saturday, a huge old mine area just off snake road benoni, gauteng. great play pen.
i used it as my off road bike training area for many years,great place to test stuff as it has all types of terrain.

Chat to Charlie Brown on the "other side" (4x4community) regarding bash plate. I got mine from him and they will take a knock if they need too. That was also the first thing I saw when I drooooooooled over your pics.
