I made my own base plates, because the factory models tore out twice. there is no real frame to attach to.
I can't believe there's any way on earth that the Demco base plates on ours could ever tear out. I mean they don't bolt to the frame as per say, but slide in behind parts of the frame, so that there is no pull on any of the bolts. They just keep it from falling off actually. As for the JK series Wrangler, they're better than ever, in every way on any terrain. Just consider the improved highway ride and the electric sway bar disconnects on the Rubicon for really rough terrain for example.
