    Does anyone know if the forward crossmember below the trans cooler, the crossmember that has the tow d ring, is just bolted on or is it also spot welded? Thanks

    That sucks. 2019 with less than 60,000 miles and I already have rot. I checked with the dealer today the crossmember is $375 which I would have paid if there was no welding involved .

    If you have nose rot, I'd be really concerned about the rest of the frame and underpinnings.

    Assuming you are in salt land, are you using best practices for corrosion prevention?
