    Yeah I've been loosely looking to moving it the last couple weeks, I guess it just got prioritized.

    ...too much shit to list.
    They get worse over time, but nothing I was concerned about. Hood closed and headlights stayed attached.

    I'm sure a lot of these trucks that go off road have these cracks. It's not a typical location one would be looking at on a normal basis. The metal is paper thin. I will be moving my dual batteries to the back sooner or later.

    Yeah that's what threw me off when I saw it. I've seen reports of the inside of the wheel well cracking below the battery but not the outside.

    I have the same core support cracks, and also the top radiator support has some cracks in it as well...

    Just wait untill you get the cracks in the cab on the upper rear passenger corners..

    What are the bushings that you guys are referring to? Does that help prevent this?
