    After close to 3 up and down years of wheeling my beast pretty roughly, I have started to notice a lot of buckling and tearing going on in the sheet metal of where would be behind the stock bumper, the metal directly under the headlights on both sides. After just examining it a bit, I have noticed it happens to be tied into the radiator core support. I have been searching like a madman for ideas and pictures, but have come up empty handed. Are there any members on here that have a caged/tubed radiator core support on their front end? All else is fine, and I have not observed any other cracking or rips in the sheet metal in the other areas of the body. Thanks!

    Pics of my cracking are a carbon copy of this right here:
