    @TheStevo how's the reinforced frame been 6 years later? Did it cause any issues down the road?

    No problems. I've put a lot of fast, rough and hard off-road miles on the truck in the last 6 years. If doing any kind of pre-running or long-travel type off-roading I think it's a must to reinforce frame as much as possible, which I've done. My frame is still in good condition. And I live in a dry and salt-free climate so never had issues with major rust.
