    That's amazing! We hit a hole like that in bonzen's truck and snapped the rack in half and sheered the f911 holding it on! You got lucky man!

    my coil buckets are gusseted and have the secondary shock hoops on top of that, and the energy went straight into the frame...

    we recently repaired 6 inches of torn front frame and another driver side motor mount...

    i should have reinforced the frame and stock motor mounts back when i gusseted the spindle and coil buckets... i may eventually have to cage it...

    No maybe about it homeskillet. I haven't torn or broke anything frame related since the cage. I also took a chunk of 1 3/4" moly and slid it into the end of the frame rail from the front of the truck, and beat it in as far as it would go with a 5 lb sledge. I got about 5' of tubing in, then welded it to the frame anywhere that I could see it through holes.
