These are pics from the old frame on "Project Dead Horse". Wouldn't hurt to check these locations on older RZR frames.

1. Forward/upper, rear suspension mounts(both sides broken).

2. Lower attachment, front steering box, vertical strut(both sides broken)

Must be a lot of flexing there.

looks like a good place to gusset!

Thanks for the heads up. Mine is a 2012 and I will check mine with a fine tooth comb this day. thanks again for the post...MD

Checked my 2012 pretty close and see no cracks, but I want to do it again while the wheels are off performing other preventive maintenance. Finding no crack indicators during the initial check does make me feel a little better though. Finzup thanks again for the post...MD

You're welcome. These are relatively easy places to gusset if you're ever inclined to do so. The frame I used for my project was a '13 and the gusset kit addressed these locations.

Finzup, this type of information is very valuable to me. I mentioned having a notebook where I place notes such as this information. This is a good entry into the book...MD
