Did we see this picture? Just bringing the thread back to the question of frame integrity.

I was referring to the bolted brace seen here, but as per Mark A it’s just a mount for the t-case.

Well until you get hands and eyes on (bring some spray brake cleaner to degunk the spot faster) then you can tell the frame condition. Bring a flashlight, a small pick, a insp mirror to be able to see the back side easier. And a piece of cardboard or carpet to lay on, that snow looks cold and wet.
