Here's a question for those who know these yerfs ... Should the pair of tubes that support the front suspension mounts come off of the main frame at a slightly upwards angle or level? Mine come off the front going upwards. I can't see any visible cracking in the paint at any of the joints or unusual bends on any of the front frame/cage tubing, but this thing definitely took a hard hit on a rock just about dead center and an inch or so below the a-arm bolts. It was enough to bend the front suspension mount plate backwards and cause the suspension to bind when the shocks were at full extension. I heated and bent the plate back (not perfect as there's still a bit of curvature where the a-arms meet the plate).
