I have an 09 and it gets pounded pretty hard and nothing has bent except a front A-arm but no sled takes down 6" tree trunks doing cartwheels. Running board stiffners, heavy rear springs and toss the back bumper in the bush and buy the HD one for $90. The HD bumper really stiffens the back end of the tunnel, I carry two gas cans on a 163 and no problems. I have some pic on the site in the doo section. Good solid sleds.
