pics, not broke all the way around, not quite as bad as i thought. going out to weld the frame back together and waiting for my chopsaw to come back (uncle borrowed it) need advice from yous guys that know what your talkin about I'm thinking the strongest thing would be to cut that lip off of the frame and weld that angle iron (see bottom pic) in there and have the other side's plate tie into that. good? bad?     |

I would say angle would be a very strong remedy and fishplate the other side.

Yeah Corey if that is what you have around, that angle will work great. The only thing that will work better would be channel.

looks pretty stout, but why did you fill in that last bolt hole after the PS box bolts? or did the MJs not have that?
