Was going back and forth about getting the A-arms powder coated, stopped into the Line-x place down the street and was shooting the bull and decided to give it a try. Came out pretty good! What a pain to get the A-arms off. Dropped sub-frame and then took apart. All said and done was about 2 hours apart. Waiting for some more of those plastic rivets that hold on the bottom panels to finish putting back together. Also the shocks need to go back on. Will post some more pics after.

Looks good, why didn't you just take off the A-Arms? Would have been a lot easier then ripping the entire front clip off.....

Had bent subframe as well needed replacing ..couldn't believe I bent it only put 600 miles on

Yep 2012, no didn't hit anything I ride pretty hard but you wouldn't think it would bend it
 
Oh shitty deal! Did you brace the new one? The grizztracks guesset kit is the way to go, have it on a new subframe last year. Took some pretty good hits and its still straight.
