Hello,
Here are pictures of the frame of a 2003, apparently made in Feb 03. Please let me know if this is normal on an 03.
These pictures are from the front frame rails. The gusset shown in picture 1 is on the outer side of the front frame rail, slightly to the back of the front wheel. On the passange side, the gusset is painted (powder coated) and appears to have been coated at the same time as the rest of the frame. On the driver's side the same gusset is completely unpainted.

Picture 2 shows a detail on the inside of the front frame rails. While the rest of the frame is welded sloppily (typical production welding) this part is welded better and it is unpainted on both sides. The coating from the bottom of the frame rail below has been removed on both sides.

Here are a couple of more details of the same thing:

Is this stock on a GEN 3? Could this be stock on an early 03?
Thank you very much for your help!!!
