Tear in framework

[mpartin88]

Good morning all,

I'm new to the Pioneer world and was doing some riding the other night and in the process of getting pulled out, ended up with the tear in the images attached. It appears this is part of the framework and is bolted in at the bottom, but I haven't had a chance to study if it is welded in anywhere else. I've found some online diagrams of the Pioneer framework, but couldn't find a call out for this specific piece, so not sure what to refer to it by.

My real question is if I bent this back into place, would JB Weld be sufficient, or do you think I would need to get an actual weld done. I'm not sure what type of weight/pressure it supports. Or, if the pieces isn't welded in anywhere and is inexpensive, maybe I could easily replace/install it.

Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Get it welded back in place and you should be fine. And buy a tow hook! As you now know that is not a good place to hook the chain!

Yeah I'd definitely get that welded. Just for peace of mind if nothing else.

JB weld lol, is not structurally sufficient. What @Tflynn said exactly. And welcome to this forum @mpartin88

Holy s***! That looks like ramming speed was achieved going the other way! LOL Time for a winch or a nice stretchy strap!

And welcome to the club @mpartin88 ! I see you're New to the sxs world, there are lots of people on this forum that will be happy to answer any questions you have.

Definitely time for a welder on that on, is the piece salvageable or to torn up?

Yep you are going to need to weld it back up. And while you are at it... Make it a little stronger.
JB weld will not hold up.
And like @Tflynn said. A tow hook or trailer ball will help in the future.

And welcome to the forum.

Good call! They have those at tractor supply too, maybe even harbor freight. I got a Warn one from Cabelas and I use it a lot for dragging stuff around with a chain.

I do wonder if beer was involved.
