Ya it is just forums so pictures don't prove anything.
Ya all sleds have problems. But Ski doo has had a lot in 07 &08 I have also seen one tap a tree enough to bend the front bumper,pipe a bit, and distort some plastic ,thing was the tunnel crumpled up . in 2000 I built some suspension brackets about the same size, small, as the XP (small surface area that it attached to) and yep the tunnel also started to bend around the bracket. Just think all those aftermarket tunnel braces/suspension brackets are larger and have a larger surface area to distribute the impact across, even the 07 had a larger one. But hey, they wanted to save weight. I did also, but decided to add some material so it would last longer, when I had to replace the tunnel
But it is the internet so believe what ya want.
anyway most of the problems I believe we are seeing is from quality control, or lack of
