ya bud, I started a thread last year about this. I have broken 3, my dealer warrantied all of them. I got sick of breaking them so I welded a solid filler piece on both sides to beef it up a bit, I've got over 1000kms now with no issues. it's weird tho, I have buddies that are jumping WAY WAY bigger then me and they haven't broken any. I can't explain it??? it's not lack of grease or lube on the ball joint, or shafts.

ya the 13 and 14 brackets are the same according to my dealer.
I've looked at my 13 & 14 & can't find any difference.
Since they seem to be failing at the shaft, I'm planning to weld up a small gusset to go around the shaft from front web to rear web... nothing big, but shouldn't take much.

fixed
here is how I beefed mine up. worked like a hot dam.
I also attached a couple pics of a running board that broke on my buddies xm. I don't think this will be an issue cause this is the only one I've herd of. probably just a bad weld.

This:
Is pretty much what I was thinking... but just doing the first 2" or so down by the shaft.... looks like it's pretty solid man, nice!
Pretty easy to do to, little sheet metal & call it good.
