I agree it depends on the type of riding you do. If your doing multiple jumps and such, I would think it would be wise to gusset any frame that is going to handle that kind of stress.

I don't baby my 2003 either. Never had any problems with it besides the parking brake. The EARLY 2003 models had problems with the frame and the axles, but thats about it.
