broken hardcore bar
so as the tittle says, My OTTP hardcore bar is broken. I was checking something out under my car and noticed my hardcore bar is cracked right where the rear beam rest on it close to where the bar bends. I don't know how old the bar is, it was on the car when I got it. It seems like the old design from looking at the new ones they sell. I have herd of them cracking at the mounting point. Anyone else have this happen? Guess its time for a Powell bar.

Good call!
That's why you buy Powell. Lifetime warranty.

If its the old design you have a broken Powell bar not OTTP.

Are the bolts coming loose and then shearing?
