I know my frame is about 3 sections welded together. You can see it pretty easily.

the frame of the 04 and the 08 are quite different though weed. My frame is fully boxed. Hydro-formed? That I know nothing about. It looks like 2 C-channels welded together.

All frames are hydroformed. Thats how you get the different bends and such.

As far as I know, they are pretty much the same from 02-05, and 06-08 are fully boxed frames and different front suspension.
