Frame assembly for a vehicle

A chassis for a vehicle, the chassis comprising:

• a frame having a first end and an opposing second end, the frame including:
• a first frame rail;
• a second frame rail spaced from the first frame rail;
• a reinforcement assembly including at least one longitudinal reinforcement member and a plurality of plates coupled to the at least one longitudinal reinforcement member, the plurality of plates coupled to an exterior surface of the first frame rail along a length of the first frame rail, the at least one longitudinal reinforcement member extending below the first frame rail;
• a first cross member coupled to the first end of the frame and extending between the first frame rail and the second frame rail;
• a first support bracket extending at an angle between the first frame rail and the first cross member, the first support bracket releasbly coupled to the first frame rail and the first cross member;
• a second support bracket extending at an angle between the second frame rail and the first cross member, the second support bracket releasbly coupled to the second frame rail and the first cross member;
• and
• a second cross member coupled to the opposing second end of the frame and extending between the first frame rail and the second frame rail;
• wherein at least one of the first cross member is releasably coupled to the first end of the frame or the second cross member is releasably coupled to the opposing second end of the frame.
