Guess who didn't get hardware?
Bet he didn't get a sticker either.
No aluminum Savvy bumpers in near future

The sharp edges are a very easy tell. There's no speculation - but if you want to send me one to measure I can measure it so you can cross check your measurements.
I was going to call Blaine tomorrow about this - so maybe I will! I was going for convenience since I have more money than time right now

Yeah…wrong!
Did you have to include $5 in a self addressed envelope?

Remember when you used to buy CDs this way? YOLO money to a random PO Box to get CDs 12-15 weeks later?
I remember buying RC car parts that way from the magazines.
Figure it out yourself, if I told you you wouldn’t learn anything, and you’re right about the two-way street.
Put me in the no fairlead club too. I emailed and texted Gerald, no reply either.
Okay, well - I am open to talk and learn where I may be wrong but you seem to not want to and instead be cryptic. Welcome to where conversations go to die and no one wins.
It looks like that piece you linked may be multiple 6061-T6 pieces joined together by welding? Not sure what it does to strength. The Savvy one has welds only at the corners and the corner guards add strength there, and it seems to the better design.
You can maybe see the minimum bend radius in the center piece. I wonder if they took a steel design and converted to Aluminium (I speculate this is the case since that is what they have done for the belly skid).
That's why I won't wheel with the savvy one until I get the corners. I know what I have, I recognize what that is - so I am not sure why we can't converse about the relative strengths and weaknesses. I have no dog in the fight as I am not selling anything and again, don't care what people buy.
For starters Chief, half of your arrows are pointing to a welded plate and if you had a better picture you could see the bends
Care to show the crowd how much rock rash your bumper has from pushing up onto ledges? Because that's where I saw a GR bumper crack open on it's very first trail run.
Now you have me worried about mine without the corners. I may go and put this one back on.
The left bend is 90* over a very small radius. The weld compromises the strength of 6061t6 as we talked about earlier. The deck bend at the back looks just shy of sensible (that's less important that the others though), the fairlead bends don't really matter much as it isn't taking those hits. I'd have to measure the other bends on the front but some of them look much tighter than reasonable.
Feel free to put your money where your mouth is and get one in hand to measure. I could see from here theres enough issues to never bother running one (which is why I have a steel stubbie that's getting replaced).
