No aluminum Savvy bumpers in near future

[psrivats]

So I've been on/off trying to buy a Savvy front bumper for like 2 years. They're always marked as sold out when I check, and I've probably filled out the 'email me when available' thing a dozen times.

...does anyone have any advice on how to actually catch one of these bumpers for sale?

Stalk the forum and spend all your waking moments here

(I am only partially joking)

Did you weld the fairlead on or did they?

Fairlead and hoop all bolt on.

Yes. You have to order it and wait (with no idea when it'll ship, and no response to most inquiries.) They charge your card at the time of ordering. They seem to make their stuff in small batches on demand, so they never put stuff into inventory; therefore, they never send out emails that something is back in stock. At least from my experience, anyway. Therefore, if you are okay with those terms, place the order, and you will eventually get it. If you are not okay with those terms, you pick another manufacturer. I have a lot of Savvy stuff for my LJ (most isn't installed, yet). All was worth the wait, but the wait and lack of communication was painful. I knew that going in, and I wasn't in a hurry, so waiting made sense for me.

I would gladly do this, if only I could order it. But when it's out of stock, the website does not let you place an order.

Did you call them to place an order or something?

Can't backorder their bumpers.

Oh, yeah - I forgot. Not all items are backorder-able!

It'd be a better world if you could.

I agree. I still need rear armor and rails. Last time I checked I could order blanks (no wheel arches), but not full corners, and the rails - don't even get me started...

Fairlead arrived. No notice, it was just a pleasant surprise.

I cancelled mine, maybe you got the one I cancelled! App introduced me to another member that was so kind as to sell me his. This forum is pretty great at times, even with our long arm debates
