Or just haul one of your younger kids around all the time...Unless I keep a full tank it;s going to generally ride a bit high. Hmmm....When I take the hardtop off it;s going to get worse. I could strap a couple 45 lb weights in the back.
05 Flame Red TJ Build
- Thread starter JMT
- Start date
I feel like I'm watching a build in fast forward. The effects are dizzying! 
That would work. I hope they do decide to come more often. Now that we have two TJ’s everyone has a seat. My wife talks about a JKU down the line. I say to her, “It won’t be the same. You want a TJ. If not, at least direct your thoughts to a JL.”
The day came for me to install the Savvy GTS. This is something I wanted to get done before Moab. It’s been sitting in the box for months. A couple of years ago I did the stockGTS mod that gains 1-1.25”. It kept getting beat up, and now that I’m in the PNW, they put chemical on the road, so it’s a constant hassle to prep and paint after each run. Savvy Aluminum was a logical choice. I’d already trimmed the crossmember to clear the TB, so I added a nutsert to make up for that mounting spot. Before I had 15 5/8” clearance at the lowest spot. Now I have about 16”.

Time to install the Savvy tailgate armor. The tailgate just looked like crap from the PO and I kept hitting the spare coming out of ravines, so I decided to spare delete and start armoring up.
My paint is not nearly as good as @Alex01, and the red seems a tad darker. I used the PW4 Duplicolor cans followed by lots of clear coat. Meh, it’s ok. I may wrap it someday and should have from the start.

Now I need corner armor!
When you stretch your rig, I’ll buy yours and keep them silver! 
Thanks Alex for the Savvy pucks and KC lights. We’re going to have some fun! What a treat!
@Alex01, a question for you. The raised Genright Body Mounts are advertised to replace a 1” BL. We’re all running 1.25”. I’m sure you got around that somehow.
On the other hand, check out these Swag Bertha raised body mounts. Look how they don’t have anything that hangs down and liable to get hit and knocked and bent. The angles look better to me, like they’d just slide over something if you hit.

You're right, that’s interesting. The boxing in seems nice, but I wonder if it’s necessary and how the measurements compare. They look to me to hang down more, but I just ordered the GR ones so I have a bias I want Confirmations on.
NashvilleTJ used the swags

If i remember correctly, I believe GR has them mis-advertised and you need 1.25 BL
By? So you can wear out another sandpaper disc with your grinder.
What do we do with the inner C’s on the Savvy MUA system? Seems like they would conflict.
I have a GR universal crossmember so I didn't have any inference issue.

I have the SWAG mounts also just haven't gotten to that part yet to install them.
It's been discussed in another thread about why the SWAG mounts are as good at the GR ones but I don't remember whos thread it was in.
