Abbreviated Savvy mid-arm kit questions
- Thread starter WSS
- Start date
I guess I’ll have to watch out for those rocks with screwdrivers sticking out of them with all my aluminum skids.
How many other unlikely scenarios do you plan for?
When you go out on the trail alone (no it's not the best idea in the world) like so many people actually do, no matter how unlikely the scenario it's best to have a safety net.
Contrary to the opinion of "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should", being prepared for any situation that could arise, no matter how unlikely, is the best policy!!

Better bring a trailer full of parts, then. No matter how unlikely the need for them might be...
The bottom line here is that we got a question about whether or not the Savvy midarm can solve a problem largely created by excessive and misplaced weight. This is a problem that is addressed by rethinking the amount of crap someone drags along with them every trip. But it doesn't matter because every excuse will be made for why that cannot and will not happen. Which means this is an unsolvable problem.

Believe it or not your smart ass response wasn't unexpected. I do know people like WSS, who go out solo and they do tote a trailer with them and yes even they have ran into problems they weren't prepared for.
I already do have my cake and eat it too. I just want a better tasting cake.
A cream cheese frosting is almost always better on a cake. Just make sure they don’t go overboard with the sugar in the cream cheese frosting. It takes away from the taste.
Something something about a fat overweight Jeep.
Never said I had a solution to his problem! Although, unlike yourself, I did give him suggestions that would likely actually benefit his situation.
Yes actually I did. Contrary to your belief that there is only one way to off road a Jeep, yes being light and nimble is the preferred method when tackling technical trails, but in WSS's situation that ISN"T something he is comfortable doing (losing all the weight). I' don't have to justify or repeat myself to satisfy your ego. You have offered absolutely zero positive contribution to his desired goal, which is to attempt to keep the front end of his Jeep a little more planted when climbing hills with his current cargo situation.
I don't have any first hand knowledge of how to properly install and set it up otherwise I would offer that information. So instead of being condescending maybe you could actually answer his questions about installing the Savvy Mid Arm.
..."the "satisfaction" I hear from Savvy mid arm users is, well, beyond what one would expect from a "short-er" arm kit. I am capable of installing this myself, so any hints at avoiding "re-dos" is very welcome.
Lets not focus on my current "kit", I get it. However, is this the best way to get into a mid arm lift?
(buying the mid arm upgrade incase you forgot)
Is it feasible to do one end at a time for less down time? Facts AND theories are requested."
I've wheeled 1000's of miles over terrain that will absolutely find any weakness you have in your armor including a fuel tank skid. I've wheeled that same terrain with 100's of different rigs that were not always well set up for that area. Not a single time have we ever had to deal with a punctured or leaking fuel tank. The only fuel issue ever was someone ran low on fuel, once. We siphoned some out of another rig, poured it in got back to camp just fine.
