Savvy Shipping

Alatex:

Welcome to the forum! I'm a new LJ owner myself. I bought mine last June and immediately found this awesome forum. Looking at your profile, I'd say you're a generation younger than most (including me) on this forum, from what I've observed. Here's my unsolicited advice from an old (age-wise), new (forum-wise) forum member to a young, new forum member:
  1. This forum is an extremely helpful forum, full of very knowledgeable TJ owners, some of whom have owned Jeeps for longer than you've been on this great rock of ours.
  2. Due to the average age on this forum, you've got to have thick skin to participate or the "noise will kill the signal" for you. Many of us grew up with parents whose reaction to a bicycle crash [helmetless, by the way] was more along the lines of "maybe you need to learn how to not crash next time," rather than "911, my child is dying - please send a helicopter." As such, you'll get blunt, unfiltered responses. Don't take it personally - it's the tough-love approach to life.
  3. As I said above, there are very few questions that haven't already been asked. Search the forum a bit first for an answer. I have better luck searching using Google than the forum's search function. Hot tip (in case your Google-fu is weak): for the indirect question asked in your initial post above, I would have entered the following syntax on Google: site:wranglertjforum.com Savvy lead time Click on it to see the results, and you'll see that a quick search yields a lot of people have asked similar questions over the years (especially since Flu-vid popped up a couple years ago.)
  4. As I said, "Welcome to the forum!" I hope you glean as much knowledge from it that I have, and I hope building your TJ brings you the joy building mine has me!
Regards,
sab

well said sab.

this should be a splash screen when you first create an account.. then you gotta accept the 'don't be a snowflake' terms and conditions.

for number 3, it would be interesting to have a list of hot-button topic words (i.e. geometry) to give to the new joiners so they can see what number 2 is all about.

I joined to support the forum and the info it provides. I’ll stay for the banter lol. Appreciate the welcome!
 
There's too many great options avail to wait on anything from any company without some type of communication. Im not a young kid, but to me, that's some BS in todays day. Just my two farts 😆
 
I ordered a full set of arms last June. It took about a week before I received a confirmation shipped e-mail.

I legitimately laughed out loud at this one. Pretty damn spot on.

I had no problems with E mail as Gerald answered them within a day or two. The problem was getting information to when my order would ship. When I called the number on the website I got a message of Gerald’s E mail. He responded fairly quickly

Ya I called a couple times and no answer so sent email. I got the machined finish tail lights because I thought they were in stock. If I have to wait I'll wait for black ones or get genright.
 
I ordered the shifter cable, got it in about a week.
X2 - my cable shifter shipped and delivered in about 1 week, but I’ve seen nothing but terrible reviews regarding their shipping/customer service on the forum.

I have the Core 4x4 T1 adjustable front upper/lower on mine, and they seem to be nice. They shipped quickly too…. You probably already know this - but - since you bought Savvy, I assume you got dual adjustable arms. if you go with Core, make sure to buy their dual adjustable ones (I think it’s the T4). Dual adjustables will save you lots on time and headache when/if you need to adjust the lengths. I’ve adjusted mine 3 different times dialing them in, and each time I’ve kicked myself for not getting the dual adjustable ones.

EDIT: I just realized Core doesn’t have dual adjustable arms. Oops.

My buddy has these and I ran their track bars. I did buy Savvy arms for the double adjustable feature when on sale it was just a little more than Core. Core makes good stuff, color options if you are into that and they ship fast. I had an issue with a track bar, they sent the wrong one, told me to keep it and sent the correct one 2 day air.
almost everything on the core website is rockjock
 
In the tier 4 stuff yeah, except the arms themselves. Still weird they offer a double adjustable aluminum arm for the Ram but not the Jeeps.
So the tier 4 stuff is on par with Currie/Savvy?
 
UPDATE:

Just got an email saying my order shipped. For the record, I am not upset about the amount of time it took to ship per se, just believe a heads up when ordering would be appropriate. With EJS going on I expected delays, I just did not expect two weeks with no communication.
 
The Savvy gods have smiled upon you - consider yourself one of the chosen...

:D

Don’t worry I’ll make another post two weeks after I order the rest of the control arms and we can all do this again!

Two weeks is nothing. The only communication I've received in two months is an order completed email. It wasn't, I'm not going to cry over it, and it will eventually get fixed. Not directed at you, but many of us are sick of the "Savvy" whining. For those that don't want the best product, order something else, so we get bumped up. Just saying what others want to!

Probably better since they offer a “break it get a new one” warranty. They have good customer service too.

The Savvy arms are great, once they show up.
