For what it's worth I ordered the BL on back-order on the 27th of last month and it just shipped out this past Friday the 20th.
Wasn't expecting it to come in before the jeep gets dropped off next week for the other work going into the 35s, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

Good to hear you got them. @Irun please tell me you have yours in hand by now?

A $170 BL and you have to pay $25 shipping? I hope it comes with stickers, hat, shirt, and it's color matched to your Jeep. :unsure:
Ya. I haven’t had the best judgment building my jeep. Just sticking with what I hear and think is best. It’s been expensive and laborious ar best. Is what it is. Lol

Spoiler alert: it doesn't... Except it's color matched if your jeep is black.

I bought mine a little more than a year ago and it was only $133.

This is the first time in my life that inflation has been noticeable in the short term. It's always been a very slow creep that I didn't really think about except "I remember when this cost x, 15 years ago".

Our ancestors would have been doing French Revolution $#!+ over what our government has done to our livelihoods in the past two years.
 
I just installed mine yesterday. Hope all your body mount bolts come out ok! Still have to do the MML and hoping all the bolts come out ok

A large flat rate Priority Mail box is approaching 25 bucks now. You should check out shipping prices.

A small sample and you can see the box size I used with a 10 lb. weight from SoCal to Virginia.

I'm willing to wait on good products. However, what bothered me is the inconsistencies in shipping to customers. One would think that if someone placed an order on 1/05/22, which I did, I'd get mine before others who ordered months after me. That was not the case. I did finally receive both the BL and steering skid that was ordered then. Thankfully, all the parts are there and they are damage free. At least there is that!

FWIW, I mentioned this before, the Savvy BL design is the best out there. It is simple, elegant, and functional. 🇺🇸
 
Nothing wrong with good products/just making Savvy overpriced stuff as God, stupid. Savvy crap isn't any better than other Savvy "CHINA" stuff.
And yet again, another great opportunity for you. If it is so overpriced, then you can hop into the market with an exact copy, sell it for much less and make a killing. There are a few things wrong with your assessment though.
1- you obviously have never priced material nor watched the price of aluminum in the last few years.
2- you have no idea where fasteners are made nor any idea how to procure them cost effectively and ensure they are US made.
3- I know of only 1 part that is made in China that they use and that may be Taiwan.
4- you only consider it overpriced because you believe that all junk you use works the same as all other junk.

Indeed, the prices have gotten stupid. I purchased a Warn 9.5 XP a little over a year ago for under $1K. Warn M8000 could be had for a little over $500. Now the XP is north of $1800 and the M8000 around $800 - $900. It has just gotten ridiculous and now is impacting my buying decisions. :(

Not a defense but on rare occasions we have something on backorder. We don't let folks buy it because it is damned near impossible to keep track of that stuff and do FIFO.

I understand and can even accept that. The rest of the story is that over a month ago I finally got hold of Savvy. Gerald apologized and assured me he would send one out right away. They didn't send it and several more emails went unanswered. Then, almost 5 weeks after that it shows up. As stated, and you know this because you had a hand in many of their TJ/LJ products, their stuff is worth waiting for.

Although I may vent, I'm not willing to compromise on American made products that deliver what is expected, i.e. form, function, quality, and even value for the money spent! 🇺🇸

Gerald has the attention span and memory skills of a gnat. Ask him the next time you chat with him.
 
I have been in need of a belly up skid. My stock skid is not the same shape it once was. I was hoping to get the Savvy belly skid but it seems it might a while before they are in stock. I was also going to order some arms and GTS from Savvy but these posts have me worried about it.

I checked my invoice for my savvy body lift in 2020 and it was only $157 shipped to my door. $133 plus $23.59 in shipping from 4lowparts.

Do you think Savvy may be on their way to halting TJ production with all these price swings and material availability issues?

Genright skid really isn't much more now. Is that the next best thing? I just know as soon as I order something Savvy will have some in stock again.
