    LS Swap with Savvy Mid-Arm

    I need advice on which drivers side manifold/ header to run. I’m doing an L92 swap and I have a savvy mid arm suspension. If I didn’t have the mid arm kit it would be easy but my biggest hurdle is getting the exhaust from the drivers side ran. Everything I’ve tried hits the upper control arm…...

    Thank you TJFest 2021

    I think that was my idea... I like talking shop but I get nervous Jeeping with people who might be slow, I have four kids that might start complaining. Just for reference we've (my family) done PS GS GBR in 4.5 hours flat. One year we did Kane Creek in about 3 hours, so I signed up with the Jeep...

    Here ya go: I didn’t really clean up the old control arm mounts too much because I was getting sick of lying on my back...

    Sure, I drove it to work today so I will take some when I get home... I drilled and tapped the frame, it was really easy. I swapped the bushings because, like Steve(Red) told me the "can't make it" will happen, the JJs don't self center.

    I looked through your build, that's a lot of work, good for you. It's a bummer about the leg and purple heart. I put the Savvy Mid Arm on last March. It works pretty good with the AiRock but I did end up swapping out the upper JJs for the Metal Cloak Duraflex....

    It's Chris's fault

    I’ve always figured that the angry grill was a sure way to spot a mall crawler without looking for scratched bumpers... that shark grill is pretty amazing... does it make it faster?

    I was thinking I would cut the frame above the axle and put the can there then fab up some sore of pad on the axle side. However because I have the banks turbo I’m going to have to move the cans back or angle them. I’ll probably start working on it again in the winter when it’s cool and some of...

    It’s actually a stretched 93” to 108” I added 15” back in 2015. The suspension is from Off Road Only but this year I’ve added my own modifications with 14” travel shocks and I’m working towards custom bump stops for on road and high speed off road driving I’ve put the rear in the same location...
