I will be cutting em. I’ll post up pictures in a bit of exactly where. A call over to savvy and it looks like the rest of my armor will be on friday. Hoping it gets here while I still have daylight so i can just pop it on.
I appreciate it! Helps when you are motivated!I'm amazed at how much you've got done in short order. Cudos brah!
For sure. I’m more than confident of its ability on protecting the aluminum. Its more the stainless steel than anything, salt and rain broke the Cr layer fairly early. Hopefully the sharkhide keeps it safe.They use that sharkhide stuff on Pontoon tubes, right? That is a much more harsh environment that you step sliders. Moisture is a killer...
cool JeepEasy day today!

I return shit all the time when it’s not perfect. Are they going to throw you some bills because it’s that far off? I’d be ticked if it were me. I know that stuff couldn’t have been cheap.Wow...I'd be really ticked about the misalignment in the clearance holes. You dropped some serious coin there...I get that each tub is going to be different, but that is where you design a relief all the way around, so that it doesn't detract from the whole install. They've still got some things to learn over there at Savvy about finishing...Good design can be ruined by execution so easily.

With this kind of company it doesn’t work that way sadly.I return shit all the time when it’s not perfect. Are they going to throw you some bills because it’s that far off? I’d be ticked if it were me. I know that stuff couldn’t have been cheap.
But the holes not lining up on a Jeep TJ specific product? Is that not one of the implied expectations when buying something for your TJ?We jeepers have high expectations.

I wouldn't be happy either.
I agree, and I really appreciate that! She is almost 100% done externally, I'm quite happy with the finished product.I am with Starrs, shit like that really pisses me off especially when it is so expensive. You work hard for you money, and if you have to give it away you expect the people you give to are working hard too, or at least care. Doing some research I could see that Savvy was highly respected, but lately they are getting bad reviews. Especially about quality and over marketing. I really hope they come through with your valance. If they don't, maybe you can get it engraved locally that says Savvy Sux or something funny like that. It is the little shit that bothers me as you can tell from my posts. I have to say though despite the issues you are having your Jeep really looks good. It is like a whole new Jeep. Not that it didn't look good before but now it looks good on steroids. ,
I can't discredit the rub rails because the bend is taken care of by the bolts being snug, with the corner mount removed its up to me to make that one work. I'm happy with the end products, just concerned why certain mistakes were made. Again, hoping I can at least get the valance taken care of.Really surprised to say the least. I read great reviews from veteran members like @Jerry Bransford and @Chris on this forum when it comes to Savvy’s product line. Ive read plenty of post about their superior build quality and attention to detail but no real hires shots like I am seeing here where I can see actual product in detail. Any idea what is going on at Savvy? Seems like the latest photo evidence doesnt match up to the verbal praises I have seen here on this forum in the past. Rub rails not being straight or following the natural rear body curve, a majority of the holes not lining up, missing hardware, missing parts, missing mounting brackets, and so fourth. Seems very odd. Maybe its just a few bad batches that snuck through that @JamesAndTheSahara has recieved thus far.
