Measure Once, Cut Twice: A Story of Excitement and Impatience

[taylormade73]

Played around with the SL on the stiffest setting on the street today.

I was drifting around corners (edit: once or twice). Not sure I’ll keep it here, as I don’t know how it’ll perform off-road, but it sure was fun. I can only imagine how it’ll feel once I outboard in the rear.

I'm glad you're liking it and that it's working well for you. Keep the dirty side down...

Inside latch handle on driver’s side half door stopped working a while ago. Finally got tired of having to reach out to let myself out. Knew it was a broken plastic clip, and unsure if you can even get them anymore. So, I used a push nut retainer. Not as easy to remove as the clip, but it holds the fucker in place.

Anyone else have their Stahlbus weep through the ball valve?

I haven't had weeping but my Stahlbus drains as slow as molasses in winter. That in combination with the tight confines of the Savvy skid make me rate it a "meh" as far as usefulness is concerned.

Takes these to get the fitting up in there and turn it.

So your one of the guys that saved me $3k. I went on the sight and saw the mid arm was back ordered again. I was going to call them this week to see if I could pick one up COD.

Nice! I had them same exact packages show up on my porch on Monday also! Unfortunately I had enough time to throw them in the garage then I had to catch a plane. Wasn’t even able to open a box, so while I’m away I’ll just geek out at yours!!!

Lucky! I have the arms and joints, but FedEx has been playing with the trusses and brackets since Friday.

I just received my Savvy UA and it looks like it took a trip through JV. After paying $150 for shipping all the skid stuff came in one box, with zero packing material. The crossmember and other steel parts beat the crap out of the aluminum skid during the trip East!

Yeah....I'm not paying 150 dollars for a pile of steel parts to be shipped across the country. I'll source material locally and make my own.

JF2018 is an 8% discount I believe, which has historically offset any shipping charges for me from Savvy.

Yeah, It still irritates me, even with the discount. Plus, I like making stuff!
