I don't have instructions but I have a few pics from my original Savvy slider installation on my previous TJ. I can't speak for Savvy but I imagine the extra cost of the SS version of the slider was the reason it was dropped. I've had the standard steel version on both of my TJs and it does fine. A few coats of Rustoleum satin black over a coat of self-etching primer is all that's needed to protect the steel slider.
Thanks Jerry. Would a nutsert tool make life easier?
That’s my hands down favorite design for function. Wish you still had the original Geezer.
Maybe but I didn't use anything special like that to set the nutserts included in Savvy's kit. I almost want to think Savvy included some kind of small simple setup like a bolt, washers, & a couple nuts to set the nutsert which made setting the nutserts a painless operation. @mrblaine can provide more details, it has been a while since I did mine. Just pushing in on the nutsert while you squeeze it with a bolt to set it in place is the basic idea of the setting process.
I have at least 5 different lever handle nutsert setting tools and one hydraulic one if that says anything.
I did? I don't remember that.
If I did at least it only would have been the 3/8" lol.
A simple trick that most overlook somehow. Clamp the rocker or corner in place at its final home. Most have 3/8" holes in them for clearance around a 5/16" bolt. Take a good 3/8" drill bit and drill motor and drill through every hole that gets a fastener. Don't mark and remove and try to center punch and drill, just drill through the holes. That will let you drill out the ones that take a nutsert and the larger bit will self center on the 3/8" hole you drilled and give you enough leeway on the ones that don't need a nutsert. Keeps all the nutserts centered on the mounting holes.
Had you not recommended it I would not of tried it. I would have been concerned that the drill bit would eat at a side of the aluminum hole.
Not sure what you are asking.
On savvy’s engine/trans skid, is it compatible with all motor mounts? How would I know what it’s compatible with and what the previous owner installed?
Works best with a 1" motor mount lift. Not sure how to identify what you have. Can you see the motor mounts well enough to get a picture of them and post it up?
Do you have a link? I tried to google them and got a welding shop that makes fire escapes and hand rails...
