Lessons I learned from installing Savvy rocker guards and sliders

[notnsuv]

Perfect timing! My Savvy rails should be her Wednesday or Thursday! Fantastic info. I already ordered and received the longer nutserts, spot weld cutters and a nutsert tool!

Did you get it done successfully?

Bumping the thread since I'll likely start on my Savvy sliders Monday. Recruited a second pair of eyes and hands..

I am wanting to go this route for sliders. Thank you for the write up

Progress. Day 1.

Reviving this to see if anybody knows the length of the supplied nutserts from savvy. Picked up second hand armor so I don't have the original rivet nuts. McMaster Carr shows 5/16 - 18 027"-.150", which I believe is the shorter version compared to the longer ones recommended for installing the steel portion... Anybody know?

Yes, if I'm reading correctly those are the extended length nutserts recommended to make the steel portion easier to take on and off. I'm asking for the stock length nutserts for the aluminum portion to be mounted to the body.

And I thought it was you who couldn't read.

Those are the correct grip range for the sheet metal.

Anything i can try for fixing this gap under the Jeep logo? Can’t get any clamps to reach and jacking up from various points hasn’t helped

It will or should be fine after the nutserts are installed.

Welcome to the forum! The Blair Rotabroach has been a very useful tool to have available long after I installed my sliders.
