Really are u serious? That bumper is nasty . I love the work put into that bumper looks amazing supose I will have to place some forsale ads on mine in the future to become a bit more savvy!
First installation of a production Savvy front bumper 19.8 lbs as pictured. That's almost a pound lighter than stock!
Cool thing: The winch deck has two positions. One for stock sway bar as shown and one further back (to protect the fairlead) when used with a Currie Antirock or like product.

I believe mine is in the mail and should be here sometime next week? I gope to have my bumper on christmas night or the day after. I'll post up when it happens. Thanks again to the guys at Savvy for being extremely helpful and great to do business with. :cheers2:
You never know what's gonna show up in my driveway, do ya? That rig belongs to one of the owners of Crawl magazine and we're building some steering for it.
Wait a minute, I was all bummed out that the bumper wouldn't work for me because of how the Warn 8274 mounts with the feet forward. The plate mounts in all the stock holes so, is there any reason why I couldn't just mount the Warn plate on top of the bumper?
You could, but I suspect you'd have to remove the down turned flange across the back and then bolt it to the bumper across the back to to achieve the same resistance to deflection.
I was curious how the backside looked after seeing pics of the recovery tabs. I guess the it's all about the way the load is applied? I thought there may be some kind of backing plate.
Whether people agree on the benefits of running aluminum or not, these products have top notch craftsmanship. They are also listed at an unbelievably low price for what you are getting. I may just be ordering a set of blank corners for my build. Hell, I'll at least save on shipping cost
The bumper and fairlead mount form a winch deck when bolted together. I designed it to be a unitized structure and you have to run the fairlead mount if you run a normal foot down winch.
They are available on our website www.savvyoffroad.com and the winch plate, recovery points and light tabs are included in the special we have going on now.
And I'll let you know the weight difference between this and my current stock bumper and Warn mounting plate.
I'm also not painting/coating the bumper, so I'll post up in a few years and show people that the winter road treatments won't do much to the appearance (as it hasn't on the aluminum gas tank skid I've already had for 3 years).
Do you daily drive it? If so, how many miles per year? How much of this is during the winter? Are you truly driving nearly every day in the snow belt of Colorado where they use salt, MgCl, etc? Please post pics of the rest of your frame for reference. Thanks.
I really don't want to paint the Savvy sliders and tank skid if I could get away with it - they are works of art. But, I don't want to end up with dust after a few years.
Either will work fine. Best if you have a Antirock or like product so the winch mount/deck can slide farther back and the fairlead is flush with the front of the bumper.

That's a tough one. If I make the wings wider, the leverage against them becomes greater if you tag the outer corner and then I have to substantially beef them up. They are short to keep the strength up and the profile low.
If you're asking because you run in the woods, am I to assume you want them wider to smack into trees with?
