Rivian R1T R1S Apex Compact Air Hose Reel System in my R1T CRS


@k3g was a huge help in his project. In fact, this was his idea. I just edited his files a bit for my own needs after some testing...

Anyway, the idea was to mount an Apex Compact Reel System in the bed of the R1T. The result is a compressor that's much quicker to put into use... and much, much quicker to put away when I'm done.



Dope, right?

Yeah, that was my design. Was not meant to be put out for public use....
This was not cool

When you guys are done fighting over the patent, please let me know so I can buy one or pay for the instructions and part list. Thanks!
No fighting, it was just an unexpected turn of events.

I'd also like to buy/make one. @LivingInKaos, is there any chance you'd sell the bracket/metal gearguard inserts? I've found the reel, so I'm sure I could do all the work myself, but I'd happily pay for the files and/or parts to save me the time/effort of recreating this for myself.

FYI to anyone wanting this setup, the reel is a bit more pricey than I expected (I'm seeing $295).

We are reaching out to APEX again to see if s00nish can be a dealer. They declined in a previous request. My hesitation in providing the set up is that it would promote additional sales they might not get otherwise and I don't feel kindly in being someone else's marketing campaign .... Rivian has gotten enough of that over the past 2-1/2 years :)

I’d be interested in buying something that goes into the gear guard cable slots also.

Love it. When/if an easy way to purchase it is offered, I am in.
