Northeast Rivian Club – NERC Spring 2025 Off-Roading event

[R1Thor]

I think a great time was had by all.

I should have removed the running boards. They got borked pretty decently. The EVBase ones I have are a terrible design if you're going to be off-roading. They're poor design and poor quality. Several others with boards didn't have any issue at all, or might have had some slight bending that was easily solved.

I'll either take them off for the next trip (and I will be going again), or I'll have a better quality setup by then.

From where I was standing, your running boards saved you from having some door PDR [I have a video of you playin in the mud. I'll add it to whatever shared albums are going around, but if it doesn't get out there, I'll DM you a Google Photos link]
That said, yeah, definitely not as robust as some dedicated sliders.

To be completely honest: that's the most aggressive we've gone out the entire time I've been doing this. I think Kyle/Off-road consulting figured out we're (typically) an adventurous bunch and our trucks are ridiculously capable. So, they took the kid gloves off this weekend. I'm personally glad for it (though my wheels have some new battle scars)!

Glad you had fun and hope your kiddos enjoyed themselves as well!

Hope to see you out there again, good sir! Great meeting you!

Interesting to hear that's the hardest you've gone as a group. Makes me feel a little better. I'm VERY surprised by how well the trucks did. Even the guys on street tires were making it through stuff that I'm not certain I would've tried without a group of others around me.

I do agree the boards probably saved the door from a light tap. I'm working on getting a set of sliders for the next event . I probably sent that one particular part a little heavy. It was right after I talked with Kyle and he said "Don't worry, we'll get you out, we brought straps". So at that point I was a little "give 'er hell" minded

Pleasure to meet you ( as well as everyone else), it was good to do a "car guy event" again. I hadn't done one of those in quite some time. Off-roading was new and different for me, and I'll definitely be back. Going to be watching the calendar for the fall event for certain.

I have contributed to that pretty much all I have (except a few dedicated family photos). Feel free to remove anything you don't want in there for whatever reason

Thank you sir.

I'll leave it all, that's the community bucket as far as I'm concerned.
