Looks awesome! Thanks for the photos of the install and for the feedback! I originally had just jumped the bumper instead of going down through the inside of the tailgate and out underneath like you did here. I moved mine in the end but I happen to have a slightly longer cable so didn’t notice the slightly shorter cable doesn’t make it all the way. I’ll consider packing some a couple feet longer in the future. I think your install still looks pretty clean even with the small jump. :)
Feel free to email me and I can see if I can get you a short 2foot extension if you want.
Thanks for the extension cable!

Finally added the extension cable you sent.
I was able to run the cable hidden under the bumper (no jump from the bumper) to the hitch leaving about 10 inches of extra cable tucked inside the wheel tube bracket.

What’s going on with your license plate light? Do you have a battery light attached over the the other Rig’d provided light?

your wire run around the bottom is super clean - very nice.

You’ve got keen eyes!
Yep, I jerry-rigged this LED light over the RiG’d one. Might end up running the RiG’D wire along the same route with the camera cable - one of these days 😩

We’ve got the plug for the license plate light connector available on the RiviMods site if you ever want to run it powered from the Rivian.

https://rivimods.com/products/rivian-r1s-license-light-plug-connector

@Polar, myself and a few other customers are running it that way. It’s clean and tidy :)

I was running the power from the hitch connector for a while but the lights tend to stay on at times you wouldn’t want and if the car is charging they didn’t power down either. Following Rivian’s license plate light logic is perfect though.
