Have had two free tire rotations at DT North Chesterfield VA. Excellent service. The team looks like an F1 pit crew. Beautiful coordination and technique. Doesn't get any better.

Maybe the hired the team from Apple responsible for power and accessory connector choice.

Thanks for the kind words James. Glad the tool has saved you some grief. I've actually given a couple to the techs at the Richmond VA Service Center. They just grin when they see it work.

Glad they did what you wanted. I haven't added these to my little webshop yet but if anyone needs/wants a set DM me. Also, if someone wants the .stl files DM me. I'll post them on printables next week along with a list of the necessary hardware. Meanwhile, here's how the 'extensions' go together.

Sure. I think I'll probably put this 'product' on my little webshop (raylepper.com) where I offer free file downloads and sell the little Rivian things I've designed. Meanwhile, DM me and I'll fix you up with a price and a venmo or paypal address to use.

I turned the pin on my little lathe. I think a plastic pin would break easily. The pin is 14mm dia and that size rod (in aluminum) is available from Amazon, McMaster and others. These parts were printed in PETG but I would print the final version in something like NylonX.

So it was a bit more involved but I think this is a nice solution. It requires a new metal pin to engage the cargo tie down. It probably ought to be steel but I did this quick one in aluminum. It'll work fine—it'll just wear over time. The 'extension' is 2" but it could be longer. I'd probably...

OK. I'll go with 2" lift. I'll be back with some pics. Ray

I got the cargo divider. The existing steel pin is not removable (despite removing the screws it seems to be held in place with an internal feature) But, I have a plan to make a 'lifting block.'How much higher do you want your cargo divider (in inches or mm, please)?

I never thought I'd get so many replies that make such scents.

I don't use the windshield washer much (garage kept, frequent hand wash) but the other day I did. Going about 35 mph, the spray barely came up only 3-5 inches on the windshield—like it was aimed too low. Then the smell from the fluid was quite noticeable in the cabin. The smell persisted for...

The stock cargo holddown has a spring loaded catch that engages with the pin. Without that function inserting another pin in the top of one my existing ones won't work. The cargo divider will just lift right out. I think a better answer is to fabricate a longer version of the pin on the cargo...

This 'divider' has been available as a Mopar item for several years. The pins on the ends of the vertical pieces plug into the hole in the top of the hold downs that slide on the tracks in the R1S cargo area. It will kind of work to hold say a suitcase or a box from sliding around but honestly...

Didn't we use to call that RTFM?
