Could be a leak in your cross-linked hydraulic dampers (shock absorbers). This happened to me after some 4WD rock crawling. Got a dashboard message to have my suspension checked and had clunking noise in Off-Road mode over any bump and a lot of sway in All-Purpose mode. Finally got it in the...

Corral Hollow OHV trail, Bear Valley CA. 2025 R1S Dual Max Performance

My first off-road test of my 2025 R1S Dual Max All-Terrain was Breakneck Pass near FairPlay CO. Despite the name, its pretty tame with no rock crawling. A couple steep sections with loose dirt was the only challenge. There is a variety of terrain with some great views and some mining buildings...

I love the bumper camera view. I didn’t think to turn it on, but it auto captures with any “trama” so I found that clip on the bumpy ridgetop.

My R1S is the All-Terrain package with skid plates and All-Terrain tires and I added the heavy duty rock sliders.

Took our 2025 R1S Dual Max on its first off road test today over Breakneck Pass near Fairplay CO. Aired down my off-road tires to 25 psi. Had my new rock sliders installed. It handled the 20% pitch and 15% roll with no problems at 11,000’.

My R1S has a Nov/Dec 2024 build date. My Gen 2 R1S has a Nov/Dec 2024 build date delivered 12/17/24

You do NOT reinstall the oem plastic underbody and they are not needed. I am keeping mine since it is a lease in case I turn it in instead of buying out the lease My Gen 2 R1S has all-terrain tires and the all-terrain underbody package, and the Megawatt Rock Sliders fit just fine. I had to...

My flange hole patterns look different than yours for my Gen 2 R1S as shown in the instruction photo (of non-powder coated prototype).

Yes, these are Gen2 version which started shipping in December.

@electruck4x4 released their Gen2 Megawatt rockslider/step in December. After reseaching Rivian rocksliders this one seemed to be the sturdiest of those available. It is also the only one with kickout flares at the front and rear for extra protection. (I feel like they are beefy enough to...

A2ZEVSHOP.COM is planning to release a 5’ NACS DC extension cable for about $285 this summer. State of Charge just posted a review video on the product. That is an easy solution for those feeling guilty for taking up two stalls or handicap spots.

If you want a good deal on an EV commuter car, get the Ioniq 5. If you want a stupid grin on your face evey time you get in the car, get the Rivian. Its a smartphone on wheels, an off-road beast, and a bat out of hell fast, with a 400 mile range. At my age, with 8 grandkids, off-road...

I plan to install the Electruck Megawatt Rocksliders on my 2025 R1S. They cover up the jack pucks, but claim to provide better jack point. Anyone have experience with jacking with the Megawatts?
