  1. Center console disassembly? Anyone?

    The console lid assembly, as pictured, is how Rivian replaces it. I haven't had it apart further than shown to see if there is a good means of swapping just outer upholstery.
  2. Center console disassembly? Anyone?

    True. Don't be shy about moving the seat around.
  3. Center console disassembly? Anyone?

    I think you can get that off by popping out the upper-rear portion of the two main side panels (below the chrome trim belt) to access two screws per side (see pic with arrows). Then pull straight up to pop the clips. There might be something over the rear section but I'm not in my car to see that.
  4. Recommendation for correct/best shackle solution for R1S tow hooks..?

    We recovered over a dozen ditch-bound vehicles over the past couple winters. Soft shackles used both front and rear with no issues. A side benefit of soft shackles is they aren't heat-sucking iron for your hands when it's -10 F. We have soft shackles from Factor 55, Yankum and Vevor; all seem...
  5. **NEW** MPP "Triple-L" Ride Height Adjustment Kit For R1T/R1S - Lower/Lift/Level

    Where are you in NH? I'm in Central Vermont and installed my own last Spring.
  6. Where Are the OEM Replacement Parts (For Repairs)?

    Three from auction. Doing everything in-house except the finish bodywork and calibrating the sensors/cameras. Pretty sure I have an aux. air pump hose kit and may have a right front shock. Let me know when you confirm on your end.
  7. Where Are the OEM Replacement Parts (For Repairs)?

    He actually owned the house we now live in. (Robert Frost, that is.) We are less than a mile from his local summer cabin.
  8. Where Are the OEM Replacement Parts (For Repairs)?

    FWIW, I have parts in Central Vermont. If anyone needs parts for DIY, please reach out. Currently have our daily driver, one donor chassis and two coming together.
  9. Repurposing a spare headlight as desk lamp?

    Did you get any traction on this? I have a couple broken headlights and played around with the wiring a bit. The low beams and running lights are pretty straightforward but I haven't sorted the high beams or turn signals. Let me know what you know and maybe we can reverse engineer what we...

    Rivian Connecticut

    Are you looking for "beginner" with 22s and a high shine or "beginner" with 20s, rock sliders and a minimal chance of needing to dig out? I live on the former and know of some of the latter!? I use OnX Offroad with decent success in VT and noticed a handful of good looking opportunities in...

    New England Rivian Group

    I've had good experiences with mobile service in Vermont. We still haven't been to the service center in 18 months and 25k. *knock on wood*
  12. Scraping noise from front left wheel

    Something similar happens from time to us - perks of living on dirt roads. Usually backing up and hitting the brakes, going forward and hitting the brakes, lather rinse repeat a couple times will do the trick. What other folks said are also good options. If that doesn't work and you are able...
