  1. DHD Tie Rod Sleeves Upgrade - Install Tips and Info

    Sorry just seeing this. BTW, I have the newer beefier tie rods but also off road in Colorado on some stuff I probably shouldn't. I purchased this kit (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9J4GRP3?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1). Not sure but I think I used the 16mm but easy to...
  2. Gen 2 tie rods stronger than Gen 1?

    Incorrect. See my post above.
  3. Gen 2 tie rods stronger than Gen 1?

    I just purchased an M6 bolt kit on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9J4GRP3?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3&th=1) and used one of those sizes that fit well. Don't remember which length worked off the top of my head. Let me know if you want the exact length and I can take one...
  4. Gen 2 tie rods stronger than Gen 1?

    I can confirm that the newer ones are actually beefier. The Broncobrace was designed for the older m14 tie rods and they won't quite fit (I had to get longer bolts) around my R1S 2023 build with the new ones.
  5. 20" Inch Toyo Open Country A/T III EV 275/65/20 116H tires review

    I'm 30K in on the LT version of this tire. Performance is the same but I've noticed they've become louder with time (not surprising). In addition, the ride is not quite as soft as when they had less mileage. Still happy, but for people that don't need the capability (ie off roading) the...
  6. Wassym Bensaid DECODER interview: AI Rivian Assistant, Apple CarPlay, VW Joint Venture

    So you don't have an EVPlay but yet you "know" that it's not as good as an integrated CP solution from a car company that has a history of not only refusing to integrate it but an inability to implement basic features like text messaging. LMFAO. Move along swamp, not buying your brand here...
  7. Wassym Bensaid DECODER interview: AI Rivian Assistant, Apple CarPlay, VW Joint Venture

    I have no problems with my EVPlay that you allude to. Happy to walk you through the basics of proper installation or you could also involve Alex. Sounds like you need to figure out how to properly install your device.
  8. Wassym Bensaid DECODER interview: AI Rivian Assistant, Apple CarPlay, VW Joint Venture

    Oh Jesus Christ, stop with the hyperbole. Rivian can't even implement a functional Apple Music client. "could", "possibly", "truly" are all bullshit completely unrealistic happy words in this context. I've had 3 cars with CP (including Volvo) and they all glitch out periodically. There is no...
  9. Wassym Bensaid DECODER interview: AI Rivian Assistant, Apple CarPlay, VW Joint Venture

    As someone who vehemently argued that Rivian needs to allow AA/CP, I now wish all these posts would just go away. If you want AA/CP, get an EVPlay. The EVPlay is probably a better implementation than Rivian would do anyway.
  10. Gen 1 R1 + Comma 4 The Ultimate Value Play.

    Mirror tap for RD here (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5JH9NCH?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1) I have the Janka Rivian specific slide mount so I can push it closer to the bottom of the Mobileye cover.
  11. Gen 1 R1 + Comma 4 The Ultimate Value Play.

    I have that setup but put my RD as high as possible to the right (passenger side) of the Mobileye cover. I then put the comma 4 as tight as possible to the bottom of the cover (using a Janska slide mount). Not near my car right now but can take a picture later if you want.
  12. EV Friendly Camper - A different approach

    Seems that if you're okay with the concept of ICE that this would be a better use case to get a Scout with Range Extender and use that to power the RV without ICE, which would be much cheaper and lighter.
  13. Successful EVPLAY install with GPS antenna, custom button & mic mount (full install video)

    There is a 2-3 second pause switching between the 2 systems. I don't find myself switching much if at all. I made some scripts in Home Assistant in widgets in CarPlay so I can increase or decrease temperature and control the seat heater/steering wheel heater while still in CarPlay.
