  1. 20" Inch Toyo Open Country A/T III EV 275/65/20 116H tires review

    Starting to hunt for replacement tires for our 2023 R1S Quad. I've seen the .5" spec on Tirerack.com and repeated here, but Toyo lists the SL and LT as being the same width (11.0"). Has anyone actually compared the SL and LT in the flesh to confirm the width difference (if any)...
  2. Taking delivery on Sat, why can't i proceed with 'upcoming' tasks?

    You may have to sign the purchase agreement via the link they send to your email before you can do the financing upload part.
  3. R1 shop order = Buying Rejected Car?

    If the last three digits are 560, they told me it was damaged in transit and would need to be repaired (not sure what color or which CA SC you’re referring to).
  4. How to open speaker grille?

    I have no particular knowledge on this point, but would not be surprised if the grille was a part of the door panel - that's getting more and more common these days.
  5. Shipping time estimates from Normal?

    As an update on this, no delivery last Friday - vehicle was damaged in transit and they're looking for a different one for me since it will take a while to repair. No ETA yet, though.
  6. Shipping time estimates from Normal?

    In my case it was apparently a schedule issue. Now scheduled to pick up next Friday instead of the following Tuesday at the earliest.
  7. Shipping time estimates from Normal?

    And today offered delivery dates of 8/29 or later, so they tacked on another week with no reason. Not confidence-inspiring to push out two weeks in two days.
  8. Shipping time estimates from Normal?

    Seems to be some luck involved too. As of last Thursday mine was supposed to arrive this week (after 3 weeks) and now they’re saying next week (which would be 4).
  9. Running boards and rock rails, what are my current choices (R1S)?

    Not necessarily - I just sold my Bronco (R1S supposedly inbound this week) which had the Rock Slide Engineering sliders/steps that are supposed to function as true sliders. But they haven't made them for Rivians. I would think AMP Research may eventually do retractable steps for Rivians, but...
  10. R1S Spare tire hitch mount options?

    Given you have to swing the spare out to open the hatch anyway, it looks like you could cut 3"-4" off the tire carrier to bring it in tighter to the back of the vehicle. Great idea! I've been shocked by the price of hitch mounted carriers and swinging mounts generally - Wilco has a hitch swinger...
  11. Hardwire Midland MXT275 GMRS 2-Way Radio with rear 12V power tap (R1S)

    Looks good. Saw this in the radar hardwiring thread which may help if you wanted to go to the fuse box, although not clear to me whether the R1S and R1T boxes are the same. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/radar-detector-hard-wire-who-has-done-it.4253/page-11#post-363868
  12. Genoa Peak, Lake Tahoe on 21" roadies

    Nice. Did you go up the fire road way (from the North) or the skinny, rockier way (from the South)? Last time I was up there these guys were using the Northern route!
  13. Shipping time estimates from Normal?

    And 20 minutes later a text that it’s on its way and should be on site within the next three weeks!
