Thanks to another ECRC member who did the design, I’m only a guinea pig.

He is prepping a kit for possible sale, depending on interest.

@EV Sportline - We will buy for our R1 rigs. We must be just as large an accessory market as the CT; was there more requests for a winch capable bumper for that chassis compared to...
I have seen trickles of users get varying ~35”x11.5” tires; but not much follow up as to if they’d do it again. Have asked a few via direct message to no response; assuming they love their tires so much they aren’t on the forums anymore.
So those who’ve gone plus size; when you’re off roading...
Weekend of Wiring - Complete
In addition to the 12V in the frunk I installed the backlog of lights I’ve had sitting around - light bar, ditch lights, fog lights, camp lights on rock rack. SolderSeal connections made wiring a bit more straightforward but still took a long time to route...
In and out in 45 minutes at @Discount Tire, full rotation and balance. Guys put it in tire change mode used pucks when about a smoothly as you can expect.
I also brought them a dozen donuts; it’s a super simple and cheap thing I do earns me a lot of good service usually ?
Back from service - with a new DC/DC converter. Symptoms were very similar to @freshpow’s (without the whole horn thing, my replacement horn was installed last November).
I can’t for the life of me find the original thread - I am sure it was on this forum - but I have the thank the creator of the shared STL (that is now on printables). These are amazing - and I love printing with 2020’s tech parts that were popular in the 1970’s.
Ordered the newly released Prinsu Pro rack for my R1S… my yellow powder coated grab handles have shipped, but still waiting on the rack.

Nothing of substance… just whining.
Decided to go with a full RoofRack - bars were mounted at delivery have lived in garage since. Both keys included as shown.
Located in North Seattle, but will be in Portland later next week.
**Willing to split - if there are two interested parties in a single.
I just want to bring up - light weight wheel sets (wheels and tires) will not positively impact highway range in the way many of you expect when you drool over the most lightweight tires and wheels out there.
City driving is a whole different ball of wax - but few care about efficiency near...
Thanks @Discount Tire for your shop up in Lynnwood the team up there today, Chris and crew who did my rotation and balance were courteous and careful.
5400 miles was time to get a rotation done on my Scorps. Even cleaned up the mating surface between my rotors and wheels. Was in and out in...
Pulled it in my parking garage at work today and decided to put it in off-road all-terrain highest. Can’t let my fellow EV drivers know how tall my Rivian will be when I’m charging. Sometimes I’m in sport lowest. And to that point, it would be funny/nice if the app would show your wheel...
Tried to upload the Garmin Dashcam video here - keeps failing so excuse the Imgur link.
Puddle Crossing
This was the way back, the first time through was much calmer.
Compared to our on-board drive cam -
Is there a way to view current trip status (not just the 15 min efficiency map)?
What I’m curious about is there is in addition to Trip A and Trip B we could have “Current trip” and “Lifetime trip”
I searched and came up short - I drive for work a lot and use trip A and B a lot to track...
