Probably not nearly as much as you do, but I absolutely use mine as a truck (hardware store hauls), and to camp, and to off-road, and to tow, and to commute in all seasons and all weather. It is a jack of all trades, and it hasn't skipped a beat!

Combination of LDFSS (Gaussian distribution) manufacturing tolerances, luck, and quality control, is my guess. Not to mention, our trucks are Gen1. No amount of ALT is going to suss out all of the potential abuse these systems will see (and in fact, a lot of suspension-testing rigs are...

I'm not even sure it'd cost $1000. Even if we're talking top-of-the line custom sized Viton O-Rings and a valve swap, we're still under $300. The hard part, from what I can tell, looking at service instructions, is having the right tools and capabilities to handle the bleed and...

That's good to know. My only hesitation is that it seems (to me) that most of these don't fail catastrophically at first (and correct me if I'm wrong, but you seldom see them completely fail altogether). They start leaking over time. So, if I'm being overly-pedantic, let me know, but if I...

Did you verify that the dampers are covered? I spoke with a few people on Discord who bought some (XCare, I think) and never checked the fine print or verified. Dampers are considered wear items in their policies, so guess what isn't covered? :facepalm: I was really hoping Rivian would have...

You're probably right. However, I might suggest that given the absolute absurdity of the cost to replace these, there might be a market here. I've seen quotes from $1700/corner to over $14,000 for the entire vehicle (granted, we don't have the full scope, necessarily, so may also require...

Again, I'm not disagreeing, but I posited "I wonder why no one..." (I did include Rivian, but I wasn't being exclusive). Seems like the most difficult part of the refurb is going to be removing these from the vehicle (with specialized tools are required mostly to depressurize the hydraulics)...

I don't disagree with you. I'm thinking about the 'when not under warranty' part.

Looking at this assembly, it all seems pretty straightforward. I wonder why no one (Rivian) is offering a rebuild kit? Unless a seal had to be permanently destroyed to disassemble to this point. Seems like a lot of O-Rings to replace, but surely that's much more economical than replacing the...

This is my interested path forward. Imagine a perfectly good Tonneau going to waste on a Rivian that was totaled in a front end collision. Ideally, Strip the parts for the tonneau and transplant it into my own. The only real question is whether or not I'd need the powered tonneau software...

A lot of missing information. What tires? Were they aired down? Did the driver sweep front wheels side to side while in crawl mode to reverse out? Were there traction recovery boards used? Or did ol boy just YOLO it and keep the pedal to the floor until the truck was high centered on OEM...

275/60R20 is virtually a drop-in for the 275/55R21 size (diameter to diameter). That said, remember: you can 'replace' the tire in software (tire change) so that the computer accounts for it. Regarding maintaining efficiency, you need to spec another all-season tire that has similar weight and...

Some garage's require a 2-way handshake instead of simply adding a rolling code to your vehicle. Check your garage door opener manual. There's likely a 'learn' button or sequence you need to initiate with the LiftMaster simultaneously. It's annoying (and helps if you have a second hand to do...

Congrats!

This is what I'm thinking. The 3 wires *appear to be* 6 gauge THHN, which is rated for 60A. If that's accurate, then swap breaker, hardwire EVSE and charge at 48A. EZPZ :)

If you do, I'll see you there!

@bfilippo are you on Heylo? NERC, MARC, and NJRC pretty much encompasses all the goings on in this area. There's currently an overlanding trip scheduled for May https://www.heylo.com/invite/KAVyjPigGe For better or worse, I think Jazzy sort of relinquished his role informally--he's...

You're conflating two things, by insisting that M-M isn't a protectorate and that you apparently 'signed your rights away.' To be clear, Magnuson–Moss DOES, absolutely mean: An OEM cannot deny warranty coverage unless they can show the modification caused the failure. This is the key legal...

Someone needs to make weather guards (rain deflectors) for the side windows of the R1S. Why these only exist for the R1T is beyond me! (And my wife is unhappy about it) Come on Best EV Mod, get these in production and we'll be your first order ;) !!
