I hope the frunk is vented. The confined space is definitely a consideration. I have left my ARB locked up in my Jeep in the hot desert sun a couple of times. I am sure the fridge didn't like it but it worked very well. Kept everything where I had it set at just above freezing. My 100W...
I have had running boards on my trucks for 13+ years. My Ram has Amp retractable steps and the jeep is a slider. I have never had anyone hit their shins or even once complain about them. In fact, they are one of the items I get the most compliments about. My Amp steps tuck up out of the way...
I totally agree. Look at the price of the new JL and JTs. By the time you get out the door, you are near 55K for the Rubicon model. Once you add in suspension mods and other items you are riding around on a big pile of cash. I know I have more than 10K tied up in my LJ mods. One of the...
The Tesla would have to change a lot from that concept to get me interested. Not even the price is enticing to me. The entry 39k price is good if you only want 2WD and a 0-60 time of 6.5 secs....and the self-driving option is another 7K. The faster AWD option is going to be up there near...
I really like the look of the larger wheels but I want the smallest diameter wheel that will fit the brakes. More rubber between me and the dirt/rocks/sand. Typically for offroad performance, you are best not going much larger than half the tire diameter for the wheel size.
Great to see them out there testing in the wild!
I do not like the rear end as much. Looks like the departure angle took a performance hit. Hoping it is just the picture angles.
Thanks. I saw that fridge. I am not sure about the brand. It could be an Engle. Hopefully, my 63qt is not too tall. The size is H 16.9" x W 17.7" x D 33.3 but it sure looks bigger than that in person o_O
At 33 inches maybe it is the length I should be worried about.
Good looking renderings. When I first saw the Rivian design drawings for the patent, I didn't think it would apply to the R1T. I assumed it was on the drawing board for a more commercial truck they would be releasing on a bit larger platform.
Has anybody seen measurements for the frunk and gear tunnel? I am curious if my ARB fridge will fit in the frunk. It looks wide enough but I am not sure about the depth. I am also curious about the width at the top and bottom of the trapezoid shape of the gear tunnel. Height would be very...
I am hoping for a high-quality sound system. I haven't heard many factory systems that didn't need improvement. Production vehicles always seem to use cheaper versions of speakers even if they have a name brand on them. I always seem to drop a bunch of money into upgrading the sound system...
I have been hoping for info about a power source in the tunnel. I saw where it was lighted but I have seen no mention of power plugs. This leads me to believe there will be one available.
I would really like to see 12V output in the bed as well as the frunk and pass-through storage areas. I would prefer to run my ARB fridge from a 12V supply. It would be nice to charge other items stored in the storage areas too.
Ford is just one one of many investors. I have been hearing about this battery type for a while now. I hope the tech comes to fruition soon. It would be a game changer.
