Posting here in case anyone is also in the market and finds this helpful.
I’ve been going back and forth between a few options, but needed:
1) Enough space for 3 of us (two smaller people)
2) A place for Tall Dog to sleep nearby
3) An option for a 4th person without pitching a second tent
4)...
Costco has them for $345/tire right now, and since they’re the same nominal height as the 21” tires (which I’ll be swapping back and forth between depending on season and use), seemed like a reasonable idea.
Have to imagine they’ll be lighter, and potentially more efficient, than the 65s...
Wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I’ve called Service to have them pull the logs, mostly out of curiousity, but also in the event there’s a real bug to chase down.
Car sat in garage overnight, unlocked. Key fob is out of range. I go into the car this morning with my phone...
This caught my on PB this morning: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/first-look-thules-new-epos-bike-rack.html
The ad doesn’t show the tailgate open, but the fact that they used an R1T gives me the impression they’ve at least sorted out tailgate clearance...
Yay, Father’s Day - the day many of us set out to do small things and turn them into hours-long projects.
Like yesterday, when I went out to get the racks and board on the truck in preparation for this morning. Instead, I ended up detailing the truck and applying Klasse glaze. Then this...
It’s the little things, but I thought I’d share.
Planning on making the switch to full electric for car camping, and the last piece was to test our Smeg kettle. While it is rated at up to 2400W, it performed flawlessly and heated water to near boil for coffee in the standard time it would have...
Happy to make a drive anywhere in Northern California (within reason, I guess). Need 2 stock Pirelli AT tires. Low miles preferred. I’m in the bay area.
If you’ve got some takeoffs, hit me up!
Wondering if anyone has done a 60-series AT vs the 65-series? I see two potential benefits, as an owner of 21s:
1) Same radius = lessened need to reflash the truck
2) Potential efficiency gains by reducing the diameter over a 65-series (by an inch)
So I was just on Tirerack searching for KO2s, and came across this little nugget: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=All-Terrain+T%2FA+KO3&partnum=765SR0KO3&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes
They’re supposed to be OE for a new GM truck, but even BFG...
Just got back (again) from extended time away. I missed my truck.
Paddleboarding with my son in the morning …
Then helping my wife move her office to a new location in the early afternoon …
WTB 4x20” Brights in nearly any condition (scratches/etc not a problem as these will be powder coated - dented/etc negotiable).
Don’t need tires, so any condition on those are fine.
I’m in the SF Bay Area, happy to drive a reasonable distance to pick up because Road Trip. :)
I brought the truck in for the 3rd attempt to get the alignment straight. After a couple of hours, I got the dreaded “we need to keep the truck to diagnose what’s going on.” Apparently, the previous attempts (and subsequent failures) to align the truck are being caused by a potentially more...
If you happen to be like me, a granola-consuming Luddite who loathes civilization and is forced to interact with the regular world only when having his tech-forward vehicle serviced in an industrial are - a tip.
at south SF, walk to the end of Utah, hop on the footpath, and turn left. Walk...
Hi folks - I’ve finally committed to getting a rooftop tent, and wanted to see if what your favorites were.
The goal is to be very comfortable for 3 with the option for 4 ppl. Will definitely want the annex so there’s a place for the dog.
I’ve not yet been able to find anything in the 64”...
Anyone know the static load bearing rating for the Rivian cross-bars? I believe dynamic is rated at 250lb.
Tent is going to be about 175lbs, I’m another 190, wife is <redacted>, and son is around 80 (at the moment). I have to assume they designed the racks with that type of weight capacity...
This is fun.
When the music is set to radio, and is turned off, it will automatically turn on when I change gear selection from park to drive, drive to park, drive to reverse, reverse to park, or reverse to drive. I haven’t tried transitions to or from neutral yet but don’t care to.
Yes, you...
Anyone try out a hi-lo pro with a Kuat rack and confirm the tailgate will lower without hitting the rack (with it in the dropped position)?
If it doesn’t, I’ll likely just go for the Pivot.
And for fun, here’s the new toy (Levo Expert) on the rack on the back of the blue toy (R1T). I’m an...
Anyone have decent data on charge rates above 70% up to 100%? I haven’t been quick enough on the screen grabs (and there’s no way to get it from the truck, is there?) but it’s clear it drops off precipitously past 70%. Some of that is expected, but it does seem to dive <50kW once you get above...
The elusive electric land eel, here seen emerging from its protective lair, for its nightly granola feeding.
