Fair points. I guess I’ll just patiently wait till my order (#2008) is up, which I imagine isn’t much longer now.
While we are on the topic of jacking points, has anyone tried to use a hi-lift type Jack in conjunction with the sliders?
So at this point there are ~25 Sliders in the wild?
I have not seen any of them show up on YouTube to be reviewed?
Did they not go out to any of the “popular” people on there?
This looks amazing!!
So, If I were to copy this setup on my R1T, I would likely need to buy 5 wheels, right? As the OEM spare 20" is a different outside diameter, so at that point it would be useless as a spare?
Although with the quad motors, nothing is physically connected like "normal" AWD...
People who have these, how do you use it on the rear? Even with an ARB base like this, which adds 1.4" the rear wheel is barely off the ground?
I had planned to go to 35's, but I guess I'd need to rethink my off road jack solution in that case.
I do have the spare tire, so I wonder if the OEM...
Holy sheet!
This started in February and is still ongoing? I feel like the aftermarket businesses have been instructed by Rivian to keep us waiting and tell us that we are all to receive whatever it is that we are ordering "s00n"
That said, FOMO is king... sign me up for 4 gallon
Ohhhh, so we may see some sliders in the wild soon!
Talking to a few people with different vins (9k, 10k and 15k) it seems like Rivian did some revising on the mounting points, as demonstrated by the fact that electruck4x4 had to redesign their sliders to accommodate.
Is your design of the...
For what its worth, my DCE brackets also wobble.
I had ditch lights on my Grand Cherokee and they were rock solid and the design was very similar, so maybe the hood/ hinges on the Rivian are not as stout as on other vehicles?
This is interesting, especially the temporary bonding jumper part.
When I replaced my 12v with Ohmmu batteries, I replaced them one at a time, passenger side first and after a hard reset, all was well.
So not sure why the (mobile) service people have a more elaborate way?
Shipping was $21 to Seattle, but if you happen to live close to one of their shops, you can avoid that. But even with the shipping, it was less than $30 for 8 of the pieces.
They were out of stock there. But now that I know they are called "Slide Plates" I was able to search for them.
I found these in the process and they are a lot cheaper:

So currently my iKamper Skycamp Mini 3 is installed with the v2 clamps, which have an integrated part that goes in the tent's U-Channel.
In the WEW mounts installation video, I see him placing an aluminum piece on the bolt, is that included with the brackets (can't imagine, as that seems RTT...
that looks like an interesting setup!
the Powerswitch has inputs for 2 triggers, and ways to program them, but I have not used that option just yet, so I’ll be of little help in that department.
Ha! I had that same thought, as I also had Ditch lights on my Grand Cherokee and they did not move at all.
I actually called DCE yesterday and they said they "had not noticed that, and it was normal for them to move a little". I can't imagine driving at a decent pace on a forest road with them...
I was also considering the trigger, but I ended up spending a little more and buying a Garmin Powerswitch. This allows me to use my phone as the switch, so I don't have to keep track of a keyfob.
That said, the keyfob route is a lot cheaper, especially if you are not planning on other 12v...
I'm in Seattle and David from S00nish and I have been talking about it. I have a temp fix for it, but she ain't purdy.
Basically, per David's idea, I stuffed 3 furniture pads (the ones you put under seat or table legs) between the hood ridge and the bracket. This stopped 90% of the vibrations...
@electricRaptor @WattTruckMatt
So I have the DCE brackets with some diode dynamics SS3 Max's and I notice that the lights vibrate a lot, even when driving on surface streets/ the freeway. I am wondering if you have the same experience and if so, what have you done to mitigate this?
These look amazing!
So, I am new to beadlocks, but if I took these rims to, say, discount tire, would they:
a) know what to do with them
b) charge me a lot more for tire installs?
Or is this more of a specialized type of thing that I'd need to go to a tire shop that specializes in off road...
