  1. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    Yes, that update version made it soft for me and then somewhere along the last few updates it got stiff and harsh. This is why I did the raise and lower exercise and a couple weeks in, smooth sailing still.
  2. Phantom Rattle fix finally solved, 6 panel culprit

    Thanks and that is satin/energetic yellow Avery satin finish and yes those are brake caliper covers that I custom powder coated with bright neon yellow/green (aka chartreuse) from Prismatic Powders. They slip right over the factory calipers. In order for them to clear the front you will need...
  3. Phantom Rattle fix finally solved, 6 panel culprit

    Okay, mine felt like that but the plastic on metal bottom was still giving me a sound. You could have some other things going on but foam padding is a good option still in my opinion. This R1T has had new: Sub Chassis(casted no welds) Half Shafts with washer and bolt upgrade Jounce Lines It...
  4. Phantom Rattle fix finally solved, 6 panel culprit

    Mine had the panels replaced in the last visit also due to them being loose and not clipped in all the way, but it still was doing it since it is plastic on plastic and plastic on metal. It was a little bit better after that, but if you tap on the bottom of yours does it make a vibration noise...
  5. Phantom Rattle fix finally solved, 6 panel culprit

    That is a Wakeshield shell, I just made custom decals for it.
  6. Phantom Rattle fix finally solved, 6 panel culprit

    I've been experiencing a persistent rattle noise when going over bumps, and after inspecting and replacing various components, I discovered the source of the issue. The noise wasn't caused by the half shafts, subframe, hub bolts, or washers; instead, it was due to three cosmetic panels covering...
  7. R1T topper shell by Wakeshield

    Thank you so much! Now that I’ve had time to live and use the Wakeshield, I’ve realized how much I was missing out on by simply having a plain old open bed or a restrictive manual cover. I no longer desire the factory power tonneau cover. Having this so handy makes my truck versatile for me...
  8. R1T topper shell by Wakeshield

    I recently received and installed the Wakeshield. It was so well-packed that I considered using the crate they made as furniture. Wow! Thanks to their attention to detail, the product arrived safely from Estes Trucking and looks incredible. The build quality is exceptional, and the fit is...
  9. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    I just drove that way for a minute, and I don’t believe time is a factor. What matters is that the suspension change allows the vehicle to reach its highest and lowest positions, thereby extending its maximum range in both directions. Should we call this the suspension "soft reset"? ;)
  10. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    I know the R1S has a completely new suspension set up from the ground up based upon what the service center told me, but I have not driven one yet to compare that 2nd gen vs 1st gen
  11. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    Now another week in or so and smooth sailing in both R1S and R1T after the recalibration using the high/low settings. That soft glide is welcomed back!
  12. R1T topper shell by Wakeshield

    I’ll be vinyl wrapping my truck to match my truck’s vinyl wrap, so I’ll be sure to post before-and-after photos here so others can see the transformation. I was so impressed with the design, look, and ingenuity of their product, along with how quickly they responded, that I decided to order...
  13. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    Thanks for testing and do you have the hard to deal with harshness issue mentioned also?
  14. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    Depending on how deep in the weeds we want to get because we love these vehicles, some of us would be great "advisors" for sure.
  15. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    That's positive news, possibly due to adjustments you made while experimenting with the height. It got exercised and recalibrated likely.
  16. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    For me, I had a clunking and ticking noise was due to a combination of half shafts and updated parts. Despite replacing these, the click in my 2022 R1T Quad persisted until last week when the service center suspected faulty sub frame welds. After installing a new casted generation 2 sub frame...
  17. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    I’ve only had to do it once (last week), and I’m already about 6 days in with consistent results on both the 1st Gen R1S and R1T. Initially, I considered getting a Gen 2 R1S because of the harshness (although another user mentioned they had the same issue). However, I also had the thought that...
  18. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    Yes, this was a significant solution to a persistent issue that had been bothering me. I suppose what occurred was that it re-trained it to the extremes of high and low to calibrate it. That was my hypothesis, and it worked!
  19. Harsh ride issue fix: exercise (calibrate) suspension -- raise to Off-Road Mode + lower to Performance Mode

    In both the R1T and R1S models, I’ve encountered issues with the suspension feeling excessively hard when hitting cracks, bumps, small potholes, and manhole covers. Both vehicles had undergone service for the clicking, ticking, and squeaking suspension issues. The common fixes included replacing...
  20. Rivian melt down, blow up, and inflation

    Yes that is actually a wrap and it really makes it pop in person. It changes between a yellow/orange and at certain angles of light it will turn gold.
