Now they just need to post more-than-respectable specs for range on an EV9 model, (preferably AWD) at or exceeding 300 miles. With the specs leak showing the highest trim level only getting around 240 miles, I don't feel that that will be enough for most to ditch their ICE SUV...especially if...
@EV Sportline...IF we wanted to switch from early pre-order running boards to rock sliders, would you and the team allow it, and what would the pricing difference be (early pre-order RB vs early pre-order RS)??? After seeing the design of these sliders, as well as seeing them in action, it...
Daaaaaaaaaaayuuuuuuuuuuuuum!!! Now THAT looks phenomenal!!! Now I'm even more excited for my delivery! Limestone and OC are a perfect pairing!!! Love everything about OC...except of course that hideous steering wheel airbag cover! Thanks for sharing! I bet these pics will go viral! ?
That's exactly what I will do...grab those combo bottle jack/jack stands from Amazon. They're really cheap and I've already ordered. I plan to keep one in the truck at all times to replace the included jack. Plus I have a ProEagle 3ton off road jack to use as well.
Love those 20s in dark...HATE them in brights! Crazy how much of a difference it makes!
Do you plan to find where that yellow Rivian 'tag' was on each wheel and paint it yellow again? I asked some shops and they stated that everything gets coated and they can't retain that little yellow...
That's what I plan to do when my R1S gets delivered sometime this year. It'll sit on jack stands while the wheels get powder coated. I do plan to get a 2nd set for off-roading, but I will likely not have those in hand at the time of delivery, sooooo...jack stands will be my solution. It'll...
Wow!!! Now THAT looks hella good!!! Great job on the mods/changes! Every time I see the 21s powder coated, it causes me to rethink my plan to powder coat my 22 brights when my R1S finally gets delivered. I also love the 20 darks, so you have the best of both worlds! I definitely plan on...
That's fantastic!!! What was your last estimated delivery window? I'm an Adventure R1S with OC pre-ordered in Nov 2020 like you, but at the end of Jan 2023, they shifted my delivery window from Apr-June, to July-Sept. I'm curious if you got the same shift, and if MAYBE I can expect/hope for a...
EXCELLENT POST! Thanks for all of the pictures AND ideas! Love all of your mods.
Although I'm already config locked into Midnight (also previously configured El Cap and Limestone), your LA Silver in Stealth looks absolutely sick, and has me 2nd-guessing my life choices! Lol! If I ever get...
Great idea on making the slots in the Jack puck for stability. I have some rubber jack pads that I was going to use with this combo unit, but if they don't give me peace of mind while lifting, then I might try your solution! ??
The alternatives that I am considering are both Powerbuilt 3 ton combo jacks from Amazon:
https://a.co/d/8V1dEqA @ $65 and https://a.co/d/c6N28ZF @ $86
Both are about 22-23lbs, and I'm not really sure what the difference is between these two, but both are reasonably priced.
Thank you for sharing your process. I didn't even know this type of solution (bottle jack/jack stand combo) was available. I already have a ProEagle 3 ton off road jack, but that's cumbersome to use all the time and obviously isn't compact. I'm going to pick up one of these combo units which...
Congrats on finally taking delivery, and thanks for the short story :) Glad you've had the opportunity to go on your first 'adventure'!
Your reservation details give me hope that my Nov 2020 Adventure R1S reservation might come much sooner as well. My est delivery dates have shifted the same...
