  1. Are You Ready for a Flat? Tire Repair, Jack, Puck, Air Compressor Recommendations

    I admit what I've assembled for my kit is a bit overdone but better safe than sorry, especially when you are lifting the vehicle off-road. In terms of repair kits, I have both the traditional Slime kit for regular flats...
  2. Interrobang Gear Tunnel Slide Preview and Production Update

    +1 on the slider interest (as one who used your tonneau design and love it).
  3. Rivian ring key by CNICK

    Wilsonos, Would love to see how your approach works. In the meantime, I found this DIY video that demonstrates the transplant process:
  4. Had to try my new NACS adapter at a Tesla Supercharger

    I second dialectic grease if you have to put some kind of lubricant at all. The other lubricants may cause an arc if you accidentally put too much on. Because of the high voltages involved, I personally would scrap off a bit of the plastic from the adapter contact points with some sand paper...
  5. Entire Tesla Supercharger team fired (Update: Elon Musk says supercharger network growth will continue). ** ⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS **

    Tesla's revenue dropped by 9% in Q1 of 2024. With the 10% layoff at Tesla, Rivian and Tesla now apparently have a similarly sized workforce. As much as we all love our EVs, the EV market is saturated, the GDP is down, interest rates are not going to be cut, and EV companies need to tighten...
  6. Super Heavy Duty Hitch Step / Bumper Protector with Photos

    Thanks for the idea! I ended up getting the one in the below link from Amazon, primarily because of the extra length of just under 26 inches instead of 12" or 18" on most other ones. WeatherTech has a really nice 24" solid billet Aluminum one but they are asking $699 for that one. The one I...
  7. 20" Michelin Defender LTX Platinum Tires review -- For all of you thinking about a 20" tire! Your wait is over!

    Thanks for sharing. Just curious whether you have asked Rivian to reprogram the car so the speedometer shows the correct speed?
  8. Check your shocks. Mine are leaking after 10k miles / 9 months.

    Thanks for sharing. The bottom picture looks like caked on dirt. The top picture looks like some liquid leakage. Is the leakage oily? I am wondering if it's just caked on dirt that got wet and looks like leakage (since the pictures show a lot of dirt on other parts like your wheels and CV boots...
  9. Phone Contact sync...

    Same exact experience with Rivian 2023.42.01 software here. It was working several versions back and then stopped. It's working again. (My phone is a Samsung ZFlip 5 with Android 13 and latest software updates.)
  10. Driving in Blizzard with Fog Lights

    Orange masking tape seems to stick better than the standard stuff https://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-Scotch-1-41-in-x-60-yds-Heavy-Duty-Grade-Masking-Tape-2020-36AP/206827411 I haven't used it for this purpose but I expect to have to dry the bar pretty well before applying. This stuff is a lot...
  11. Driving in Blizzard with Fog Lights

    Thanks for the suggestion! It would be an easy way/quick way to provide a temporary solution for those of us that don't necessarily encounter thick fog all the time.
  12. A less painful DIY wheel swap / tire rotate

    Well, I am in my mid 50s and nobody has accused me of being too young and dumb :D I do have the tire wheel dolly I posted above but last time I rotated my tires, I just lifted the wheels by hand. If you get the tires barely lifted off the ground, there is really very little lifting to do.
  13. A less painful DIY wheel swap / tire rotate

    The tire wheel cart is pretty easy to manipulate. You can rotate the tires easily while loaded to line them up with the studs. I do have a similar setup to the go-jack solution to role my project/classic car around my garage. I already had vehicle dollies from harborfreight...
  14. A less painful DIY wheel swap / tire rotate

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HVBH1Y9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 This one works well for me. They are out of stock but looks like other similar ones are available as long as you pick the right size.
  15. 20" Pirelli Scorpion reviewed in winter/snow tire test comparison

    Please report back on how they wear. I have had several winter tire sets that lost a lot of traction after the first season when they were all fantastic at the start.
  16. 20" Pirelli Scorpion reviewed in winter/snow tire test comparison

    As somebody who lives in Colorado and drove to ski country regularly last season, I see 0 reason for buying dedicated snow tires for my R1T. The 20" AT have surpassed my expectation for winter handling, low noise, and wear. From experience (:D), you just have to change your driving habits...
  17. Phone Contact sync...

    No luck on my end. I am sure my problem is because of the sheer number of contacts I have (~3k) but it was working before.
  18. Phone Contact sync...

    Thanks, the funny thing is that it wasn't an issue 2 software versions ago :crying:
  19. Phone Contact sync...

    I hear you. Except when it works, it's very nice. It transfers the pictures and is very easy to use. I may try multiple phone key deletions as @Rknb2000 suggested. Mine was working fine until the update before the current one (the update before 2023.34).
