    21” tires and snow- winter travel

    This is well trod ground from last winter. 21s on PNW packed snow and ice on hilly city streets SUCK.

    Mt Bachelor

    No, I have not driven the R1T up to Bachelor. I had some fairly typical "white knuckle" experiences with the 21s on icy / snowpacked roads back in Nov when it first started snowing here in Bend, so I relegated the truck to the garage for much of the winter. I do drive it around town on snow...

    Mt Bachelor

It didn’t show 55 on the truck but that’s what I found with my gauge. So yes a bug. But now that I know...

    Tire change and jack points

    Got in the truck over the weekend and was greeted with a low pressure reading in one of the tires. Upon closer inspection I found a screw embedded near the center of the tread block, source of the slow but steady leak. Used the handy compressor to keep the pressure up over the weekend until I...

    Worth the Wait

    After waiting 3 years, 7 months and 17 days from our pre-order deposit, our R1T finally arrived. The promise of near instant delivery from the R1 Shop prompted us to change our plans to wait for the Max Pack. From R1 Shop invitation to delivery - 6 days. Delivery came off on time, exactly as...
