Sliders are realistically going to be closer to an end of summer early fall timeframe. Wish it could be earlier, but I wouldn’t want to over promise.
Thanks for the update! I completely get under promising and over delivering vs over promising and under delivering. More than likely I’ll just go with the running boards, so you may see a R1T order from me soon.
I received my order last evening and started my install today. First, I have to say that it was very well packaged. Since I have watched the installation video, I didn't have to read the instructions into details. I took my time and didn't try to be hurry; I guess I used less than four hours to unbox, get all the tools together and install.
I'm actually very happy with the quality and the looks.
It looks like you guys both did a great job with the installs! Thank you again!I received the running boards yesterday and I installed it today. They look really solid. Nicely packed and it was shipped asap per my request.
Installation took 3.5 hours. Instructions and video are superhelpfull. I could have done this under 2 hours, if I had impact wrench. It is very hard to work with tp55 without that. Even though I got torx bits , but manually it was very hard to do it. Also I saw it getting free at one point. Anyone who wants to do it pls make sure you have all tools. FYI, I am not a DIY person. If I can do it, anybody can do it. Cutting panel was easy. Taking panel out first time was very hard. You need to make sure flat head driver is not only long but head is wide enough. In some panels it was hard to put it back, but still not a big deal.
To me, the holes are NOT sharp at all.
I’m currently out of town and not by our Rivians but I believe you are correct, it is approximately an inch or so drop from the underbody panels.
I don’t think you can go wrong with either choice on Limestone. Black is always a safe choice and looks great. The hand polished satin finish is a little more bold and stands out a bit more. Honestly they both look great.
The total height including bracket is around 2 inches. They don't reduce clearance that much since the moulding near the rear wheel is essentially the same height as the mounting bracket. My R1S is in kneel mode in this picture, so still around 9 inches of clearance.
An inch would be great. I've been asking around this and other companies. Most of them look like 2"-3" if you look at the fasteners underneath. I could be completely wrong.The total height including bracket is around 2 inches.

Finally got some time to get mine installed. I love the look! I did measure wrong on one side. ?
I was actually worried there wouldn’t be enough grip and was ready to paint on some bed liner on to supplement grip. Not needed, the extruded holes are great! My Hey Dudes have no problem with them with their rubber soles.
