Thanks guys! Yes we will have everything up and available soon. We have had almost everything completed and installed for over 6 months, and have just been testing to make sure it is all perfect before it goes live. It's been tough not talking about the parts when we've received such positive feed back during testing. Wait until you hear the horn upgrade, it sounds awesome coming from a Rivian!
Canā€™t wait for the horn upgrade, definitely on my list.

Rock sliders in your future???
We'll see šŸ˜‰

The running boards look nice. I have been on the fence due to delivery inconsistencies and the current ones cut off the puddle light. An easy DIY install that's flush would be also great. Have you considered making roof racks too? All the best.
Yes, roof racks will be coming as well.

I would be interested in Rock Slider and Brush Guard in black. Not sure I am a fan of the shiny ones though. But thanks for giving us options. šŸ‘

If you can make Rock Sliders similar to your Running Boards/Steps it would be great. Yours seem to have edge to edge coverage. Not sure why some other ones on the market seem to have a gap of coverage near the wheel wells.

Also, the brush guard seems interesting, did you considered adding a mounting location for a winch? As you know we have limited options for front winches, so you probably be the 1st in the market.

He isnā€™t talking about a winch option, so I suspect it is in development but not ready to be announced. I think the front cameras and sensors would be impacted by a winch.

In the meantime, I have a More Power Puller from Wyeth-Scott, and Iā€™m being careful about avoiding situations where I could need a winch

I should have the horn kits ready to go before the end of the year. Amazing how much more authoritative the R1 feels when that new sound is coming out!

I have been thinking about getting a winch to the rear. Something portable using the tow receiver + cradle. But the battery for it and how to get it powered has put me in pause.

But the one you linked seems even more portable and no cradle needed, and obviously no battery in exchange for some sweat. :CWL:

Have you used it?

I see it's rated at 12,000 lbs? is that with a double rope pull?

I havenā€™t used it. Iā€™m too cautious now after watching off road recovery videos. I would try using it to move a downed log on a forest service road. Maybe

The tires look pretty nice. Are they wider than the stock 20s? How do they effect mileage?

The wheels are Fuel Off-Road Rage (D711). Going from your 22" sport brights to these 20" with an A/T will make for a pretty dramatic difference in the looks department on your R1T.

These are a 285 series tire, so just a hair wider. So far I haven't really noticed a difference in range. I was expecting a rougher ride, but so far I've been pleasantly surprised with how smooth the truck feels.

Hello Rivian Community!

I wanted to introduce ourselves to you, we are RealWheelsEV. I know I haven't posted much here , but have been following Rivian and this forum from the start and have been a huge fan since day 1. That said we are a vehicle accessory manufacturer and have been making parts and accessories for Cars, trucks, and SUV's for over 40 years! We are launching a new accessory line specifically made for Rivians that features Stainless Steel Brush Guards, Side Steps, Bed and Roof Racks, and the all important horn upgrade!

I can't wait to show you all more, but here is preview of some upcoming parts.

Having seen this rig in person (Chicagoland Rivian Meet-up) I can attest to how good this looks all together. The wife is even asking me to get the running boards from RealWheelsEV!

Also... hands down the coolest "business card" ever made. :)

Thanks Tom, much appreciated! You have a pretty mean looking truck too especially with the matte black and yellow accents. I'm doing a couple running board installs next week on R1S's, so anytime you're ready just let me know and we'll get your R1T setup too.

If you need anymore "business cards", I'm sure I'll have some more at the next meet up šŸ˜‰
