Should I hold off on buying both?
Yes, hold off from both at the moment. You could do the bumpers - and plan that brush bars for bumper will come later.

Hey gang, looking for that 2025-present 'tester' still - I had a couple people message me, but then vanish. I am back looking for someone seeking a deal on a set!

Hey 2025+ R1 owners, back seeking someone who wants one - The guys that wanted to test one ended up fizzling out, so I am back to seeking a 2025'er that is interest!


For the Gen II / 2025+, need to test to make sure no issues with front sensor / radar. I need a tester...so anyone with a GEN II 2025+ R1T / R1S that wants a SPECIAL discount deal and will test for us, please PM me!

So the risk is that it interferes with the front radar. Won’t know until tested. The front radar is for self driving - are you okay if that doesn’t work?

In the area we live, we have significant issues with car/deer accidents. Has anyone had any experience with how the guard holds up to an accident, specifically a deer strike?

On a side note, it is my understanding per the manufacturer, that the front guard will not interfere with cameras or sensors.

Thank you ☮

Hi there - this brush bar is really heavy duty; it will stand well against a deer. This one is not just for looks.

For the Gen I, no problem at all. For Gen II, we havent tested it -- we warn that it may obscure the front radar. I made a deal with a guy to test it on his 2025, but then he wrecked his vehicle before he had a chance to test and we're still waiting to get him back in action.

If anyone has a Gen II (aka newer Rivian), I am happy to cut a special deal for you - so we can get the test done sooner.

Thx

I have a 2026 R1T, but it is Dual Standard.
Since they don’t have the tow hooks, does that prevent the installation of this product?

Tow hooks don't matter - we remove those to bolt this brush bar on. We confirmed the new Rivian with no tow hook, still has the proper mounting bolt bosses. You'll need to cut clearance through the plastic panel for the brush bar (where you'd have a tow hook, if you did have them). Note, our brush bar includes new integrated tow hooks too, so you'll gain those.

That’s good to know. You’re welcome to DM if you want to discuss possible testing arrangement.
