rust
[rəst]
noun
a reddish- or yellowish-brown flaky coating of iron oxide that is formed on iron or steel by oxidation, especially in the presence of moisture
Not sure they ever made any like that @EV Sportline. And the R1S has a shorter wheelbase than the R1T, so these would only work for the R1S.These are older model i thing the frames are aluminum and the tread plates that are screwed on top are steal and that’s what’s has a little rust. They fit my 2023 R1S. My understanding they fit all.
the new one are all alumimu
And welded.
Alloy steel does not mean Aluminum, it means carbon steel combined with other materials to enhance a desired specification.Update:
Proudly Made in the USA
Team 1EV has engineered the most innovative and precision fitment bolt-on running boards and rock sliders for the Rivian R1T and R1S. With a strong emphasis on balancing proper design language, function, fitment and quality, the RMaxx Running Boards & Rock Sliders bring the convenience of a running board together with the optional protection of a properly engineered armored slider in a design that fits right and looks fantastic on the Rivian R1T and R1S.
Attention to detail is paramount and our goal was to make the steps look like they came from the factory. True to this goal, we didn’t add any logos or out-of-style design features. The modest tread design looks right at home on the Rivian while providing sufficient step traction.
The boards are tucked in properly, meshing visually with the natural truck lines, and the rock slider armor skid plate integrates properly and DIRECTLY with the actual Rivian frame structure rail on the top side (NOT cantilevered out with brackets) – go bang and slide over all the rocks you like, we’re ready for you!
Material Specifications
Material specifications are equally suited for the street, overlanding or Moab, take your pick, you’re covered.
Running boards start with CNC-bent 1.75” OD alloy steel tubing with laser cut and welded frame bracketry and steel tread plate step surfaces. We finish all surfaces with a rugged textured black powder coating.
Running boards are rated for 1,000 lbs load.
Sliders are rated for 1,760 lbs+ loads, consider them simply indestructible!
