Rear diff pinion gear sheared a few teeth, but he wanted to re-gear anyway, so new pinion and 4.88 gears out back. You gotta do the front now too, so he's putting in a front locker and matching gearing. All in all, it's gonna be like $2500 or so, but now he gets 3-way lockers!

I love this statement, and I'll make a simple one in return: It can do most all the things your Durango or Avalanche does, just quietly. I think of mine the same way and treat it like my cell phone; an expensive but useful tool. Pickups are supposed to be utilitarian. Background: I've had a...

Thanks everyone for the kind words! For those who are (rightly) horrified to see me thrash this beautiful truck for pretty much no good reason, if it's any consolation, I'm doing it to showcase just HOW good a vehicle it really is at doing truck things. There's a place for measuring panel...

This guy knows what's up :)

Definitely. In terms of pedal modulation, the brakes were far touchier to manage speed, especially when going over bumps that jostle your feet. The rock crawl mode significantly extends throttle travel effectively damping throttle inputs, which is helpful. In order of controllability, here's...

We were under no impression that this was ever a good idea, and that success was measured by not getting hurt. I'm so impressed with Rivian that I'm really trying to explore how far this truck overlaps with other more dedicated market segment vehicles, because so far it's pretty astonishing...

There's also the possibility it's from my hitch skid dragging, but again we would then probably see it on trucks that tow a lot with heavy trailers. A a total mystery!

Had that thought as well... But none of my bumpers were scuffed before Rubicon so kinda crossed that one off the list. The only other variable were the DCE sliders bolted to the frame, but that makes less sense. Mystery wrinkles: part of the aging process.

Tried the Rubicon trail this weekend, tie rods didn't bend with these sleeves installed. Seems like they work as intended!

Hey y'all - this might be a bit of a read, but after reading how Rivian got the R1S through the Rubicon trail, but none of the trucks, that annoyed me and figured there's a way for it to be done. So, not so good ideas were hatched. If you only care about the outcome, read no further, the title...

I've been super happy with my Exped Megamat, fits great and super comfortable, I've had so many great nights of sleep on it, and only after 6 years of almost monthly use has it started to leak a tiny bit of air. Mine is the duo 10 but they make a 15 now which I'll probably pick up next time it...

For sure... But I'm also not afraid of the big bad bypasses, and hopefully these DCE sliders are all they're cracked up to be!

SCIENCE!

So my read here is that 2022 model R1T inner tie rods are weaker than necessary and they updated it in late 2023 to thicker as a result, to beef up strength. Seem correct? I'm going to attempt the Rubicon in my R1T this October so I'll order a set of spares, but I have the sleeves also.

doubling down... would prefer a thicker bead protector and valve stem protector than fake beadlock look any day. also...whats the offset?

This makes me happy, glad I was able to help inspire! Enjoy!

looks good but its unfortunate about the sharp edges on that thing, definitely do not use soft shackles if you need to do a recovery. I've got a similar one that I've had in service for years now on previous trucks, that has nice chamfered edges, but doesnt have the step like that one...

Badass!! It's SO much nicer having a flat tailgate surface

My experience exactly at 5'10"!

Right here! I'm always up for the challenge of getting stuck somewhere! @Ramble On Rivian good luck with mojave road! the charging situation could get... dicey. Let us know how it goes!
