I ordered a Range Industries slide to replace my EVBase one and it's been great. The Range Industries slide ships flat packed instead of fully assembled but that means you can decide which direction you want it to come out. It's about 20lbs heavier also with thicker material all around and an...
Here is the communication I received about my order:
Jun 30: Order placed
July 23: First communication asking if they could ship the slide via a slower method than what I paid for. I declined but they did anyway.
July 30: Received FedEx tracking number
August 14: FedEx tracking number status...
They have been giving me the run around asking for different pictures and refusing to accept the return. I have made it clear to them I will proceed with a charge back if they continue so I'm not particularly worried about getting my refund. It's just up to them if they want the slide back or...
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be. I asked at a service center after trying to contact rivian support and a certified body shop and neither could help. The service center was happy to show me the part of the manual I needed though. I do hope some day rivian opens access to the full manual.
I got access to the service manual to get the torque specs to properly install the DHD sleeve.
Jam nut (DHD sleeve replaces this): 80Nm/59ft.lbs
Ball joint nut: 190Nm/140ft.lbs
Spacers do seem like a potential solution but the slide needs to be at least 1/2 inch higher to clear the latch at the top of the gear tunnel door. That's a big stack of washers.
The end plate of the evbase slide protrudes down for no discernable reason in a way that unnecessarily reduces...
I believe I am one of the first members to receive and install the EVBase slide and I cannot recommend it to others currently. I made a more detailed post with images in a thread here.
Does anyone know the exact paint code so we can try and get a matching high temp touch up for small chips?
Edit: Found an older thread where people try and match the caliper color. Similar colors have been found but none seem suitable for the application...
First I would like to thank you both for the time and effort you've put into helping the community. I greatly appreciate it.
Secondly I would like to know if we have a resource thread that indicates all the common areas that produce rattles during certain audio conditions. I have been waiting...
Does anyone in Austin TX have an R1T they can loan to superfluid for testing? I would love to see the analysis for the smaller cabin but I'm a little too far away to donate my own truck for testing.
Since some people are having trouble accessing the list, here are the top 10 vehicles ranked by how many owners would buy them again:
1) Chevrolet Corvette: 93%
2) Rivian R1T: 88%
3) Mazda MX-5 Miata: 88%
4) Lexus NX PHEV: 87%
5) BMW X5: 85%
6) Rivian R1S: 84%
7) Ford Maverick Hybrid: 83%
8)...
I'm interested to hear what sort of problems you had with your R1T. If you already posted them elsewhere and don't feel like rehashing it could you drop a link (if that's allowed here)?
Thanks
You will need a M10x1.5 threaded rod of at least 100mm length. Something like this should work but you can get it from plenty of other places.
