And he has (so far) resisted going and seeing the his new baby in the nursery...remarkable restraint considering he could throw a rock 3 times and hit the service center. I would have been there at the fence DAY ONE lol.
I bet he was up till 2 AM trying to remember where he filed the title on...
HA. When I first read that I thought "bag and a half of salt"? More like 40 bags of salt. But then I realized you must live up North where they buy/use salt in 50 pound bags. It is a chilly 64 here today and salt comes in 2 pound bags =)
For most people it will not be that hard but the goal...
I've had several people reach out asking about how loading / unloading would work--especially if you're no longer a strapping 30 year old. I put together one option as a demonstration. You can see it HERE.
If there is enough interest from the group for a second run sure. Whether or not there will be I have no way of knowing.
The same thing applies If Rivian does end up changing the gear tunnel at some point down the road. If there is enough interest from the group to produce a new design and do...
I'm not disagreeing with you--the very first one I designed was the maximum size I could fit in there because I am a big fan of dry camping BLM land and water capacity is king for that. My Skoolie design has 200 gallons of water onboard--that's 1,700 pounds of water, so Preacher meet Choir =)...
Thanks for the suggestions =)
A few things to consider. The Max Pack 35 gallon version (mentioned earlier in this thread) holds 300 pounds of water. I have not been able to find any documentation from Rivian stating the spare bay is rated for that kind of weight. Until I do we are capped at...
Several members have requested a water tank for the spare tire bay on the R1T. This is the mid sized version at 7 inches tall and 20 gallons. I have also done a "Max Pack" full height at 30 gallons that I posted earlier in this thread, but more on that later.
The tank is roto-molded with 4mm...
If you are referring the the Rivian gear shuttle, it is not used. If you have that installed it would have to be removed.
The Camp Kitchen, (meaning ours) and the slide out utility tray use a common slide out rail so you only need one and can fairly easily swap between them.
It will depend entirely on the group--these are more about group projects than typical "products". It could be 3 or 4 months or a year depending on how long it takes to get the second batch of people interested.
If you get your truck by early Feb you may still make the first group.
No worries as I can't post there either. If I am honest, "social media" is not my thing--or as my adult Son likes to say, "your just too old to get it".
Yeah I got quite a kick out of the ultra light weight titanium cookware. They chose a really heavy material for the main structure--I would bet it added 20 plus pounds, then saved 2 pounds with cookware intended for ultra distance backpackers and mountain climbers.
If it were me I would have...
Just had a peek at the list. 19 for the Camp Kitchen and 21 for the utility tray. I only post on one forum at a time so I can keep up with the questions--I will post on Rivian Owners on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Sooner or later somebody will post it to the Rivian sub reddit which will also help =)
I have never understood why they haven't brought the El Camino and Ranchero back either. Just imagine an El Camino EV. I think I would wet my pants and not even be embarrassed. Rivian if you're listening, an El Camino / Ranchero / Brat type vehicle on the R2 platform would be a bold BOSS...
I was getting a message that host servers were down also. They are saying they are aware and are working on it.
Just in case yours is a different issue, this is the site address.
As odd as this will sound, comparing ball bearing drawer slides to a slide rail is a bit like two pedal vs one pedal driving with the slide rail being one pedal. When you stop applying force friction will bring the tray to a stop fairly quickly.
The slide rail WILL take a bit more starting...
Those are all great ideas and I really love your DIY spirit.
After spending several weeks staring at the funky gear tunnel shape for hours at a time and trying to fit a square peg into whatever shape hole that is...I hear you man. My buddy Jeff thinks that after Rivian's engineers had designed...
Only you can sign you up and you can do that HERE.
That will get you on the list and provide us a way to contact you when we're ready to go on production.
