I finally said screw it and went away from the stock Pirelli's. I've had I think 4 sets of the stock Pirelli's over the years, never complained and never had a problem. They do get a bit loud when they're old, but otherwise zero issues in the Colorado mountains.
I've really been wanting to see...
It's always a blast getting onto Georgetown Lake to do some ice racing - the Rivian honestly crushed it with the stock Pirelli AT's, I was seriously impressed.
Drift Mode was way too rear wheel biased, Rally Mode was perfect.
Today's the big day, I upgraded from my 2023 Gen1 Quad to a 2025 Gen2 Tri-Max.
I had a bit of a business situation where it made a lot of sense to upgrade (and of course, I wanted to)
Delivery at Rivian Denver was smooth as always, the truck is flawless. Perfect fit & finish. I'm in love so far...
I found the ONE blind spot on my Rivian a few months back - the passenger rear side of the truck has a pretty crazy blindspot. I found it with a yellow parking lot bollard. Gotta love it. I also for the first time in my life got caught in a really nasty Colorado hailstorm. The shop has my truck...
I just can’t say enough good things about Rivian.
Because of all of my off-road bullshit that I have done with my truck (fun), the suspension has been a little funky lately to say the least. this is totally normal for people that seriously off-road and test the limits of their vehicles. It...
There apparently will be a refreshed R1T! Someone spotted Gardner Nichols towing a refreshed R1T with an R1T in Colorado Springs (Pikes Peak Hill Climb time attacks are starting right now).
I can’t wait to see full details!
I’m up in Telluride this weekend from Denver, my truck’s been parked out in the heavy snow for the past 2 days getting absolutely dumped on. I haven’t seen 1% even of range loss.
Go Rivian. Through lots of great software updates and tuning, no range loss at ALL!
Went to pick up some food...
I spent the weekend in Moab on a solo camping adventure.
I decided on a whim to tackle the White Rim Road through Canyonlands - 99 miles of off roading. I completed the trail in 2 days, getting around 75 miles on the first day and the last 25ish miles on the second day.
I left Moab with 85%...
I ran Argentine Pass on Friday with a good friend of mine who has a 1984 4Runner on 37’s.
First of all- if anyone here in Colorado hasn’t run Argentine Pass - you should. I’d love to go with you.
Well it didn’t take long for him to run into some engine problems. We sat on the trail for about...
I finally had a few days of good weather here to get the truck cleaned up and take some pictures at sunset outside of Boulder, CO. This truck is beautiful and I can't wait to keep taking pictures!
I know that I was just constantly searching for cool HD pics when I was waiting, so hopefully...
I took delivery on a rainy Friday morning on April 14th, I haven't had a ton of time to take really good photos yet, but here's just a few.
I also received a personalized care package from my Rivian guide, Andrei! He's been such a rock star and I'm so excited for my wife to purchase an R2 down...
I noticed when I put my order in (very late) on January 6th, 2023 that the delivery timeline for the R1T was "Late 2023". Later in the month, and all through February, the timeline shifted to "Early 2024".
I just checked the reservation system again this morning and it MOVED UP to "Fall 2023"...
