Some reviews indicate that this canopy (er, the unbranded one) sets up more quickly than many others do.
Are there other canopies that set up just as quickly? What's the best alternative to this canopy (other than the unbranded one)?
I do that drive the opposite direction with snow tires and a gen 1 large pack. There are so many places to charge that I wouldn't sweat it. You won't go more than ~90 miles without passing a fast charger. The Georgetown Chargepoint has been perfect in my experience, fwiw.
I'm a bear-cooler guy myself but I'd imagine a fridge would stay cold overnight (at elevation). Way better to have it further away and get it stolen than to get your truck pried open by the bear, imho.
Not all off-roading is rock crawling and not all rock crawling leaves you with only one tire contact at a time.
If you like to go fast on loose surfaces, there's nothing else like quad-motor torque vectoring. Drift mode alone is roughly $10k worth of fun, imo.
It does look like a caliper hanger but, seeing the rust, I'd bet it started out on someone else's vehicle and spent some time on the road before your tire kicked it up onto your suspension.
Yes, yes. Everything except the Tesla charger is a dangerous hazard. Open differentials are the pinnacle of traction control. Almost every thread. I almost didn't post because of your energetic and confident incorrectness.

Yes. "Parkworld 63289 EV Charging Adapter NEMA TT-30P to 14-50R Straight Type" has worked for me with the Rivian portable charger. You'll have to set the truck to only draw 24A. It isn't super fast but fast enough if you are staying the night.
Moving two to four wheels in lockstep with individual AC (/BLDC) motors is a solved problem. Will they have some minuscule amount of jitter compared to a mechanically locked axle? Probably but the snow, slush, gravel and loose dirt won't notice. You'd probably have a difference on laterally...
I suspect this is more or less what you meant but... being right is a fine and admirable goal. To work towards it, you have to change your mind in the face of contradicting evidence or logic. That's the part everyone seems to have given up on.
Dumb question here out of actual ignorance: what are people putting in those cargo boxes that's worth the significant range hit? I've never needed one and they don't look long enough for skis.
I wouldn't hate RAN chargers in Steamboat or Silverthorne but Walden, with the Northern Dunes, Never Summer Mountains and Upper Poudre Canyon in the area and no other chargers, would be even better. I'd probably use a Silverthorne one all the time but a Walden RAN would enable much more casual...
Wheels received. UPS guy was relieved.
I've only opened one so far but my overall impression is that they are pretty nice wheels for the money. The style holds up in person. Good packaging. The outside face was well protected and is free of blemishes. There are some minor non-shipping blemishes...
