    WTF Utah?

    I'll throw in a vote for Hanksville as well. Camping and wheeling the "backside" of Canyonlands is a beautiful thing.

    Rivian Service gets a Gold Star!

    Rivian service gets a bit of bad press here and sometimes well deserved, so...... TL;DR I just wanted to post a very positive experience with Rivian service. My wife and I were headed home in fairly heavy rainstorm Thur evening. About 5 miles from home on the highway at 65mph, I noticed the...

    2023.14.0 Software Update NICE! New Gear Guard App w/ Drive Cam

    Yes...my wife is jealous too. My usual comment is something like "Maybe if you spoke nicer about her in her presence, she'd treat you with more respect." I know I'm poking the bear, but anything to keep my wife out of the drivers seat of my baby is worth it.

    2023.14.0 Software Update NICE! New Gear Guard App w/ Drive Cam

    Ditto...mine changed recently as well. I feel like an idiot staring at the door handle of my high-tech vehicle waiting for it acknowledge my existence. It's almost like she's upset that I haven't given her a bath lately. Or maybe I should stop personalizing my relationships with computerized...

    Rivi got some new shoes - Nitto Recon Grappler AT Tires (275/65/R20)

    Ha! My office is in Lakewood...completely totaled my Ford Fusion. Drove home with a baseball size hole in my front windshield. That was a crazy storm for sure!

    PPF question - spend $7k to put a clear PPF on $80k vehicle?

    I have full PPF and here is why it payed off for me https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/this-is-why-we-do-ppf.8249/ I camp and off-road and my truck gets attacked by dogs. It's expensive and completely a personal choice based on how you use your vehicle and how long you intend to keep...

    Show us your Mountain/Gravel/Road Bike MTB - Rivian Style!

    Ahhh....bike porn! I've been riding a Revel Rascal for the last couple of years and love it, but wanted a bit more travel for the park days and chunk while still pedaling up the hills. This Revel Rail29 just arrived on Friday. More pics when she's ready to roll.

    R1T and Mountain Biking

    Ouch! The Mike's clearly had a bad year last year. Washed out on the inside of a berm and broke my left collarbone in 2 places in Sept. One plate and six screws later....can't wait to get back on my ride :)

    R1T and Mountain Biking

    I considered that option, but I camp and offroad, usually with bikes in tow, and didn't want anything lower off the back

    R1T and Mountain Biking

    I have the standard 1up with the 2" receiver. Love the rack, but it was too close to the tailgate by default. Bought a cheapo 7" hitch extender from Amazon (smallest size I could find) and it was too far out for my liking. My solution was to cut the extender down so the rack fit all the way...

    R1T Bed Rack: Sierra Rack System

    I'd also like details on mounting with pics if possible. I also have a RTT perma mounted to a set of factory cross bars hanging in the garage and have been looking for an option that raises the tent up a bit to make bed access a bit more convenient without sacrificing aero...

    A/C not blowing cold air?

    Mine had this same issue. Blew cold when I picked it up and degraded over a few weeks Cause: Cut O'ring for A/C pressure sensor at condenser Fix: Replace the condenser Cold as ice since.

    Non-Rivian rooftop tents

    Or you can just buy them :) I thought I'd already posted these up in this thread previously??? but they worked perfectly for my tent and the crossbars. I wrapped the bars with a chopped up bike tube at each mount to reduce the scarring. https://www.etrailer.com/p-THXADAPT14.html

    PPF advice?

    I can only speak for myself 1. The minimal PPF that came on my truck from the factory...frankly sucked...and getting it replaced wouldn't be a timely thing....especially on the major parts of the vehicle with the factory option 2. It wasn't a thing when i got mine in May 3. I wanted ceramic...

    PPF advice?

    Denver Auto Shield. They aren't cheap but had them fully wrap mine in XPEL and ceramic with Window tint on the driver and passenger and the workmanship is amazing. They have done many Rivians.

    This is why we do PPF

    These are the choices. I have an armored trail rig with dents, scrapes and pin stripes and if I dent it more...so what. I also didn't spend $80k of my hard earned cash for that one :)

    This is why we do PPF

    It did not reach the paint. I had the PPF shop look at it yesterday to see if they could fix without replacing, but the PPF is too damaged to just heat it up.

    This is why we do PPF

    The wife, pup and I went out camping this last weekend. After the first night we decided to head out for another location. While driving the forest road towards the highway, my pup was hanging out the window and my wife yelled and grabbed her. I young German Sheppard was running straight for...

    Non-Rivian rooftop tents

    Curious....I have the Thule Tepui 3 as well (non-ruggedized). I purchased wider mounting brackets to fit the load bar width, but you said "2.5" riser mounts"? What did you use for these? It would be nice to have a couple of extra inches on the sides to get into the bed when the tent is mounted.
