Moab Rock Crawl - Hell's Revenge & Fins 'n Things with R1T (during Bronco Safari)

[jakef801]

I did Fins 'n Things & Hell's Revenge solo in my Rivian yesterday. HEAVY pucker factor. I can safely say that the 21"AS tires did very well - almost no slippage at 45 PSI (didn't feel the need to lower the pressure even though I was totally planning on it). This was my 2nd time rock crawling as a driver. The front cam helped A LOT as it's impossible to see ahead going over many crests. First time rock crawling the R1T and it performed well above my expectations. (It's no longer a "cherry" or in cherry condition - scraped underside of plastic chrome panels of front and rear bumper as well as underbody shield. I was literally almost standing on some of the step descents - oh well, I bought the truck to use it, not for eye candy or to be Mr. Green). The R1T got excellent efficiency in rock crawling mode. The two trails took about 6ish hours to complete. I started with 74% battery and finished with 50% with AC on entire time!!

Can't wait to do it in my Badlands Sasquatch when it gets delivered later this month. Saw a couple B6G peeps out there, but it was mostly Jeeps & SXSs. The mass of Bronco folks are now in town. Debating going back today or going over by Canyonlands. I had my GoPro mounted on the hood and will post some YouTube vids when I get back to SLC.

Here's a teaser. There are some WAY more hairy ones I need to upload. Got pretty much all of Hell's today in 10 min increments.

Can I assume you had the underside protection option?

Indeed, I do. It has some "war wounds", but nothing bad.

Looks amazing! Need to get some rock sliders on it!

Which trail did the undercarriage scrape happen on? Planning on a trip in September. Fins but probably not hell's. I know others have been on both and I haven't heard about scraping/damage

Fins. Hell's Gate is way more hairy, especially the 2nd half. GoPro vids coming soon...

Nice work! It takes some time (and some scrapes) to get the feel for the clearance of a vehicle on various obstacles. This is the season to be out there; we were camping out there last weekend and will be again next weekend!

I am heading down from Seattle too, but in October. Should be fun!

Videos really do no justice at all...







The "clunk" in the 2nd video was a spotter's motorcycle tipping over...thought it was my truck!

Like Bob M. said, No problems... Zero scrape on the 3rd pic. 21" AS Wheels yo!
