Last time we talked about road trips and found that everyone pays great attention to car maintenance, and pre-trip checks are an essential part of the process (checking tire pressure, rims, car battery, changing oil, etc.). In everyday life, what vehicle conditions do you guys care about most, for safety reasons or personal hygiene needs?

Let's share how much regular vehicle maintenance do you actually do.

Please select the maintenance tasks you have already completed or are sure you can complete this month. (This is a multiple-choice poll)

After voting, please leave a comment below:
How many items did you complete in total? What do you think is the most important? Share your experiences and little skills in thos thread.

Winner Pick Up:
We will pick up one winner on 29th Jan. The user with the most likes in the comments section is winner!

Prize: A set of 3W car mat

Added a comma 4. Not daily maintenance, but will be daily useful.

I threw a 50 extension cord in the bed for the ice storm to connect to my tankless water heater, so it wouldn‘t explode when we lost power. Nice to have a giant portable power station parked in my garage.

My #1 is keeping an eye on the tire pressure. It seems even more important for driving feel since switching from the 21" Pirelli to Michelin (when it's at all low, the ride feels very mushy), and it's super-convenient to be able to have it on the screen in front of the steering wheel full-time.

None of the above.

I did take the "dog hammock" out of the back seat to clean it off. That's it.

I installed GOAT Step Sliders, replaced OEM with a new Louder aftermarket Horn, & did a 5 Wheel Rotation. Not to mention the off-roading, trail route mapping, damage, breaks and other Rivian recovery lol, good times!!

The Rivian OEM all-weather mats are hot garbage. No lifted edges, poor fitment, and as you can see snow and salt get right past them.

Wash them? Nah. Would rather throw them away.

I check tire pressure every single time I drive. The driver screen widget makes it simple, even for dummies like me! 😄

Any chance you can expand on that horn? Perhaps link if youre liking it? This OEM one does not properly convey the message I am trying to get across.

Ok. West Michigan winters are salty. Been doing the car wash thing for a while but have trended to the only car wash in town that cleans mats bcuz the std Riv mats only hold salt!
