Our magnetic jack pucks will ensure you or anyone lifting your Rivian R1T or R1S for any type of service related to the tires and wheels always have the right tool for the job.
Here is our story. I reserved on 12/08/2018 at the LA Auto Show, then I waited and waited (s00n was the cry) for my R1T to be a reality and when it was, I was amazed, thrilled, overjoyed and I still am all of those things. Sure, there are challenges, I understand, but this has been an amazing truck for me. 13,500 miles later.....how Rivian inspired me to venture forth is my own story and I'm sure many of yours.
August 2022: Quite a few long time forum members have built products and showcased them here (as well as sell them online), so I thought I would do the same. Why? I had no way to lift my truck in the beginning days as I didn't have a spare which meant I didn't have a jack puck! So, I used an o ring design puck and it wouldn't even work on the front two jack locations on the truck and decided then and there, that a magnetic design was the solution, so after drilling my own (months ago), getting some high powered fridge magnets, it kinda worked, but lacked the specific energy to hold.
Oct. 2022: Fast forward to the present and a few design updates along the way, I have actually designed, put into a Solid Works profile and released multiple CNC STEP drawings and am in production now. We used 5 high-energy NdFeB magnets, 6061 T6 aluminum, and anodized them Red.
The pictures below are the pre-production version (I left the groove on as a symbol to me, it would be the end of o rings and grooves forever) and it's now in pre-sale for shipment to customers in 30 days. Response has been overwhelming already, but we thought it would be, so we're cutting metal now on hundreds upon hundreds of our NeoHOT (Neodymium - Hot for hot pressed) magnetic jack pucks. Thank you for the inspiration Rivian Forums! The first batch is retail $220, Sale $180 for a set of four (4) with a zippered case, or a single puck (1) retail is $65, Sale $55 and we'll reset pricing after selling out.
Jan 2023 Update: The above seems like so long ago already as we're launching round 3 of production with a continual improvement process. We have the largest installed base of magnetic jack pucks by a substantial margin, but we can't rest on that. The marketplace now has at least four admirers of our magnetic jack puck solution, which makes it an exciting time for Rivian owners and those developing products.
From a modified QuickJack lift pad in early April 2022, to this!! Quite a transformation.
