There's been some interest in a more minimal slider for folks that don't need or want the step-up but still want some protection so their door panels don't look like mine do from off-roading before I put sliders on.

Adam at GOAT Fabrication has been working on a new rail slider that'll be available for both the R1T and R1S. He put a prototype up on my R1T this morning. I should note that the other side of the truck still has their rock slider on, that was one of their original prototypes, since you can still see it in some of these images.

They're also going to be making a version that has integrated recessed rock lighting on it that he is calling the "Night Slider".

I'm planning on putting a set of the Night Sliders on my R1S Tri-Max. I think they should still function pretty well as a step-up for the kids.

Still working through the details on wiring them in but I'm sure some suggestions could be helpful.

How much of a step is there with the door open? I have the OG Goat sliders but dig these and am optimistic that they would be enough of a step for the 3 times a year that its needed in my R1T.

I currently have the standard GOAT slider/step on my R1T and would be interested in these minimal sliders. The closer they can look to these, the better IMO.

Probably enough to help get another leg up into the truck the way these are.

I think it's not too far off from that. It's his product but I'm willing to bring up any ideas people have. I'd probably like to see them extend a little further forward/backward than they currently are, but for the stuff I'm personally exposed to, the little bit of a gap hasn't really mattered for the step sliders.

Would be great if it extended a little more in the back and maybe a little kick out as well.

I'm assuming these mount the same i.e. SC's requiring removal (or not ymmv) prior to service.

He said he might have a few inches to work with. The main concern for him is to keep the packaging within certain limits so they don't have to pay oversized shipping charges on them.

Not sure about the kickout. Their current pipe bender doesn't have the oomph to do the rectangle tube in the long dimension.

Same bolts as the step sliders that GOAT sells, normal jack holes remain exposed.

I like these. Depending on pricing these might find their way on my R1S trimax.

Thanks. I've been looking for sliders for my R1S, but haven't found anything to my liking. I had RCI sliders on my 5th gen 4R TRD Pro, but haven't found anything similar for the Rivian. I want to go on a shakedown run, but only after I get some sliders installed.

Getting ready for these GOAT Fabrication sliders. Replaced trail rash body cladding today. It's kind of funny that I tried to convince myself that the trashed body cladding was a badge of honor. Now that pieces are getting replaced, I'm trying to convince myself that the zebra stripes of sun-faded and deep, rich black body cladding is a badge of honor. In reality, it just looks silly 😜

Sounds like he has a plan to put another 2" up front and 3" in the back. My truck is still at his shop, but I think he will be too busy to get anything finished up until next week some time.
