not covered, factory Rivian jack points remain fully accessable. We build compliant products!
They look great. Other than removing the plastic under protection do you have to cut or drill anything?

Alright, here is what you (Rock Slider update seekers) all have been waiting for. A little testing teaser to share - just a little for now - we'll get to some rock slams later, but this is worth a watch.

I am very pleased with the slider design. As mentioned, we've designed, built, tested, refined, tested, refined, etc...it's a process to get perfection. Rather than rush, we focus on being the best!

It's bomb-proof! We dropped the Rivian on the outer rail and not even a flinch! Zero deflection....nada! You can drop your Rivian on any rock out there and you're good to go - safe - doors open no problem.

"Jack" your Rivian wherever you like on this Rock Slider - doesn't matter, pick a spot, any spot. Worry not about 'denting' the product!

This product is engineered by pros/experts, properly tested, properly manufactured, proven to be indestructible. The best, that simple.

Get ready Rivian gang, those who pre-ordered and are waiting patiently will not be disappointed. This is the world's finest Rock Slider for Rivian, period.

BTW, in this video, we only have half the bolts installed! It only get's stiffer!

So when?! I hear you!!!! We are machining tooling now (this is not a simple quickie). I expect we'll start shipping production in late March.

Will R1S sliders ship at same time as R1T or delayed? If so when R1S?

R1S will ship after R1T, a few weeks behind R1T.

win/win/win looks great!

Can you remind me, what's the weight on the sliders vs the running boards?
sliders are more than 2x the weight of running boards...a lot more going on.

@EV Sportline...IF we wanted to switch from early pre-order running boards to rock sliders, would you and the team allow it, and what would the pricing difference be (early pre-order RB vs early pre-order RS)??? After seeing the design of these sliders, as well as seeing them in action, it might just be worth the money to switch! Thanks for bringing such great products to the market!!!

still have access to factory jack points, yes.
Thanks, I heard that before, but if the tire shop is using the factory jack points, are pucks still REQUIRED with the sliders installed?

Gang, you can use pucks with all our R1T/R1S Running Boards and Rock Slider products, if you like.

On the Running Boards, you can jack up on the running board mount brackets - however, we'd recommend using the factory jack locations with jack pucks (safest to recommend factory jack points!)

On the Rock Sliders, you can jack up anywhere on the Rock Slider - however, we'd recommend using the factory jack locations with jack pucks (safest to recommend factory jack points!)

Very doable, several people have switched between Running Boards and Rock Sliders - you will preserve your order date priority! Email or chat us to make the change, no problem!
