k3g's R1T build thread

[Ghersey]

I just run off the new ones in the bed. I run a 12v fridge and accessories to charge phones and run lights. I haven’t had any problems. I connected to the 12v port so I could still control all the ports through the vehicle camp mode. I also ran a little higher gauge wire so I didn’t have a voltage drop. Hope this helps.

Well, it's been a while without any updates, so here goes a few of them.

First, I don't have the same truck as pictured here anymore. To sum up what could become a negativity-pit, Rivian repurchased my truck from me after significant service center visits.

Second, the very next day I flew to LA and picked up this gen1 demo quad motor:

The config is basically the same as my first truck: Quad motor large pack, reinforced underbody, dark AT's. Major difference is this truck's interior is Forest Edge. None of the concerning creaks, brake failures, rattles, fit issues, etc are present on this truck. It's a completely blank slate, with 100% of my trust reestablished (within reason of course) in driving a Rivian around.

The very next day I threw my ProSpeed rack and roof tent right onto the new truck (no wiring yet for the lights) and got some borrowed kayaks on top for an adventure:

Now, this is a build thread, so here's a new thing I built! I liked the idea of the bungee net in the frunk, but the execution left a bit to be desired. Nothing a 3D scan can't solve...

This one turned out even better than I expected.

It's three pieces of laser cut 5052, black powder coat, with stainless steel PEM nuts pressed into the outer pieces. The corners clear the false floor nicely when you're folding it up. It holds bungee cords too, to hold a single object in place when you're dabbling in sport mode on the way to the local pot luck.

I've got three organizer pouches on it so far, one for my NACS adapter, one with pens/allen wrenches/tire pressure gauge/other bullshit like that. The middle is a dump pouch. My thinking there is it's an easy collapsible bag for muddy shoes or something else.

Two questions:
1: who made the fog light film on your previous truck? it looks more amber than what twraps offers.
2: how can i buy a frunk molle panel?

If you’re interested, another option for bungee cords is https://thebetterbungee.com/

Really wish Rivian had installed the same track system in the frunk that is in the cargo area of the r1s.

Fiarly certain it's this, just cut to size. There was a similar post ages ago with an owner opting for the orange film over the TWraps yellow. I keep contemplating the swap from amber to orange. Significantly easier as well as I can just cut them to match my old TWraps film once removed.

It’s Laminex Orange film, comes in square sheets that you cut to size.

For the second question, there will be more news on that front s00n.

This all aluminum camp kitchen is amazing looking. The only change I would consider is moving the induction cooktop to towards the edge of the countertop instead of closer to the truck.

I really like the look of your kitchen.

Anything on this yet? Would be a huge help to have this panel to get some of the crap I have in the frunk to stop rattling around.
