Looking good

The failed drift in the ATV looked pretty hairy. Hope they were alright.

That looks so much fun. These videos and the video from Sandy Munro, also prove how capable the truck is even with the 21s. This kind of seals the deal for me to go back to 21s, get the full range, and spend the extra money on the second set of wheels with dedicated winter tires.

I had the ride in rock crawl which limits the speed. The terrain wasn't really forgiving (mostly hard rock and rock dust) so didn't want to push it too much.

I thought I would buy some aftermarket offroad wheels and tires and now realize how difficult they are to find. So I hope Rivian starts selling the 20" rims soon (or someone starts making compatible rims).

Would love to get some beadlock wheels.

We didn't know the folks in the ATV, but the passenger crushed his hand and was airlifted out.

Ouch. Unfortunately I have seen that happen more than once and now people who have lost fingers that way. (keep your arms inside by any means necessary)

Would love to hear about the, "getting it clean" part of that adventure! Mine has several body seam issues which has me concerned about pressure washing.

Yeah man, that's why most states require side-by-sides have grab handles or wrist restraints!

I haven't given her a proper cleaning yet, just some touchless powerwashing afterwards to get off the most offensive stuff. Created some scratches from trees while rock crawling that I will need to buff out.

Our roads are getting paved this weekend, so I kind of want to wait a few weeks before putting a lot of effort in cleaning, plus it's a truck.

Cleaning the wheel wells is nasty ... There is some aero slots that loved to hold on to mud.
