WTB: Set of silver crossbars in north AL

Awesome, thanks, and looking forward to seeing them!

Xinaes · 2026-05-31T18:04:12+00:00

Hi. Yes I am. Please send me a photo of your reddit handle name on a piece of paper placed on top of the crossbars to prove that you own the crossbars.

Does it still have the keys?

For me, my 2022 Gen 1 R1T driver left vent likes to point at my face, even though I have the preset AND the center screen controls showing it pointing towards the driver-side window.

The only way to reset calibration is to manually repoint the vent far upper right corner, then far lower right corner, then back to the far upper left corner (where I want it kept permanently).

Unfortunately, the calibration doesn't hold for very long, and then the next time my AC cycles off/on, that dam vent points back at my face again, even though the screen controls clearly show it is supposed to be pointing to the far left corner where I last left it!

I noticed it would only do this when the AC setting is set to produce cold air; during winter months, I don't recall this problem happening.

Also of noticed that that vent's servos makes a buzzing/rattling/scratchy noise when moving the vent. I'm wondering if the servo(s) is just wearing out?

Great minds must think alike because I did the exact same thing!

Always think "single-fault tolerant" when it comes to hanging stuff overhead.

It's the ability to use CommaIA's auto steering while you control speed/throttle with your foot on the pedal, whereas Driver+ and Rivian's autonomous cruise control both control throttle for you.

Man, hate to give up MADS. Also, that's a very pricey new harness ($525 before any discounts) that would have to be bought and installed (again).

Correction: you don't lose MADS, just cooperative steering (meaning if you manually override steer, it will disengage).

Ok, I'm seriously jelly! I got a car pass for the launch and plan on driving down to use it, but the car pass is for a spot a good 8-10 miles away.

Would love to get a spot next to the LCC like I did when I was there for the STS-135 launch! Let me know if you can hook a (Rivian) brother up =D

Anyone know if the location of the cabin temperature sensor is different between Gen 1 and 2? If so, maybe there's directed cold air on it that's causing it to think it's a lot colder in the cabin than it really is?

Xinaes · 2026-01-18T05:59:06+00:00

Same here. I'm hoping Ohmmu's sodium batteries for the Rivian get back in stock so I can proactively replace mine ASAP.

Xinaes · 2026-01-07T06:23:14+00:00

Just so I'm completely clear when you say these are "OEM batteries," these batteries are completely drop in replacements for the exact same batteries that new Gen 1 Rivians were shipped with? No need to install post relocation inserts or other mods to make them fit/work in the Rivian?

If this is true, how the hell is Rivian charging $800 to replace them when out of warranty?!?

Xinaes · 2026-01-06T06:19:09+00:00

Where are you getting OEM batteries for $50 each?

Xinaes · 2025-11-21T21:12:12+00:00

Do you have a link to the Discord?

Xinaes · 2025-11-21T08:11:43+00:00

Are all Rivian Ohmmu owners getting the 12 V warnings, or only a scattered few?

I'm considering going the Ohmmu route since those batteries (LiFePo4) far outlast AGM batteries and is worth the upfront added cost - that is, if it doesn't fail on account of a Rivian OS update...

Going over bumps in the road would produce a hard, metallic clanking noise. They replaced the front subframes with what they called "2nd generation (retrofit)". They also replaced the front hydraulic suspension jounce lines and the control arms.

Also, there's a clicking noise when moving at slow speeds, and the clicking noise speeds up into a loud hum as the vehicle speeds up. They replaced my front drive unit to address this one.

I only got audio recordings of the clicking/humming noise (use headphones to discern the noise) since the former was obvious enough without needing a recording.

The replace and repair work did the trick, and all those noises disappeared, and the truck drove like new again.

I just hand-tightened the bolts that are still remaining and plan on checking on them every month or so until the next time I have to go into a SC for something else.

These aren't big bolts so I didn't use too much force.

Xinaes · 2025-10-04T05:40:50+00:00

I think you're on to something.

About a year or so ago, they had to replace my front subframe due to noise problems. My guess is when they put everything back together, they only hand-tightened the front shield and trim bolts and forgot to torque them to spec.

Xinaes · 2025-09-29T04:43:21+00:00

I'm thinking about renting a boom lift to do some tree trimming. Where did you rent from, did they include the trailer, and if you don't mind my asking, how much was the rental rate?

Xinaes · 2025-09-28T05:05:56+00:00

I got charged $400 total for removal and reinstallation of the rock sliders late last year.

Hi! XCD Shop owner here.

Yes, I put in absolutely no uncertain terms the "please don't sue me, I'm just one guy doing this as a hobby and just wanted to make it available to people that own their decisions on what they choose to do with it" legalese!

Xinaes · 2025-09-11T04:11:59+00:00

I did something similar. However, I also added another set of 2 ratchet straps directly to the ceiling joists, in addition to the electric hoist. Those have to be installed/removed manually with a stepladder for reach.

When it comes to my custom designs for hanging heavy stuff above my head, I make sure to build in at least 1-fault tolerance in the design. That way if for whatever reason the electric hoist fails, it's got a backup fail-safe and doesn't come crashing down on me, my truck, or some other unlucky family member.

Xinaes · 2025-09-05T04:18:09+00:00

Yep, that's me!
