Getting to see my truck. Bugging Rivian about when I get that truck. Redoing my electrical to accommodate my new battery with a functional truck shaped battery enclosure.
Are you going to use the HIS, or doing a transfer switch?

I am (Platinum) stuck in Junction Point…. Salem, Illinois for a couple weeks. Waiting to get off of Canadian Rail onto a UP train to San Antonio. Have a 10/3 build week Mach -E GT PE that will probably be built, ship, and arrive first!
Did they give you a UP rail car number?

Mine went from Blue Island, IL to Houston via BNSF. I thought BNSF handled our region, but I'm no @Yellow Buddy

No. Was apparently still on Canadian waiting to get on a UP.

Free is better any day. Just trying to figure out what was different since Linda Z said the running boards were specifically designed for the lightning. It sounds like it’s just that flat vs rounded bottom.

Hate to break it to you, but your Pro is going to be 0.0002% less efficient than mine.
It has the vertical air dam to close the open gap between bottom of truck and top of running board.

What does TC do with all the stuff they remove like the wheel set from the Lightning mannequin they leveled and put the Rhino wheels on?
Typically we give them to who purchases the vehicle if it is a stock unit. For customer's unit they tell us what to do with them.
The Lariat wheels and tires from the video are going to the customer who will purchase it if they want them.
We have sold( basically given away) 15-20 sets Bronco/Bronco Sport Wheels and tires. Running boards usually end up in the warehouse until someone comes asking for them.

BTW I don’t know if it’s madness or genius but @Yellow Buddy speed dial for CSX is dead nuts on!

Currently enroute to Louisville, KY.
Yeah but he waited until my truck was basically at my dealership before he shared that shortcut. It never even crossed my mind it could be done.

It’s neither. It’s laziness. I will go to great lengths to be lazy, even if it ends up being more work.
