I bought an R1T back in December. FWIW, I've had winches on my last 2 vehicles that never got used. I've found MaxTrax and a shovel to be way more useful. Over time I keep getting rid of gear and equipment that I don't use (see Hi-Lift). So while it would be nice if Rivian released an...

I also think it's safe to say that Rivian with the R1T/S, Rivian is targeting more of the Land Rover market, not the F150 market (although there's certainly some cross-over in price points these days - pickups have gotten expensive). The R1T/S is a halo vehicle and they'll offer vehicles at...

My Landcruiser gets about 11-12 mpg. My assumption based on the EPA estimates is that a stock Rubicon does significantly better than that.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm curious to see the MPG rating on the diesel engine when it gets released. I like my 100-series and I've had some great adventures with it. At the time I bought it (used) I think it was the best option on the market. But if I didn't own it already, and was...

I'm considering selling my '06 LX470 and buying a new JLUR. I've got about 153k miles on the cruiser. It seems like a stock Rubicon is about as or more capable that my built LX470 (slee front/rear + lift + 33s, winch, comms, etc). I don't do any serious wheeling, but I like being able to run...

That's a very slick antenna mount. Who makes it?

It's just the standard black color you get at home depot.

The biggest battery with no modification is the Northstar Group 27F AGM. Batteries Plus sells it under their X2 Power brand. It's a 91AH battery. To get anything bigger, you've got to go to a Group 31, which requires a new battery tray and probably only nets you about an extra 10% capacity...
