The Interroblog: Rivian Gear Mods, Shop Experiments, and Half-Baked Ideas
This is where we document the experiments, updates, field
tests, and occasionally poor decisions that shape our gear. Expect a mix of
product development insights, customer builds, and weird science from the
Interrobang team. It’s part dev diary, part shop talk, and occasionally useful.
Interroblog?!
We headed to Silver Lake Sand Dunes with the Buckeye State Rivian Club for a weekend of Rivians, sand, campground conversations, and just enough Michigan weather to keep things interesting. There were R1Ts, R1Ss, an R2, a few rounds of Bingo, and so much sand left in Bill’s R1T that it may now qualify as a geological exhibit.
L Track, T Track, and aluminum extrusions may look similar, but each solves a different problem. We take a look at how these track systems are used for cargo management, shop tools, and prototyping, plus why L Track found its way onto our Tunnel Tray.
A Rivian R1T owner needed help installing their Interrobang manual tonneau cover just as dinner was hitting the grill. Here's how one install question turned into a conversation about tacos.
Building great Rivian accessories also means finding products that deserve a place beside them. Here's what we've added to the shop and why.
Not every scratch sends a product back to the drawing board. Sometimes a Tunnel Tray comes through production with a cosmetic flaw that doesn't affect performance one bit. This is the story of how we decide between rebuilding a product and turning it into B Stock.
We gave a couple a tour of our old Akron workshop, talked truck storage, and accidentally held a live product demo in the parking lot.
