In This video we walk through the installation of the EVBASE running boards for the Rivian R1T. These running boards are a new design, are sturdy, and have some flexibility on the way they are installed. The are the most economical option currently for running boards for both the R1T and the R1S. These running boards make it much easier for you or your passengers to enter or exit the vehicle. You simply step up on the running board and then into the truck...no more having to jump in or slide out due to higher ride height. No more having to wait for air suspension to lower either!
**NOTE: EVBASE provided us with the product at no charge for the purposes of creating this installation video.

Thank you for the video. It greatly helped me out. I received a small bag with 6 larger nuts and bolts that I have no idea where they go. I think I see that bag in your video at 21:22.

[@ElectrifiedOutdoors]

You're very welcome. I received the same and didn't use them.

Did you leave the bottom panels off? If not, what was the process like to reinstall? Do they have to be cut? Can you reinstall some of them without cuting? Thanks for any intel. Peace

[@ElectrifiedOutdoors]

I left them off for a while, but then I reinstalled. I was concerned about rocks hitting the bottom and damaging the ecoating. All panels had to be cut. I lined up each panel and cut slots wide enough to accommodate the mounts and then snapped them back into place.

Any tips to remove the TP55 bolt from the car? I have a Ryobi 18V impacter with 600 lb torque. It won't budge. Stupid question but from under the car looking up, should turn counter-clockwise, correct? I bought a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter to use the TP55 bolt (from your Amazon line). About to throw in the towel and have someone install for me. So frustrating.

[@khua911]

Did you use an Impact driver or Impact wrench? And does it matter?

[@ElectrifiedOutdoors]

Sorry to hear about your frustration. It takes time for the impact to remove it (I had to hold it in for several seconds before the bolts will start to move). I used a Kobalt 24v with 650 lb torque. You probably already did but make sure the battery in your impact is fully charged. Counter clockwise is correct to loosen (they aren't reverse thread). Here is the impact that I used in the video amzn.to/4cRyeyH . There are good installers out there too if you choose to go that route.
