General Purpose Accessory Storage

Now that I've installed the SnapPlate front license plate holder, I finally filled out the EveryAmp review. Here it is. Hope it helps others: Shipped promptly, so the license plate holder arrived well before we picked up the car. Engineered and built VERY precisely to hold the plate very close to the front bumper without scraping. Installation instructions were clear, would have benefited from one more picture showing how to find the center slots in the grille. Grille Depth Adjustment instructions were also clear; with one half-turn adjustment of three screws, the license plate holder fit PERFECTLY in place. Check the EveryAmp web site for photographs of how much their product blocks the front camera image at every setting. After reviewing the photos, I chose the center setting. I find the camera interference at that setting is trivial for me. There's a lot of competition for the front-of-R1 real estate. My understanding is that Rivian's front plate holder requires drilling a hole in a perfectly good vehicle, and can also block a small part of the camera image. Tow hook mounts take a tow hook out of commission, and can block a sensor. EveryAmp's mount is designed to protect the grille by snapping off when attacked by a car-wash brush, so you have to dismount it (relatively easy to do) and remount it before washing. I'm still happy with the EveryAmp product, which we have installed in our R1S and now R1T. Very best wishes!

I love all of the new accessories that are being created Rivian and shared by fellow owners.

That said, why would I buy a unitasker (an accessory that is only good for one purpose) when I can use a more general approach with a multitasking storage accessory?

Several years ago I put short or long runs of Rubbermaid FastTrack rail system on 3 garage walls. I hang yard tools, hoses, ladders and more from them.

While I do a bit of cleaning and free up space on another wall FastTrack for my Rivian cargo bars, they are hanging on top of my my least used ladder.

Great thing about this system is I can move things like the cargo bars to another location temporarily or permanently and just rearrange lots of things, without having a unitasker that’s only good for one thing.

(“Unitasker” is a term I first heard on one of Alton Brown’s shows)
