I have previously used the streaming capability back when it first came out as well as the hotspot since before Connect+ was a thing. I am trying to get the streaming working again but it seems to have been hidden fully behind the paywall. (Not looking to argue the merits of that system here) I recall after Connect+ came out being able to still use the Hotspot while tethering with my phone, and losing it isn't a big deal other than needing to update my wife's wifi, but I think I remember needing to be on the Hotspot to do casting. My question is, did Rivian remove both of these features to fully behind the connect+ paywall? I thought that if you used phone tethering or if you were connected to WIFI you could use most all of the usual streaming like features of the Rivian? If anyone can recommend how to stream while using tethering I'm sure myself and others without Connect+ would appreciate it.

This is not an installation guide, as BuiltRight has good guides and great videos to explain the install process.

Last week I installed the cab side Molle system. On Sunday, I installed the MAXTRAX mounts and the bedside Molle system

The MAXTRAX can be a little tricky to install, it’s all about getting the right slot with the right mounting feature hole. Watch their video for tips.

After finishing that, it was a race against the sun, which was now starting to poke around the tree that was sheltering me!

The Bedside Molle racks were even easier to install, as I could do it standing up outside the bed. Try that with a CyberTruck!

I recently received a small gift from work of a RAINS waterproof duffle. It turns out that with a bit of work I can make both my Rivian recovery kit as well as my Voodoo kinetic rope fit into the bag. I figure it’s a perfect way to store them both in my garage as well as when taking them out in the dirt. Keeps them together and out of any moisture if I decide to strap them onto one side of the bed while off-roading.
