DIY Rivian Mud Flap Install – Fast Upgrade for Long-Term Protection
Driving a Rivian R1T or R1S means you’re often venturing beyond smooth city roads: gravel, mud, snow, and standing water are all part of the experience. Without proper protection, road debris kicked up by your tires can easily scratch the paint, dirty the side panels, or even cause long-term damage to your wheel wells.
That’s where mud flaps come in. Designed to block mud, stones, and slush from splashing onto your vehicle, they’re one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your Rivian cleaner and better protected, especially if you regularly drive in rough weather or off-road conditions.
We’ll cover why mud flaps are worth installing, how easy the process is, and what kind of protection they offer in real-world driving. Whether you're preparing for your next trail run or just want to reduce the mess after a rainy day, the guide will help you make an informed upgrade.

Protect Your Rivian's Underbody: The Importance of Jack Pads for Safe Lifting
As the Rivian R1T and R1S continue to gain popularity among off-road enthusiasts and city drivers alike, many owners are becoming more attentive to vehicle maintenance and safety. One essential yet often overlooked accessory is the jack pad, a must-have for safe and damage-free vehicle lifting.Rivian vehicles do not come with jack pucks. This presents a real challenge—you cannot rotate, change, or install new tires without a set of jack pucks, as Rivian does not include a complete tool kit for these basic tasks.The only alternative involves removing four sets of underbody panels and associated hardware to access the frame rails directly—an option most shops avoid due to the risk of damaging plastic components or misplacing hardware.There was no practical way to safely lift the vehicle using Rivian’s recommended jack points without first removing sections of the underbody paneling—something that felt both impractical and unnecessary for routine maintenance.
