Why Choose EVBASE Running Boards+Armors Protect Panels for 2025 Rivian ?

Finally! EVBASE has engineered an innovative armors protect panels for precision fitting your Rivian running board. Some users distressed that they had to remove the factory rock slider armor to install certain running board products. With a strong emphasis on users experience, EVBASE bring the the following properly compatible solutions for your modification needs while preserving Rivian's original design.

 Preserving Advanced Material

We place a strong emphasis on preserving the factory rock slider armor, a crucial component of Rivian’s underbody protection system, it made from polypropylene material featuring lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and highly impact-resistant. True to this standard, from the moment EVBASE engineering team disassembled the first factory rock slider armor, our development team spent three months rigorously testing materials. After extensive comparisons, EVBASE engineer selected a modified polypropylene resin to ensure our new armors protect panels meets the same standards in deformation resistance, temperature tolerance (-22°F to 248°F), and sustainability. 

Millimeter-Perfect  

Proudly Engineering.Using 3D laser scanning technology, we digitally reconstructed the armors protect panels with 0.1mm precision. To accommodate step board installations, we redesigned the mounting points while ensuring a perfect fit with Rivian’s underbody. EVBASE engineering team collected on-site measurement data in the U.S. on the Rivian R1S-2025 underbody, developing a solution that utilizes the factory bolt system. This eliminates the need for additional drilling and enables a quick, one-person installation. Attention to detail is paramount!

Great product. Easy to install; must have an impact wrench.

Look good

Look good! My husband easily put them on himself . I think he watched a YouTube video first. They make getting in and out of the Rivian much easier for me. They do stick out a bit, so be mindful of that, or you’ll have some bruised shins!
Much better price than others.

R1T running board/side step product and installation

The quality of the steps is great. Heavy duty and fits from wheel to wheel very nicely. I originally purchased another brand and, although they looked nice, they were about 15 inches short of running within inches of each wheel well. I returned them and purchased these. Installation instructions were fairly good but some improvement can be made by providing clearer pictures and a bit more detail in actual instructions. I would have also liked some instructions on how to remove and cut the under panels so they could be replaced after installing the rail braces. Very happy with the product though.

Great running boards

These have been great. My wife is short, and with low back pain it has been difficult for her to get into our R1T even in kneel mode. My only issue is I broke one of the plates that holds the running board in place because there were no torque specs for the bolts, and I over tightened one of them. However, they were great to work with on getting a replacement. I haven't seen it yet, but they said it's on its way.

Best-value running boards on the market

Installed on my 2025 R1T. The bracket design is simpler compared to the Gen 1 and relies only on a single T55 bolt to secure each one to the vehicle frame. For that reason each bracket on the driver-side tends to angled slightly toward the back on the car after the bolt is tightened, while the passenger side brackets are slightly angled toward the front. For the Gen 1 the design uses two screws to mount each bracket to the frame. However, I think for Gen 2 a single-screw mounting scheme may see the least compatibility issues as I've read Rivian changed at least once the location of the other screws except for the main T55 bolts, which caused some compatibility issues with some early Gen 2 running board brackets from another vendor. So while the EVBase bracket design is less than optimal it may not have any compatibility concerns. And while all brackets are not perfectly perpendicular to the sides of the frame the running board mounting slots provide enough space to hide that imperfection. I will know how EVBase's simpler design holds up in the long run. For now I think this product provides the best value on the market if you want to save some money for other upgrades.

First by saying EV Base has the best customer service. They helped throughout the whole process of installation and shipping. We were having problems with the shipping and they found a way for me to get the product before I was set out for my deployment. This company is AMAZING!!!!!
