Not a big fan of the black tailgate letters, the chrome letters are hideous. I originally tried a red overlay on the letters but they clashed a bit with the flame red. Tried these red outlines and like them much better.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'll defend the Rebel red accent interior/dash, one of the reasons I ordered a Rebel. Breaks up the blah of a standard, monotone interior. Of course, there are many who like the standard interior I'm certain. Each to his own. Mine with a carbon fiber...

Contacted two dealers last week. One said they'd put me on a "2-3 month waiting list". The other said they'd have to "order the parts" and will contact me when the parts arrive. In neither case am I holding my breath.

I've used your tube vids as reference for several mods to my 21 Rebel - thx! So I must ask, after all your mods why search for a new truck?

My oil change intervals have always been 5K. Served me well through modern trucks and older mopars as well. Given the emphasis on fuel quality in the EDs, decided to change the fuel filter at every other oil change, 10K intervals, which I guess is now the new HPFP spec. Just finished 2nd fuel...

I guess the question remains, does this 012 013 replacement remedy the round cups design?

Went through this about a year ago, ended up paying about 400. There are several ebay folks in China that sell the carbon fiber wheels. I believe Zen, and everyone else gets their wheels from the same Chinese factory. The China guys sell at about 1/2 price of the US sellers, same product...

Yup. Last truck was 2014 Tundra. Went 7yrs on OE battery, guess I was spoiled.

Definitely vinyl overlays, pretty common as noted. Did them on my Rebel, but the vinyl red was a different red hue and, IMO, clashed a bit with the Flame red. Replaced them with carbon/red outline vinyls. Like the look much better.

Similar symptoms as OP last week. Replaced OE battery with Walmart Everstart Platinum H8. Everything back to normal.

Had wally check it with their battery tester. Before install ran it on my Noco Genius which confirmed good charge. Another thing should have mentioned...wally had 3 H8 Platinums, 2 dated Oct23 and one Dec23. They tried to sell me one of the Oct23s of course, but I insisted on the Dec23...

Rebel now at about 2.5yr mark, started noticing labored startup. Checked OE battery, 11.5v with engine off. Tried an overnight charge, no change. Called dealer, 2 weeks out for appt. Screw it, picked up Evercharge Platinum H8 at wallymart, 4yr free replacement. When I swapped batteries...

Thx for that video. Forwarded to #1 daughter who is considering an EV. She'll do what she'll do, but best to be armed with the total spectrum of pros/cons, beyond the government save the planet hype.

Is that a custom mount or purchased?

Did the Bracketeer kit include the rubber straps or are those part of the cradle for the extinguisher?
