I really liked the Geolanders, for the most part; great grip even in wet conditions and performed very well for off-roading including some moderate rock crawling. Loved the looks too. But like most heavy MTs, they started to get loud after getting some miles on them and became more intrusive on...

Thanks again. The new owner got a screaming deal. Put over $70K into the build but discounted it to account for 3.5-years of depreciation and some wear and tear to around $60K. Dropped the price a little to garner some initial interest which worked nicely. The new owner is a young lieutenant...

Not really a diesel guy although they do have some obvious pros (and cons). Diesel swap on these are extremely expensive (relative to a LS swap), but a lot of guys are getting into them. Having said that, a diesel swap is on my list of potential options as well as a V8. Mine is a '95 with the...

Well, this is the end of the road for me as my Ram has a new owner. I am getting a brand-new company truck and don't need two. So for my four-wheeling adventures, I am going to finish building up my old Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series. This will not be the last time you'll see me as the new owner...

Thank you...glad you for following along!

@stancedeuros; my apologies as I did not catch your question earlier! I went with Cali Raised Vehicle Accessory 8 Switch Control System (Blue Backlighting).

Updated pics with new lights! ...and a little Moab action thrown in.

And then went to a little place called Moab...

Finally got my full-sized spare tire carrier installed !

@HSKR R/T ...sorry, I didn't see you question earlier! I have brief write up in my build thread if you're interested: Desert Dawg Ram Rebel Build Cheers!

Finally got the Fabtech spare tire carrier mounted in the bed of the Rebel:

Another project completed was the installation of my Rigid Industries ditch lights. I ordred the complete kit with (2) LED pods and wiring harness along with the hood brackets and security kits. Parts included: Rigid Indusrtries Dually-Side Shooter PROfessional Race Output LED pods (DSS PRO...

Fabtech Universal Spare Tire Carrier Finally got around to securing the full-sized +35-inch spare tire carrier in the bed. Having to drill holes (and large ones at that) through the bed of your truck takes some confidence building especially since I wanted to mount the base plate underneath...

Yeah, I really was looking hard at some options but timing is everything. Of course I was only considering top shelf options if I was going to dump the Rebel with all of mods/features I had in it with a focus on off-road capability, so my choices were the current Toyota 4Runner TRD PRO, Bronco...
