    2020 Rebel - Stock Rear Shocks - Missing Remote Res!!!???

    It might not be an FCA thing either... Bilstein could have pulled the plug on manufacturing them... just saying. Rebels with Air Ride didn't get the shocks with the reservoir in 2019, so it's possible that it's a parts consolidation, retiring an assembly line, etc. What I do think is BS is not...

    Shifts and Grins Fabrication 2019 Rebel Build Thread

    This thread is great... seeing an accessory much needed by the community come to life. Love it.

    Anyone got light bars/pods/etc?

    Thanks! Great to know.

    Anyone got light bars/pods/etc?

    This was probably answered in another thread somewhere, but when you had the light behind the mesh... did you notice any pattern or distortion on the ground? The only reason I hesitate to do a light bar behind the mesh is for that reason as I know that would give me eye strain. Truck looks...

    Head Ache rack LED lightbar

    The guys at TFL put lights on their rack and it seemed to work for them. I'm sure you'll need to close the shade on your sunroof when your lights are on tho...

    Overheating the 4x4 system

    I believe both T-Case's use clutches... that's how you get shift on the fly into 4WD. The big difference is 4-Auto in the 48-11, which progressively varies power transfer to front and rear wheels depending on traction demands, creating a lot more wear and heat on the clutch... particularly...

    Into a 2020 Ram Rebel from a 2014 (4th gen) Ram 1500 Sport

    I won't speak for our Canadian friends, but here in New England the Duratracs are great in the sloppy snow we get locally. NOTE: they aren't snow rated with the "three peak" symbol that other Duratracs are. Not sure if there's an actual difference or if Goodyear simply didn't pay to have the...

    TRX Ramp Video

    Dan Edmunds did a video on the TRX in his driveway. He put it on a ramp to show how much flex there was in the suspension. It's pretty impressive and a nice breakdown of the differences between a normal Ram 1500 suspension and what went into the TRX. Just thought I'd share if no one's seen this.

    Stock 20” rims for off roading/Mopar lift with 3.21

    Having more sidewall is always advisable for offroading, and there are plenty of 18 inch rims that fit... including ones from Ram themselves. Most Rebel owners with aftermarket wheels are still riding on 18's. You should be fine with the 3.21 rear end, but there might be some performance loss...

    Anyone locate the transmission breather tube?

    Interesting. So do you think that's a one way valve of some kind?

    Post your avg MPG on your Rebel

    I personally noted improved mileage at about 10K miles that I can't attribute to anything else. Nothing crazy, but around 1 mpg on average and seeing 20 mpg on some trips. Your second point is dead right. My guess is around 2000 RPM the engine becomes extra thirsty, which is about 73 MPH on...

    35" tires on leveling kit

    Now that you mention it, I remember your posts on the UCA. I intend to follow suit someday. Thanks!

    35" tires on leveling kit

    As above X2 - I'm assuming you're in OR1 because it's a Rebel. Also, did you upgrade the UCA's when you the links and spacers were installed? Great looking truck.

    Post your Rebel pics!

    Just read this thread... I always thought this would be possible and I'm very glad to see it actually works. Great job and thanks for putting up your experience. Definitely doing this in the future. (y)

    RMT Overland

    It looks like RMT builds complete vehicles and doesn't part out... which is unfortunate. They probably have an exclusive contract of some kind with whoever makes the bumper. It's looks pretty sweet,

    35s for stock 2019 rims?

    Your rims help with fitment? -12 offset of there abouts?

    35s for stock 2019 rims?

    Not yet... also sounds like 35's might be a touch too big. Might be ok... might not... from what I've read so far without a level or lift. I'm going to wait until next summer at least, and then make a move. Revel links, Daystar spacers, Mopar UCA's, rims and tires. If I'm completely honest...

    Adding extra weight to the truck - need some advice

    I think there are small heat shields that are removed to allow the 35 to fit... I read it on this site somewhere. Just and idea to save weight. Good luck.
