    Post your Rebel pics!

    Hey, why still no pictures of Rebels in the snow? Do I need to be the first one this season? ;)

    Handling on wet roads is fantastic comparing to narrow Duratracs! :)

    Tire size increased but speedometer still appears accurate

    Went from 33 to 35, and for some reason 80 mph speed still shows as 80 mph on the dash. Don't understand how it worked, maybe truck calibrated the speedometer using GPS data from time to time. But I will be checking what tire size is set up in the settings, since I need to modify tire pressure...

    Post your Rebel pics!

    My solution was: 1. Bilstein 5100s shocks in the front (2" extra lift) 2. Front wheel well modifications, including the removal of fake small mud flaps and some magic with heat gun and zip ties 3. 1.5" hub-centric wheel spacers (TRX wheels have stud pockets, so no grinding was required) Not an...

    Post your Rebel pics!

    Swapped TRX wheels instead of stock Rebel wheels. +1" of ground clearance, wider stance. TRX tires are way more comfortable on the highway comparing to Duratracs. And I'm not doing unintentional burnout anymore on every uphill traffic light launch when it is raining.

    TRX baby brother

    Thanks man! I've ended up with installing 1.5" spacers and modifying the front wheel wells. No rubbing at all, there is plenty of space there.

    I got some TRX take offs on my Rebel

    Just curious - any updates on this one? Have you installed 3/4 spacers?

    TRX baby brother

    Is using 2" wheel spacers really required to fit these wheels on Rebel, or it is more for the looks? I'm curious if a small spacer like 3/8" will clear the upper control arm, and such small spacer will not kill bearings long term.

    Main question - where you guys are getting TRX wheels from? Are you buying OEM wheels and tires separately, or you were lucky to find used ones on Ebay/Craigslist?

    Rebel

    I've returned two weeks ago from a trip to BC on my Rebel (real Rebel :)), and I saw a lot of RAM 1500 Sport trucks. I was curious what is that, and yes, I've learned that they have RAM 1500 Sport in Canada that we don't have in US, but window sticker says just "RAM 1500 SPORT", Rebel is not...

    Next body style RAM 1500?

    Truck market in 2024 may be very different front now. As for now, Stellantis promises to deliver RAM EV in 2024, and most probably next generation of ICE models will arrive around that time. But for me EV is not only about electric power, but also about technology associated with it. You can do...

    Rebel

    Rebel or not a Rebel - this is not a new member introduction forum, this is Rebel discussion forum. And this is obviously just a Canadian RAM 1500 Sport with a dash from Rebel. Real Rebel has "Rebel" animation on a digital screen, but this one shows "Sport" - so BCM knows it is Sport trim, not...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    I'm curious to see how long two straps will last. I'm doing a lot of offroading and hit a lot of hard bumps, but all good for now. If one strap breaks, the fuel tank will just lay on the frame crossmember and I will notice it. Then I will think about welding a 3rd strap :)

    Rebel front license plate bracket ideas

    Just 2 bolts for a license plate from Amazon, dual-sided duct tape in the bottom and a hammer to bend the license plate so it doesn't stick from the bumper. Drove 2,500 miles like that with no issues. Now I've reached the next bottleneck during off-roading which is the bumper itself. But I...

    Retrofitting the 33 gallon tank

    Just wanted to give an update on the skid plate install after upgrading to 33 gallon tank. First of all, you can leave your existing 23/26 gallon tank skid plate as is, it fits. But it doesn't protect ~30% of the fuel tank. And I was lucky to enough to almost hit the tank in exactly that...

    Minus the reservoir is a serious disadvantage for off roading 😉
