    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Well, after posting some pics for yesterday, woke up today to a completely dead battery on my 2020 Ram with only 6400 miles. Now I am stuck up in Ouray, CO which is small mountain town with no FCA dealerships anywhere and 300 miles from home. The Ram is completely dead...nothing comes on. Tried...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Attended an unexpected Mopar meet while in Ouray, CO for the weekend! Of course, the real star of the meet that got all of the attention...lol.

    Power steps and river crossings.

    I have had my power steps through small river crossings that submerged the motors on a few of my past builds with no issues at all.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    lol...nothing so cool, unfortunately. Was out at dusk bopping around in the desert and went over a rise that hid a nice drop off. I hit some hard pack at the bottom. Now I am thinking I need to upgrade the suspension some more...lol.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Not today but very recently when I took the Ram out for a romp in the desert at dusk...lol.

    Desert Dawg Ram Rebel Build

    My work and travel schedule has been insane for the past few months so I have not been able to really focus on getting anything done with my current build. However, I did manage to take a day off a couple of weeks back and took the Rebel out for a quick desert romp. In turn, I manage to make an...

    Looking for Lift/Suspension Advice

    Yes, the kit won't fit with the factory wheel backspacing.

    Desert Dawg Ram Rebel Build

    No, not at all. The Fabtech supplied control arms are fine for the most part as they are a bit more stout over the factory arms; they did get the front geometry almost near factory but definitely could be closer if they were adjustable. They do provide for more down travel but I feel they are...

    Roaming Lost - 2020 Ram Rebel EcoDiesel

    Great upgrade! I ran Total Chaos previously as well on my Tundra build. They can get quite noisy at times but performed great!

    Post your Rebel pics!

    Congrats on the new truck and welcome to the forum! Even better to see another brother from NM...lol!

    Desert Dawg Ram Rebel Build

    Thanks! I do think the LT285/75R18s will fit under the lift if you go with the 18x8.5-0MM wheel; if anything, you might have to tweak the front coil-overs a tad more for full-lock clearance but I would be surprised if that was the case.

    Desert Dawg Ram Rebel Build

    Thanks! No, most of the rattling is all the junk in the bed bouncing around (gear, coolers, straps, chairs, etc.). I still don't have a good tie down system installed yet. I might get a minor squeak here and there but nothing like that when empty...lol.

    New tires on the rebel. 297/70/18

    Based on the Nitto website, the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in LT295/70R18 size is 69.44 lbs per tire. If you compare to the factory spec'd Duratrac with LT275/70R18 listed at 55 lbs per tire, the up size results in +14.4 lbs per tire or almost 60 lbs of total additional rolling mass (before wheels)...

    New Owner 2021 Ram 1500 Limited in Pacific Northwest

    Congrats on the new rig and welcome to the Forum! I might have some interest for you on tonneau covers in my build thread (see sig below); scroll down to list in the first post to get link. As far as dog slobber, I have no suggestions for you since my Red Heeler doesn't slobber at all (just...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Great build! I think you'll like the B2 exhaust! I never made a sound video of the B2 after I installed it, but did just post a short video in my build thread showing my kid playing with the Rebel out on some dunes; gives a taste of the sound under some throttle at distance.
