Just installed the 5100s on my Rebel with the Mopar UCAs. Two reasons: increased articulation, digital angle gauge showed 4deg increase over OE, and stock appearance (dealer hassles). Also could not get the UCA bj to release with 5lb sledge to knuckle, then fork. Had to modify my HF bj tool...

Did the 5100 install over the weekend. This thread very helpful...thx to all. Much of the following probably redundant, but here goes. Decided to go with the Mopar lift kit UCAs. Two reasons: 4deg gain of travel over OE UCA (per my digital angle gauge) and stock appearance (no hassles...

Finally got a several day period where didn't need to drive the Rebel. So I leveled the truck with Bilstein 5100s (5th ring) along with Mopar lift kit UCAs. While I had the tires off, blacked out the OE wheels with the TVD decals and black lug nuts. Also installed Bora spacers, 1.25" rear, 1"...

Had my side glass done yesterday. XPEL XR ceramic 70 rear, 35 front. We talked about doing the windshield in the 70, but I'm worried about the effect on the HUD and also using my prescription Maui Jim polarized. He said same thing about the RAM windshield, must take serious precaution with...

Did you notice any effect on the HUD from the windshield ceramic?

Not new to the diesel world, owned a Kubota diesel backhoe for 24yrs. It's the most reliable machine on 4 wheels I've ever owned. One problem in 24yrs, hardened/cracked fuel line. Not real good for trips to town or freeway driving however, so decided to buy a diesel better suited for...

Changing themes in mine (Rebel) doesn't change the cluster backlighting on the two main gauges.

I've seen a couple pix on here of 5th gen instrument clusters with blue backlighting. Searching a bit, seems that only comes with the Limited. Has anyone had their cluster out and removed the plastic rear cover to check/change the cluster dial backlights?

Stock tires on my new Rebel are bigger/heavier than anything else I've dealt with before. Needed something to help my aging back deal with them. Browsed the interweb and put a tire lift idea together using scrap metal, plus a couple rollers off Amazon, with an older HF floor jack. Parts: a...

We're kinda a mopar family, more so now that I've replaced a Tundra with a Rebel. My 70 Roadrunner and daughter's 69 RT.

Decided to add red RAM grille decals and finally got around to darkening the skidplate. Used Rustoleum Pro Undercoating, 1 1/2 cans. Very happy with results, good match to bumper/grille. Removed the tow hooks to coat the skidplate and coated them with Rustoleum red peel coat. Before After

Shift linkage, Not off your truck

Interesting. When I purchased from Auburn CDJR/Olson in April, asked about shipping and Phillip simply gave me the phone number of his goto shipper. Few weeks later, called his contact and the guy didn't do west coast runs anymore. He referred me to a guy based in Seattle. Did a Uship bid...

As to tire road noise, first trip with my Rebel was a 1200mi drive from the dealer (Auburn WA) to SOCAL. The Rebel was quieter, conspicuously so, than my 2014 Tundra 1794 which in itself was very quiet. I can hear the diesel during acceleration, but at cruising speeds there is no tire noise...

For those with tinted windshields and HUD, did the tinting affect the HUD?

Another SOCAL Bud Clary buyer. Clary and Mark Dodge offers were within a few dollars of each other. I emailed the Clary offer (9K below MSRP, 13K below with incentives) to about 6 dealers around the N San Diego county area. Only 2 responded, both fleet managers who said there was NO WAY the...

Another consideration, when/if you get around to selling/trading, the insurance claim for the minor bumper bender will show up on carfax as an accident. That can be a negotiating benefit for the buyer. DAMHIK. Make sure the aftermarket bumper will accommodate any sensors in the OE bumper. As...

Yea, it's now virtually impossible to schedule an appt...well, at least it seems to be for me. They route you to a "service advisor" automated system that just reroutes you back to their automated processes. If you select "register out of state vehicle" automated system give you list of docs...

Along those lines, here in San Diego area it's tough to find a dealer that will bargain below MSRP, forget invoice. Most don't seem interested in affiliate pricing. There are obviously enough folks that will pay MSRP around here. I shopped the quote I got from Bud Clary to local dealers. Few...

Thought about getting the 2020 SUSB. Probably be 99% applicable to the 2021, don't think they changed much.
