    Launch edition TRX parked by my house yesterday

    Talk about unimpressive. I’m sure the powers intoxicating, but man it sure doesn’t have much of a wow factor. Unless they were side-by-side, I don’t know that the average person could differentiate it from a regular Rebel. Not that it really matters, I can’t afford it anyway 😂 When I strike...

    Went wheeling - got winched out - I need sliders!

Put it in 4 low, hooked up to my father in laws Jeep and he slowly pulled me out. Then went and continued on some trails...

    Anybody wish they had bought a different vehicle?

    In some ways I wish I had bought a nice new Rubicon Unlimited. I built went out with every option I would want. They really fully loaded one. Beautiful blue color with a tan seats. All sorts of great options. MSRP was close to $10,000 cheaper than a Rebel. Now obviously they are really two...

    Removing tow hooks without removing skid plate?

    Planned on painting my tow hooks today. Cannot get the second bolt out. It is on there TIGHT. I don’t have the correct 3/4“ breaker bar at the moment. Good excuse to buy a new tool! For those of you that have removed them, did you drop the skid plate? Trying to avoid that. Or did a breaker bar...

    Antwon412s semi-overland Rebel build. PIC HEAVY!

    Just getting started. Bought it about 6 months ago. Love it. Came from a 2006 Tundra crew cab. Good truck. Was tempted to build it out, but it was 2wd. And honestly, it felt like driving a car. I want my truck to feel like a truck. There are some other little odds and ends in there, but here is...

    Best site to order OEM parts

    After screwing around with Etsy I’m going to go ahead and bite the bullet and buy the factory ram rebel bedside decals/graphics. I want to want to come pre-cut, ready to install.

    Hitch mount bed step?

    Anybody have any experience with one of these? Seems like it might be a nice option. Cheaper than the Undermount, pull out bed stop by far. Obviously wouldn’t work with the tailgate down, it would be nice to step up on if you’re reaching over into the back of the truck...

    With the new Hydro Blue coming out, a nice tan interior would great

    On the Challengers & Chargers the B5 blue over Sepia (tan/brown) interior is a great combo. I’d love that in a Rebel. Or a light grey interior. something besides all black. And the red/black wouldn’t look great with the blue paint. I can hope. Looking to get a new a Rebel very soon. Sure...

    Will plants shut down due to Covid-19?

    I couldn’t find a truck the way I wanted it locally or semi-locally so I have been thinking of special ordering one from the dealer to my specifications.
