New Member: 2021 RAM 1500 Rebel Night Edition (Michigan)

[detroitm2]

Hey all, new member from SE Michigan here. Just grabbed a 2021 Ram Rebel in Granite 2-tone. Should be delivered tomorrow, excited to join the community! I don't have any current photos since I haven't take delivery yet, but I included a few from the dealership's website for reference. The truck is being detailed and having both exhaust manifolds replaced under warranty before I take delivery as some added insurance.

As with all of my vehicles, I never leave them alone. My previous project car, a 2018 BMW M2, was fairly heavily modified, and I doubt the RAM Rebel will be any different.

Options:

• Comfort and Convenience Group
• Bed Utility Group
• Night Edition
• Rebel 12
• Rebel Level 2 Equip. Group
• 5.7L Hemi
• Power Trailer-Tow Mirrors
• Panoramic Sunroof
• Side Graphics
• Side Steps
• Rear Wheelhouse Liners
• Multifuction tailgate
• Air suspension
• Trailer Brake Controller
• Spray-in Bedliner
• Mopar Tonneau Cover

Mods Incoming:

• BakFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover
• Right On Bracket Replacement Bracket Kit
• Tyger Star Armor Running Boards
• Revel Links + Daystar Leveling kit
• RCI Offroad Skid plates (full set + cat guards)
• Oracle Front Bumper Flush Mount LED Light Bar
• Oracle Mirror Mount Ditch Lights (Curious if these are going to fit with my tow mirrors)
• LasFit Heavy Duty 8-Gang Light Controller
• SKT Customs Center Console Switch Panel Controller Mount + Cup Holder
• Vice Design Engine Bay Switch Panel Mount
• Proclip Phone Mount

Welcome. Nice looking rig. I like your planned mods. Giving me some more ideas for mine. lol.

 

[detroitm2]

Shes here!


Also, Half the skid plates, the proclip phone mount, bed replacement brackets, and running boards were delivered. Rest of the skids should be here next week along with most of the other stuff. The Tonneau cover may take a bit, my distributor is targeting early May.

Welcome to the forum . Nice looking truck .

I can confer . . . the BakFlip MX4 Tonneau Cover is a nice one! They market it under REV for some other auto makers.
the only thing I wish they had made better was where the cover props up to leave it open, the slots for the props are plastic, and really don't fit in the channels very good. Probably not an issue yet, as no one probably drives around with the top folded up all the time.

Congrats and welcome! I'm still new here too, just got mine about 6 weeks ago.

Decided to return the Tyger Armor side steps. It looks like they sit about as high as the oem and my wife doesn't like stepping that high. Ordered a set of AMP power steps instead. They should give a better step height for her.

Fortunately I bought the Tyger steps on Amazon so return was super easy.

Congrats. Thinking about skid plates myself. Not sure how hard instal would be.

I watched the videos, seems pretty straight forward. But I'm fairly mechanically inclined and have access to a lift.

 

[RumRam]

Yeah, I guess a lift would help a little.
Truck looks great. Besides skid plate mod in the future, I’ve added grill light bar and rear LED backup lights to list. Seems like my list gets longer and longer the more I read these forums.

Oracle lights and SKT Customs Center Console arrived today. Waiting for more parts before i start installing. Mainly I want all of the lighting gear (with the lasfit controller) before I start. I'll probably get to it this weekend, by then my power steps should be here as well and I can do all the electrical stuff in 1 day.
