Post your Rebel pics!

I finally decided to pull the trigger on some wheel/tires. It may just be me, but I couldn't stand the look of the stock wheels any longer (not a fan of the machine finish). I blame this forum for showing me how dope you can make a rebel look haha. I couldn't believe how expensive all the places around me were wanting for Nitto Ridge Grapplers (35x12.5r18). Average selling price was $400-$450 a tire. I randomly checked amazon and they had them for $337 a tire. They just came in and thought I would share. My wheels will be here Tuesday.

I can relate to the stocker comments as well. This forum certainly will inspire you spend way too much money but it sure will look good. Nice choice....I am sure it with be well worth it!
 
These just arrived at my door! I will be sure to post a picture when they are fully installed tomorrow. Cheers.

2021 Night Edition 3.0 Ecodiesel Rebel Black Metallic paint. Equipment Group 2, 33 Gal tank, Rebel 12, Harmon 19 spkr Audio, factory wheel well liners, Panoramic Sunroof, Spray in Bed
Liner, Tyger Running Boards. All options except Air Ride. Sticker was $66k.

Last pic has a 7k weight trailer and 500lbs in the bed, 3 guys in the truck. Obviously a LOT of rear drop in these trucks as others have mentioned when towing. Doesn’t bother me I rarely tow. Just haul stuff couple times a month in the bed.

I am looking at these wheels too (in bronze). What size and offset did you get? If you dont mind sharing where did you order them from and how long it took to receive them.

I am interested in 18x9 et-12mm and understand wheel weights will hit the calipers. Look forward to seeing pictures.

What’s up man. I went with the 18x9 -12 offset. I wanted a tad of a poke. I actually ordered them from Amazon. $270/wheel with free shipping. It took about 4 days to get them. I live in Idaho.

I haven’t heard anything about the wheel weights hitting the calipers. We shall see tomorrow lol.
 
That is what I would like to know
I bought the exact same lights the dude in post #2 did and installed the actual light housings just like he did (except imho he spaced lights too wide, so I only put 2 holes btw lights, not 3 like him). Worked beautiful and hasn’t moved even in rough car wash swiping them. Then I wired them up exactly like the youtube video in post #16. Double fuse tap into the fuse box at the fuel pump fuse location. I used a 5amp fuse for the lights just like he did as well.


So the big trick is routing the wires through the active shutters in the grille. I went all the way down to the bottom under the shutters and then back up. I bought some 16awg red and black wire to route. Also, make sure to either wrap all the wires that are routed in front of active shutters with black electrical tape, or put wires in black flex conduit (from back of each light to point wires go under shutters. The red wires are easy to see coming from lights and looks bad.
I’m usually not a fan of “replicating” other car/truck platforms (especially more capable ones) but man these lights look really damn good. Highly recommended.
 
Canelo Pass, AZ. New Dometic cooler turned out not to be necessary as the truck said 19 degrees this morning. Water lines on the trailer didn't thaw until 11 am! Fun overnighter though.

Off topic but how do you like your solo stove? I've been so close to buying one numerous times.

I LOVE that thing. One of my favorite purchases for camping. The reduction of smoke is a big win for my wife and me. We don't have all of our laundry smell like campfire forever, and I think it's SO much safer than a fire pit. And Perry loves it, too.
