How are the radar renegade tires holding up? How's the tread wear over time
So far so good. The road noise is not much louder than the stock Duratracs. The truck handles and drives better than stock with the new setup. I only have about 1K miles on them so time will tell about wear.

Swapped TRX wheels instead of stock Rebel wheels. +1" of ground clearance, wider stance. TRX tires are way more comfortable on the highway comparing to Duratracs. And I'm not doing unintentional burnout anymore on every uphill traffic light launch when it is raining.

i know for a fact it's already been stated elsewhere on this forum. i'm going to ask before anyone else does (i'm also lazy...sue me). anything extra needed to fit the TRX wheels and tires?

ALSO, it looks great!

My solution was:
1. Bilstein 5100s shocks in the front (2" extra lift)
2. Front wheel well modifications, including the removal of fake small mud flaps and some magic with heat gun and zip ties
3. 1.5" hub-centric wheel spacers (TRX wheels have stud pockets, so no grinding was required)

Not an easy swap, but pretty much doable. Thanks!

I‘ve got an AFE intake on my truck too. Super easy install and I did notice some nice differences. I've got an exhaust cutout on my truck so when it’s closed (stock sound) I can majorly hear the difference, especially when you hit higher RPMs where the intake sound is deep and loud. I think my throttle response got a bit better and it feels quicker (I think it promised +26hp?). I have a heavy foot so I can’t tell you about mpg gains though.

My one complaint which doesn't bother me as much anymore is when the throttle body is open, whether on full acceleration or just a tap, there is this high pitched almost whistle which sounded like a leak at first but I think it sounds cool now.

did the whistle ever get better? I just installed an afe magnum and it sounds amazing at full throttle. At slow throttle I get the whistle that’s like a soft air leak. It’s not bad but wish it wasn’t there compared to how good it sounds at full blast

My 2022 Rebel Night Edition finally arrived to the dealership Monday evening. I had them deliver it me last night, so I haven't taken any better quality photos yet. In the meantime, here are a few that the dealership sent me after it arrived to their lot. Additions in the near future will be a RetraxPRO MX bed cover, Borla ATAK or MagnaFlow exhaust system, and N-FAB steps.
