Just pulled the trigger on the Core 4x4 trail rear kit!!! If anyone is eyeballing any of Core 4x4's stuff, now is the time... they're having a 15%off sale for Memorial Day!!!

Had the etorque recall done. Also had them check out the etorque belt tensioner that's leaking. The tensioner and belt are getting replaced. Have to wait for the belt that is on back order to come in and have that done.

Drive to Iowa City for an appointment at University of Iowa. Averaged 15.1mpg on the drive there, to include about 50 miles of city driving before I left (trip display showed 11.6mpg when I left my driveway). that is hand calculated fuel mileage. Have not filled up from return trip, but dash is displaying over 16mpg. That is at 75mph for most of the trip, with a stint at 70mph going through Des Moines. And wife drove the last 45 minutes cause I was falling asleep, and she sets cruise at 77mph.

35" tires with a 3/1 lift, and off-road front bumper View attachment 159438

So just filled up tonight after the return trip. Once again, ended up with about 50-60 miles of local driving before I got gas. Would have filled up last night's but forgot my wallet at home. 15.3 hand calculated. Trip display showed 16mpg. Not bad for making the truck into more of a brick than it was before. Seems like I am about 3-4mpg lower than when I was stock tires/suspension/fwithrinr bumper and just the Pulsar. I'll take 15mpg on the freeway. I get about 13-14mpg around town.

So far so good but I’m just scratching the surface. There’s an overwhelming amount of apps I haven’t dug into yet. I’m an apple person so android stuff is uncharted waters for me.

There isn’t a sound to video lag? I’ve found that anything through wireless carplay always lags.

Bought my wheels they should be here Sunday and my Tires will be here Tuesday! Taking in the truck to get the lift done hopefully it’ll all be done by the 1st. Super pumped can’t wait to see it all together.

Go through your insurance and see if they will cover chip repairs. Most insurance companies will do free chip repair.

Yeah, when I set up the appointment, they went through all that. It will be covered for free.

It's like $165 out of pocket.

if you're following the BSM thread you'll see the way i did it, and i broke off another thread about the wiring for the mirror glass wiring and auto dimming to not clutter that thread up. that grommet kinda was a nightmare, but overall it wasn't too bad.


This is what i did too. i wished i had seen that video on completely dismanteling the mirror arms before i did it... thats the only hope of easily getting it thru that grommet. but its good just beside it too. i have close-ups in the thread.

Also if you get the glass on ebay go with "avondaledodge" they are the real deal one there. thats where i got mine. (but i wanted brand new ones so thats the way i went.)

Yeah it makes it soooo much easier when you do it that way for sure it saved me a bunch of time and made it a lot easier on myself.

What time is on your unlocked PCM, and who wrote the tune? If all it is is the basic unlocked PCM, then it's just a stock tune until you make changes

That is correct, its a spare PCM with a stock copy from my stock PCM

Soon I’m waiting on a local tuner as our gas is different than the states, other wise a remote tunning would’ve been easier load, data log and send by email for adjustments.

Entered it into the VFW car show today. There are all years makes and models here.

What’s the difference between this sway bar and the oem one that comes on a ORG LIMITED? If any?

update... the Hellwig AND the one on the Rebel are both a "fat" 7/8" of an inch. So, it isn't actually any bigger... so the advantages will only be that the Hellwig is solid vs. the stock being hollow, as well as the adjustability of the Hellwig.

While I agree with you and have used Hellwig in the past, I was very interested in the posts or thread elsewhere dealing with flattening and redrilling the OEM bar. I may do that myself.

i haven't heard that one before. I would think that when you take a cylinder and make it a flat plane it would get weaker... Especially in the case of a tortion bar with the twisting. BUT, i'm also not a blacksmith hahaha so to actually know, or try that are beyond me. hahaha. If you do do it (hahaha "do-do" ) I'd be interested to know how it works out... and if it doesn't i'll give you my old stock bar if you pay shipping hahahaha.

A buddy of mine flattened the ends of his OEM sway bar in a press and drilled new end link holes. It's been about a year now and he hasn't had any problems.

Hmm.. I was sure thinking my Hellwig was thicker than the OE.

As far as torsion goes, only the outer material carries the load.

Hellwig? Hell, yeah!

I just added the Hellwig rear sway bar. Thanks to everyone who recommended it (and the links to the AAFES store). I used the Hellwig heavy duty end-links. I set the end-links to the middle hole in the sway bar. I've just driven about 20 minutes...and am amazed at the difference. What a...

Changed the oil and filter and rotated the tires also cleaned and waxed the inner hoop. Put antiseeze on the studs and installed the valvomax oil drain plug thing. Who ever decided to put the sway bar right under the drain plug is a idiot and the derp that put the steering rack right under the oil filter well he can service a horse. The oil udder worked well until I quit using it how it should be used...

I now want a filter relocation kit. I seen someone post one and noted it but did not book mark it. Any suggestions for a good quality kit I can buy?

I added wireless CarPlay and streaming to my truck this week using the magic box 2.0. Fun little device! Kids enjoy watching Mr. Beast in the comfort of the Rebel lol!!

I know what I want for Father’s Day. This looks amazing
