Ahh that's pretty nice. I got the lights straight from Diode Dynamics but chose to get no harness since I wire my aux lights to my switch controller.

That's pretty neat, but I don't want the reverse lights to turn on every time I put the truck in reverse. I know, I'm complicated.
If you need help with something feel free to shoot me a message. I help customers and anybody who just needs help really.

Just did my first oil change. Only 1,500 miles since I bought it used, but according to service record it hasn't been changed in about a year. Also attempted to install a skeerdy cat, having an issue as the holes don't line up 100%. They need to be more inwards, any idea how I can make that happen? Like if I could scrape about 1/16th of an inch it would fit fine.

Just had the wife drop off the truck at a local dealer to address the dreaded, but all too common leaking window and/or CHMSL, AND check-off the tailgate recall that I've been ignoring (since my tailgate works perfectly). The dealer said he'll get it fixed today so they must have parts available now. Just in time for the GA winter rains.

What part of Georgia are you in?

Do you mean to holes upfront?
You could try a step drill bit - if its the ones at the back I would think a grinder

I've owned my 2021 Rebel since last May. So far I have raised the front 1/2", installed a set of 18" X 9" black Method 305 wheels, Summit Racing side bars and a Mopar trailer brake controller. I also fabricated an under-seat storage area from aluminum under the rear seats. The plastic molded ones I was looking at look like they use up a lot of potential storage space. Next I want to convert from the dash shift knob to the GT console shifter so will be looking for information on that next.

Yes at the front, sorry didn't specify. That would actually work great. Not sure if mine was off slightly while they were machining or what, but I tried again today and it just would not go in. Thank you I'll have to try that.

That's why we so work hard right? Like they say---"you can't take it with you"

I looked for a nice clean used low mileage Rebel that I like for over a year and finally found mine. Realisticly this is probably the last truck I'll have so I would like to make it into something I really like driving. I simply don't like the knob dial on the dash!!

I'm hoping to find some nice used pieces like the ones I saw posted on this forum a while back for $700. That was for a nice complete console with the shifter assembly. To me, that would be money well spent when I can do the labor myself. The problem is they are not easy to find.

But obviously, enlarge the hole in the skeerdy cat part, and not on your truck frame. And then use a stainless or coated washer if needed.

Hit 53k miles on my OEM Duratracs, and they were getting pretty loud and squirrely in the rain. Decided it was time to upgrade. Wanted Wildpeak AT3W's, but Discount Tire apparently only had 4 in the entire US, so I went with Cooper Discoverer AT3's. Upgraded from 275/70R18 to 295/70R18 so playing with AlfaOBD to get the tire size right. Happy with the size change as it fills the wheel well more. Had to put on a new spare too because Ram stupidly decided to put a 31.5" tire on there instead of the OEM size.

Someone had posted a couple weeks ago that the Wikdpeaks were being discontinued z but not sure if that was just the size they were looking for, which were also 18's or the whole line.

That was me. I bought 295/70-18’s at Tire Rack and they said limited stock due to being discontinued. I had four delivered and see they’re now not even listed anymore.

So same size the other guy was looking for. Maybe it's just that size?

Anyone know if this is true? If so, I'll probably need to pick up a spare.
