    Ram Rebel Overlander Journey

    Mostly finished with my build. Taking the rig on a test run to the Grand Canyon. Left Philly on Saturday. Working our way slowly across the southern US. Here are some highlights.

    Help! Keys locked inside?

    Which is crazy, because I called Stellantis Roadside Assistance instead, figuring that was what they would do.

    Help! Keys locked inside?

    Thank you all for your responses. Some of you were correct. You can infact lock your fob in the center console. That’s where we found them after the locksmith opened the door.

    Help! Keys locked inside?

    Hey all: I went hiking this morning and at the end of the day I could not get back into my truck! The thing is, I got the truck to the trailhead, so I definitely had them then. They might be in the camper, but we looked everywhere. They might be in the truck. (Can they be in the truck...

    Overlanding Rig payload questions

    I definitely approached this all from a ready, fire, aim perspective in hindsight. The camper is designed for a Tacoma and I never though past, “If it works on a small truck it’ll be fine on this.” It’s good to know this stuff. I’m gonna do my best to work with this, but knowing where my...

    Overlanding Rig payload questions

    Hey all: Posted here and there. The Swamp Monster (the name is a work in progress) had the camper installed last week and, we’ll, it’s kinda heavy. I drove it 400 miles home with no issues, other than a rough ride, and now I’ve had a pair of 1500lb Sumo Springs installed. What I’m really...

    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    And then got her dirty. And stuck. Banged the right drivers front wheel so hard it set off the collision system and disabled the power steering! It reset and she is none the worse for wear.

    2022 Ram Rebel: My build notes

    The truck went in to be wrapped this week. I can’t wait to reveal the new color scheme. In the meantime I’ve recovered from the fire, installed the pedal commander and the red button, and removed the rear 40 split and have started building a cargo platform. In the meantime, the Carli system...

    Rear seat delete

    I pulled the 40 split from my 60/40 rear so I can build a wooden platform. Now the rear heated seats are not working. Anyone know if it’s because the harness for the 40 side is disconnected?

    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    Well, after the suspension work, the fire, the rehab and the cleaning, I dropped my truck off to have spacers installed, so that the UCAs don’t rub. Some day I will drive her again.

    2022 Ram Rebel: My build notes

    Truck went in to have the Carli kit installed and the shop caught fire ‍♂️. Three weeks later it’s still being rehabbed for smoke damage. But at least the suspension, wheels and tires are done. The Carli kit specs a -12 offset, but since they don’t actually tell you that, I ordered Methods...

    Fires and Smoke Damage

    So I woke up this morning to discover the shop my truck was in last night had a fire. The truck is undamaged but the windows were open and it smells very strongly of smoke. Everything has a film of ash on it as well. Anyone have any experiences? Is insurance gonna spot me a new interior?

    1500 Rebel Rear Seat Delete

    Does anybody know if the goose gear rear seat delete kit fits a fifth gen 1500 rebel? The listing says the fitment is confirmed on the 2500 and a 3500, but nothing on the 1500. Can everybody confirm relevant crew cab dimensions are the same across the three?

    Changing Interior Trim Color

    So, this past weekend I went out in the woods, and I pinstriped the ever loving F out of the sides. It made me realize I should probably put a protective wrap on it. So now, instead of worrying about a red interior, I’m busy puzzling over what color I should make the exterior. Here’s a couple...

    Also, RAM Mounts makes some sweet setups for tablets and laptops if you're planning a full Gaia or OnX setup. Hey Daniel, what do you mean by a full Gaia or OnX setup?

    2022 Ram Rebel: My build notes

    This week I placed the order for my Khaya camper with Asheville Vehicle Outfitters. I also ordered my rims, tires, bumper, switch panel, and suspension system. I have the Paragoptics multicolor LED ambient light kit on order, and a multicolor LED ram logo for the front in hand. I also have my...
