Rebel from San Antonio TX

[4thGenRed]

I just picked up a 2017 Ram Rebel 4x4 w/ 78k miles two weeks ago. My mopar history is mostly jeeps; 2012 JK, 2014 Cherokee Trailhawk, 2014 JK (pictured), 2020 JT (pictured), and currently 2008 hemi Commander. All of them were built based on my offroad preference while living in SoCal, except the commander which is just a family leisure vehicle in the driveway and has a lift and JT wheels. My other car hobbies are RHD JDM vehicles.

Previous owner kept the interior immaculate and had an excellent taste in Mods including Morimoto Headlights, LED tail lights, BDS 4” lift with Fox rear shocks, Core4x4 UCA’s/ LCA’s, Trackbar, Carven full exhaust system, Amp Research hidden steps, Vararam Intake, 20” XD Buck 25 wrapped with 35x12.5 Toyo MT’s, although i prefer smaller wheels but bigger tires like my previously owned jeeps.

Last week, i bedlined the front grill, hood deflector (also painted the bolt accessories black), and yesterday 02/22/2024 i bedlined the fenders. I just have the mirrors and tailgate mouldings to do .

I still don’t know what my end goals are but I plan to go upgrade the exhaust as it’s too droning on highway travels, and upgrade the alpine speakers.

Nice looking Ram Rebel. Do you know what speakers you plan to upgrade too? I have seen some posts about the current system on some trucks that sound no better than a boom box. If that is the case on my Ram Laramie that will be delivered tomorrow. I will probably replace amp and speakers with either Fosgate or kicker products. As a teenager in the 90's not only were my trucks fast, the stereos were ground pounders. As a 48yr young man I will tone that back. Just seeing what other options are out there

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the Rebel. Looks very well optioned out with add ons also. Enjoy the ride and maintain it, especially since the "hemi" going away, lol.

@marine0311 I was thinking about going back to Morel or Illusion... They both have great soundstage especially the Morel Hybrid 602, but i don't want to spend that much anymore. Probably CDT's reuse my ARC Audio XDI amp or get a new one. I do have the 10 speaker alpine currently and soundstage isn't there up front.
