Anybody else gonna comment on how good that tech is??? He’s also personable and knowledgeable. 👍👍👍
Andre: Do we need to put on gloves?
Mechanic: Hold my beer
That young man looks like a dam good worker
only if all were like him
I agree he gets the job done
Congratulations guys, you made a stock Rebel look like a stock Rebel aside from the ridiculously bad looking light bar. Sorry but it’s true!!
- whoami - exactly what I’m talking about. Did you not read my comment. Why change the rims? They’re not much different, just lift it and put 35s on it and save the $ for the rims.
You miss the point of the series. Its supposed to look stock using as many Mopar parts.
jumex34 exactly what I’m saying! If you wanna keep it looking stock, save the $ for the rims and keep the stock rims. Just change the tires. The reason to change rims is for a dramatic change not to look similar to the stock in my opinion.
@@wrayzor97 blah blah blah
Yeah I would have at least went with a 4-inch BDS Lift.
The best of watching this is your excitement for the Rebel Rouser build. Your like a kid on Christmas or his birthday Andre!
what do you torque those nuts to? mechanic: yes
Three ugga duggas.
@@hochhaul One ugga-dugga was about 110nm (80 lb ft?) in my former life... Yes, depends of equipment...
When the impact stops turning plus 10 seconds
Grant Z Price it's called the German torque spec: Good-n-tite
LOL I was just headed down here to mention something about this and you beat me to it. I cringed every time he was putting a bolt or nut on with the impact.
Finally a video that shows the Rebel's rear shocks and how to remove them. I know it's easy but still nice to see it. Putting Rebel stock shocks on my Laramie with the off road package just because I can. Probably wont notice any difference but oh well.
No difference, not sure why you would do that.
A Ram with a 5.7 and a leveling kit is not a Raptor competitor.
Source: I own a Ram with a 5.7 and a leveling kit. lol
Looks just as good tho
@@VMAFIA - not even close. The Raptor has much wider, pre-runner style, fenders. This is simply a lifted Ram. Not the same thing.
I'm not a huge fan of that new 5th gen Tundra styling either.
ledzeppelin27 more than a level kit that you would spend $150. They actually upgraded the shocks as well. That’s a big deal for a good shock
@Andrew Smith HAHAHA! Man, that's a good one
Awesome mods on the truck Andre. Looking forward to seeing how the truck does on the trails. Thanks for sharing.
Not real crazy about the truck but i love how pumped andre is. Like a big kid haha. If he likes it, good for him😉👍
That is one SWEET truck....It looks really well done! Love the enthusiasm too!
Raptor will always look better!
I guess you haven't seen a rebel TRX yet
I'm so jealous of that monster of a truck it's amazing
As an employee of TOYO, gotta love those Open Country!
Sick build! Can’t wait to see how much it can do.
Funny how he just uses the impact on the strut nut after the directions specifically say do not do that lol
"send it home with an impact"
If you know what you're doing it's fine...they just don't want you to "send it home"
@@rcguymike yeah my teacher is one of those guys that can get it pretty close to torque specs.
@@lippixit your boyfriend
OH MAN!!! Great video guys. I’ve been waiting for someone to make this video. I’m waiting for my company vehicle allowance so I can get a Rebel and do this. Thanks team.
Looks good.
looking forward to how well these new shocks work!
I've been wanting to buy a truck and mod it to be like a raptor, but the more videos like this I see the more I think the raptor is more worth it.
Yea, factory warranty and way more power to.
FishFind3000 And sounds like a lawn mower.
Yep, better suspension without a Doubt. It would cost $7-8k to match the raptor suspension.
If only ram put the 6.4 in the 1/2 ton. It would be worth it for sure. But ford damn I’ll say there transmissions in those raptors go quicker then the time spent buying a raptor or any car.
Ryndan Riley buy a first gen, you won’t regret it
This guy makes the work look so easy. Great job.
This series has been awesome to keep up with!
Looks great with the leveling kit. That's next up for mine.
Looks great leveled and with bigger tires. I am going to compare your numbers with my leveled GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 4x4 on 33". Looking forward to seeing it offroad.
Those tires look like more street then off road
Totally impressed with that shop and tech. Rebel is looking good....thanks for replacing those white lettered wrangler tires 👍
If you want to compete with a raptor you’ll need a lot more than just a leveling kit, Baja long travel kit and fiberglass fenders would kinda be a better choice
The Raptor only has a mid level kit on it alot of people think it has long travel. They only have 12 to 13 in of travel that isnt long travel and yes I agree this rebel still will not compete with the raptor. Those shocks they put on are better but they wont hold up
Great video guys! Enjoyed this one
Looks great, very cool upgrades.
I love the falcon shock setup. Its plush like a raptor but its definitley not as much travel.
This is exactly what I want for my 2022 ram rebel
You guys should do some hub or lug-centeic spacers on the wheels, half an inch would make a difference on the stance of the truck. It might be some work having to roll the back fenders so that the tires do not scrape when theyre tucked but its worth it in my opinion. Enjoy the truck, it looks good!
3:05 wow those upper control arms are adorable. Like a little wish bone out of a small Turkey. The ones on my tundra dwarf those. Same story with the lowers. That's funny.
Unfortunately when your Tundra frame rusts through, you won't have anything for those sweet control arms to mount to 🤣
@@krashnpa that's not an issue for late model trucks. Mine is over three years old with literally not a spec of rust. My friends one year old chevy 2500 though has an alarming amount of rust for a year old yikes
The mpg for this truck was not that good before you started all these mods. I am curious about how much worse it will be after
Round 12.5 to 13 realistically. That's what I got on my 2015 when I went to 35"s. (8spd) But I went true 35x12.5r17
@@noidontthinksolol I believe it. I got good mpg when I was on stock tires 265/65/17 (I think) +mds 👍
Really depends on gear ratio. My 19 Ram 1500 crew cab 5.7 w/3.92 gets 12/13 city 16/17 hwy and it's completely stock.
@@noidontthinksolol unless you hand calculate your mileage it's not right. The evic is an estimate and is usually too generous on gas vehicles
MPG is a concern for people who actually use their trucks. A decrease in MPG is an increase in operating costs. But I guess that's all well and good if your truck is just a glorified minivan.
So what is the approach angle gain? Ram ditched the Toyo ATII for 2019 but TFL truck says what do you know Ram. I am sure ram didn’t get rid of that tire because owner were complaining about lack of traction in wet and icy conditions. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ good thing none of those conditions exist in Colorado
Keep up the videos! I hope these go into production for a reasonable price, would love to upgrade my 2019 North edition ram. But also been thinking about tracking down the stock rebel Bilsteins if you guys at tfl want to get rid of them
Im definitely interested in seeing a new fins n things run, with side by side footage of before and after the lift.
Also new mpg now that its lifted.
11:19 To 11:24 Falcon Bump Stop Is That When Roman Mica Is Racing The 2019 Flame Red Ram 1500 5.7L V8 4WD Crew Cab Short Bed Rebel At 100 Miles Per Hour Fyling!!!!
This looks amazing!!
Looks amazing!! Andrè is like a kid In a candy store lmao. I love it!!!
If you want a Rebel to look and perform like a Raptor then why not just buy a Raptor? This coming from a Ram Rebel owner.
Full Blast whack
That technician... man he's awesome!
I like how the mechanic explained what he was doing while he worked
Super cool truck y'all good job
Look at the size if the shaft!
Yes!
This looks great.
Looks a lot better for sure
Sure wish I got same results; my 2020 Rebel only netted about an inch of front lift which is about half of what Falcon advertises and not near what FLT was able to get. Still waiting to hear back from Falcon so hopefully have something good to report.
Excellent, so you buy an expensive off-road truck, take all the off-road parts out and replace them with better after market ones. Great, but will you do that if it was your own money ?
Right??? Why not buy stock and then build it?
Did the bolts that secures the stone shields for the shocks have Loctight 242/243(removable strangth put on them so they will not vibrate out or something functionally simular). Also are thier any other bolts that needs a thead locker of some sort added?
Love the Toyo AT II
Good job on the toe. He knows what he’s doing. I can’t say enough about my guys at Dobbs in Edwardsville Illinois. They are problem solvers.
Even the dealer couldn’t figure it out from Kia in O’Fallon Illinois Offenburg Kia to be exact.
Looking good guys. That will definitely be one of my next upgrade for my Ram Rebel. Question why did you guys not use the Mopar factory leveling kit and the 2 inch lift kit built specifically for this truck?
Pretty sure because falcon sponsored the video, so no cost
The Mopar leveling kit is a spacer lift which will eat ball joints rapidly.
Lower the tire pressure to get a better RTI(test at 15 psi, 30 psi, 45 psi).
Rebel looks sweet. Curious to see how toyos do, just ordered same tires for my truck. Would be Interested in an ike gauntlet run after lifted to see if it affects your towring
Great job 🤠👍
I got a 3.5 inch ReadyLift kit with 35 inch Mickey Thompson tires on my 2019 Rebel. You guys should have done a 3.5inch lift kit
Your ready for the Rubicon trail take the Rebel the VDub and the JLUR aka the “Vacum”🤠
Yeah free shock upgrade!... my $ & ⌚it would be 3-4" or 6" lift depending on what the driveshafts can handle
Sick, turned a Rebel into a Rebel
Andre are you going to give this truck to the tuner guys to make it go faster and recalibrate the speedometer?
Dude seems like he is a top mechanic
You need to take the sway bars off especially the front and you will get more out of it because it will allow the front end to act independently per its design. All us desert guys take sway bars off first thing when you start messing with suspension and travel.
You guys should check out the Cooper Discoverer tires next time! Either the ST Maxx (what I use) or the STT Pro (step up from mine). They are fantastic!
I have some ST maxxes and they are great! I am sure they just put the toyos on because they got sponsored
Wahoo episode 4 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dang it! You guys had my hopes up when I read "lift kit". I thought it would be a true suspension lift of at least 4 inches. Should have installed a larger rear block so it doesn't look like a dog going poop.
lifting heavy things like that guy at 7:20 showing off is how you get a repetative strain injury for life. aka musle paralysis or other problems. its possible to exert the body to the point of life threatening injury with heavy exertion too. crap no one tells you about. but car factory workers would know they are pretty well taken care of. they get things to help them with RSI like exoskeleton suits to relieve their muscle work
Andres role in this build is pretty much my dream job.
Them Boys Kold!
Listen to all that work that those knuckleheads are doing!
Leveling kit.... cmon
whhitestallion puts on a leveling kit. That’s code for its now on the raptor level
I saw lift , got pumped someone got a lift for a rebel , saw it is a level kit , moved on.
One of my favourite part of the day is when I see the TFL notification on my phone, great job guys!
RTI is very imprecise, CTI (corner travel index) is much more accurate, repeatable, safer, instead of one tall ramp you use two short ramps or two hydraulic lift tables.
Two big differences between each truck one can go 100mph on dirt and over bumps like nothing (ford) while the other doesn’t turn on after being parked for too long (fiat)
Scotty Kilmer agrees.
NascarFan24 1992-present can’t go wrong with watching Scotty Kilmer videos
First! Love my new Rebel. I went with Borla S type Exhaust System. Sounds vicious. Love watching your videos to give me ideas on what mods to go with. Cant wait to take my truck on the trails.
How loud is your exhaust? The stock exhaust is too quiet but I don't want something that will make the neighbors hate me when I start the truck every morning. I'm alway the first out of the house and one of the first to leave the neighborhood every morning.
@@evo1videoDepends how close your neighbors are. initally loud on cold starts but will level off at idle. S type has very little drone at cruising speed 65 to 70 mph. If I had to do it again I think I'd go with the Borla Touring bc I'm in an apartment complex. But the S type sounds so good when merging onto a freeway or over taking slower traffic.
@@jumex34 they are pretty close tract home aka cookie cutter type houses.
@@evo1video I'd go with the Touring
For day-to-day use I think the factory Bilstein suspension would be more than adequate 👍
Can't remember when the last time someone was excited about the size of my shaft
Consider that if you have a standard size garage door,. It will not clear ,. My stock rebel barely has 1 inch of clearance , love my truck the way it is,. But i dont plan on off roading it much
Hope you have better luck with those Toyos than I did. Couldn't get but 40,000 miles out of them before having flats all the time. The tread belts are easy to puncture around about that mileage and this was on a Ford F150. After 2 sets, never again will I buy Toyos.
The mechanic doesn't seem to know what the impact wrench will do, the way he 'tickles' the trigger proves this. He also does the same with the air saw.
So, what about speedometer calibration, and transmission shift points due to larger tires, will they both 'self calibrate'?
If you enjoy a truck that does a mean impression of a Flathead Catfish.
This is your truck for sure.
Exactly truck looking good and mean
Those shocks remind me of moutain bike shocks. Lock, simi open and fully opened
Probably would have been a good idea to loosen the UCA’s and LCA’s bolts (easier install and the bushings wont tear over time) and then once the weight of the truck is on the suspension tighten all the bolts down. Then obviously an alignment
I like the dura tracks a lot more .. they come in 35s too
And the MPG keeps going south!
The Raptor is in a class by itself but I've always thought the Rebel was the best looking of the rest and this build makes it better. Minus the sport bar.
With the factory adjustable “air suspension” on the ram, when u put a lift on it. Does it automatically disable the “air suspension?” Or can u still use it, even tho u have a lift kit on? 🤔
I think the wrong video was posted for the title, because I did not see the the Rebel that looks better than a Raptor they are referring too🤔
I am on the second set of Toyo open country AT2 on my Silverado and love them, I’m excited to see what you guys put them up against!
Let's talk about that full size 4x4 red van.... After the new RTI score
Hey Guys! Now do a fuel economy test, to see if you've gained or lost mpg. Those Duratracs are tough on MPG. Don't forget to calculate your tire size difference, or get your speedo really calibrated 😉
Y'all should do give aways or something, got things like custom offsets offering complete truck builds as give aways
Those wheels are horrible looking on that truck. They should just spray paint that bead-lock ring Black.
eriksh60 I think it’s due to the bead being in silver and then also the white from tyre writing. It just looks a bit too much
i actually preferred to original wheels
eriksh60 Gloss black
They quit using toyo tires this year they use to use on previous rebels so I would recommend that you gone nitto or falken
Cool truck. Feel like the rebel needs a 4 in lift, 37s, and remove the rack and stuff to match up in appearance at least with the raptor.
Add all this + the cost of the Ram & your way over the price of a Raptor. Also does any of the mods violate the factory warranty ? Love the Channel Guys.
When they change the black/red interior I'll consider a rebel but time is running out.
I agree looks like seat covers
I LIKE IT
Looking good. When does the blower get installed? If you want to run with the Raptors you need more power.
Impressive articulation for only a level kit and shock upgrade.👏
No leaf springs. Coils all around. The only acceptable offroad choice.
@@samjohnson9894 And in today's world, it's the smart choice.
I have a 2019 Rebel. I have to say the tires are better than the 2017 Rebel I had but still spin on Wet roads. Also, I agree that there has to a better Light Bar out there for the Rebel and suggestions.?
The Go Rhino bed bar with articulating light bar, looks great and hides you overhead lights making it able to go thru car washes.
It started out better looking than a Raptor and is now much better looking. And as far as capability I don’t understand why anyone would take a new truck into serious off road stuff considering there price, and the fact that a side by side is way more capable and funner and if you break it just put it on your trailer and pull it home with your over priced new truck.
You should do the towing test at night so you can shine your head lights into on coming traffic. The rake is there for a reason, so when you tow the truck stays level. Welcome to the world of mall crawlers (all looks no utility).
James Ryan it’s not a mall crawler if you take it off road
