Wanted to introduce and review my Rebel which I picked up off the lot on 8/27/15, was a 2015 build loaded with every option except the keyless entry and start (which I would like but did not want to wait for an order) I put the first 1,000 miles on in the first week of ownership, currently traveling for the fall and she is sitting at 2,200 miles.

This truck as of now is a stepping stone for me, as I really want the 2017 Raptor but wanted a truck now that was comparable as I am not a fan of the old style Raptor's but we will see if that changes next year when they are released. The biggest selling factor on this truck was the interior as it is critical for me to be modern with excellent contrasts (Black/Black/Red was a huge selling point) I despise the two tone interiors of most cars today with cream pillars and headliners. Was also very impressed with the aggressive exterior styling and rugged bumpers and appearance. As far as the motor, its a 5.7 Hemi, which has never impressed me to be honest but its a truck and has a very well rated power/torque.

A few minor issues associated with the truck which are being taken care of, the sport hood insert was loose, minor paint blemishes on the tailgate, and inside the door jams and the cargo box covers under the rear set elastic secure straps one was ripped out (had to order the entire cover which is on backorder) Dealer made good on all issues, but did get a bit of over spray on the entire vehicle when they did the paint work but my detail guy took care of it for me.

Funny thats what the dealer told me about the AMP boards which I would have preferred but I see that other members have installed them.

I do not have the P/N as the dealer installed them.

No it did not, which I do not understand as the air tanks are under the bed of the truck these do not go anywhere near that location. The dealer said " You need an air tank relocation kit (an additional $1,200) and it would then void the air suspension warranty if anything ever happened".

Now if only someone would release a tuner for the 2015 I can get my intake and be set until next summer when I swap out the wheels and do the lift kit. Will post some pictures after install.

Got the fender flares in from the dealer today, and it looks like the Sema Rebel X flares are not available for sale, the front flares are cut shorter than the standard ram.

Mopar only has two PN in their system 82214281AB and 2214773
Ram 1500 Wheel Flares (Part No: 82214281AB)
Ram 1500 Wheel Flares (Part No: 82214773)

These are both cut to long for the rebel
REBEL X


My Rebel With 82214281AB



Anyone have any insight on the Rebel X Fender Flare part numbers?


you make no sense when you right about how you want a raptor but bought a rebel. then just wait for the raptor to come out. I don't know one person that is not impressed with the Hemi. why bother.
Well now you do, I never said I wasn't impressed with this truck, but I am more so with the new raptor. Not sure why you care so much about my preferances.

Good news and bad, got most of the parts in today the rest are getting delivered tomorrow but the truck's air suspensions started to act up today it is stuck in aero mode wont go up or down. When I select it to adjust it says the ride height is not available due to current payload (the truck is completely empty) so the dealer scheduled me an emergency service slot on Thursday, this should be a good time.

Hey Carbon, I'm sorry to hear of the air suspension issue. Please keep us updated, since I, and others, are following your build closely. I ordered a Decked Storage system and the Smittybilt M1 fender flares too. Still excited to see how your LED mods come out, since that's next on my agenda. Thanks man!
