Hi everyone, picked up my 2016 Rebel at the end of December last year. This is my first truck, and I absolutely love it. Don't think I can live without a truck now. Big thanks my sales rep Keelan at Erin Dodge and Sales Manager Amit for making it happen and getting me a great deal, they were some of the best sales people I've worked with, very professional, friendly and helpful.

Anyways, here are some pictures of what I've done so far, have a few more small mods to add, i will update my thread once I do. Enjoy the pics

At the dealer picking her up, had the dealer install fender flares

Ordered my wheels, switched to 20 inch, with 33" Mickey Thompson tires, thanks to Roman, Aaron and Mike at 4wheelparts in Burlington, and also swapped out the OEM antenna for stubby 15" antenna

Like the rims, not crazy about the fender flares

Different strokes.... I'm just the opposite, fenders look great with that Gray but 20's are so 2014.

Nice truck!

Thanks guys, yes fenders may not be for everyone, but I personally love them! saves the lower rockers from paint chips also. Done a few more things since, will post them later.

Have you considered making the door handles black as well? Might make the fender flares look less weighty.

I like the flares. However, the pics looks like the OP is either in areo mode or entry / exit mode. Not enough clearance between wheel wells and tires. If this is in normal or offroad mode, then I would have to agree they look too overpowering for the tire / wheel combo
What did dealer charge you to add the flares if you don't mind? Doesn't have be an exact number, just a rough number.
Thanks
Todd

yes you are right, there are a few pics in entry/exit mode, so it's lower. I had the dealer include the fender for me with the price I negotiated with the truck so I don't know what they would charge normally. but it says 900 installed on the invoice

What size are the wheels?

I really like the rims you chose too. They match the fender flares quite nicely. What brand are they?

Congrats on getting your car, I personally like the fender with the new set of rims you got!

Keep us updated on your added mods

I'm thinking of getting the same thing, but probably in black like this:

I like the slim light bar that this Rebel is wearing. Subtle, but very nice.

20x10 or 20x8.5 whats the offset? Just wondering I ordered a set of XD 129 holeshots 17x9 with -12 offset.

Discussion Starter · #16 · Apr 6, 2016

20x9, zero offset. Your wheels will push out more with the negative offset. I was looking for -12 offset, but this style didn't make one

Thanks, the black looks very nice with those wheels.

I've just added deezee tailgate assist, a must for all owners, and also fold a cover G4 elite with personal caddy. I had undercover swing case installed before, very useful but need more storage space, i'll be selling those soon.

Thanks, yep -12 will push them out, new flares should work well with them. I have a LEER and decked truck bed organizer on order.
