Hey folks, just picked up my new Rebel last week. I'm replacing the truck that I use to travel back and forth to the shooting range. (I'm out there teaching every week)


Truck upgrades to date: hood black out, two tone black bottom stripe, on order Leer Cap, and DECKED bed organizer.

Congrats on the new Rebel! Do you have pictures of the blacked out hood? Interested to see the exterior of your truck.

 

[Maverick]

Welcome!

I would be happy to see some more pictures of the changes that you have made.

Looking forward to it.

Cheers!

In for seeing and hearing more about that gun collection. What guns do you own and how do you go about transporting it? Always wanted to get an AR15

 

[TheGreatRam]

Did you get the ram boxes for gun storage? I remember seeing them used for that purpose once.

 

[Rangerhughes]

No because I'm putting a Leer Cap with lockable DECKED bed vault in the bed.


I'm a 3 gun competitor and long range precision shooter as well as CCW and LE Instructor so I carry all kinds of guns and targets to the range every day.


Once I have it all together Ill post pictures.

Been out to the range setting up for the weekend 3 Gun match, here are my first impressions of driving 50 miles of dirt washboard roads in the new Rebel:
1. Drives much better than my last range truck: A 2001 Tacoma with a 2 inch Toy Tec Lift.
2. Does not drive as good as my 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie
3. Cant wait to do my link mod and see how it handles the washboards
4. My Dutch Shepard cant wait for the Leer to get in, he hates riding in his kennel, hes having flashback of his working days.

Which leer cap are you getting?

 

[Rangerhughes]

XR 100, need the full sliding windows for the dog.

 

[Rangerhughes]

Leer"s on!

Did you have any trouble mounting it?

 

[Rangerhughes]

Not at all fit like a glove. Im waiting for the DECKED bed organizer to come in. So far with the LEER, Dee Zee tail gate assist Im happier than a pig in mud. The Dog and Guns will have a nice secure ride to the range.

Did you order the truck 2-tone or have the black added after the purchase?

Had it painted by the dealer at time of purchase. Another dealer in town had a two tone but no tow package so I used them as a haggling tool to get what I wanted. If you notice its flat not gloss like the factory paint.

Looks good. My Ram is a single tone and thinking about adding the black. If you don't mind me asking, what did the dealer charge for the paint job?

$450, if you decide to do it replace the fender flares at the same time.

Got the Little Guy out, ready for a road trip!

Some guys even wrap instead of getting paint, just something to put out on here since it's a very good option, easy to undo and even easy enough to install. Plus our rigs being new makes this the perfect time to wrap.
