2016 Ram Rebel Slow build

[Mekcanix]

I am in the same boat as you with the seats, my drivers seat base is all cracked and coming apart. I have been looking for better than a year for a new seat bottom, but haven't found anything. a year back some one was selling a full rebel seat cover on ebay and I missed it and thats the only one I have seen.
I am also running the same size tires and I still like them

I like those Go Rhino RB 20s. I had a set of their Dominator D6 running boards on my 2014 GMC and never had any issues with them. Like the RB 20s, they weren't sliders, but they were much heavier than normal running boards and tucked up high and tight to the body. I'm not in a state that uses a lot of salt in the winter, but the powder coat held up well and didn't chip or flake.

Yes, that was a big pain in the butt I first noticed the cushion was worn on the 15-hour drive back from Wisconsin I tended to sit a bit slanted like my but didn't want to stay in the middle of the seat and slid towards the door. I have contemplated seat covers, but that's like buying a sexy Ferrari and putting a leather bra thing on the front. Part of the amazingness of this truck is opening that door and that gorgeous interior. Everyone that has seen or been in my truck loves it. I might just say f it and go directly to a Mopar dealer and see if they can get them. I wouldn't mind some of those seat back mounts with the mole attachments though. For a while when shooting and other stuff, I put the seats up in the back and use the flat fold-out thing. I don't know why but when I get in my truck with my seats folded up it just looks strange to me ( I know I'm knit-picking).

Honestly, that tire size is great, taller than stock. Great on gas mileage, downside not many choices of tire in that size, and some of those tires cost more than the equivalent 315/70R17. I'm still torn if I want to keep that size or go bigger possibly to 285/75R18 which on the tire calculator is 34.8 but still the same width or just go 315/70R17 which is barely half an inch taller than our current size, but there are way more choices in that size. I think I got too carried away watching xoverland builds. I notice most of the Tacoma/4runners they do 33's and the ram/tundra builds go to 315/35's. Downside is if I go either of those I need new wheels. 315 fit our truck but they are ungodly close to the upper control arm.

Quick question what PSI do you run? I know our factory is 55 45. Coming from vehicles that usually ran 32/35 psi on rutter dirt roads I would drop to 25ish, in snowy mountains offroad or rocky trails(not supper rocky but typical colorado mountain stuff) I would go 18ish.
With the Rebel, I'm not sure what to run yet. I got ahold of the some youtuber with a rebel forgot his name asian looking guy. He said as soon as he hits trails he drops down to about 30psi front and rear. (logging road trails and such.)

Ok remembered the guys name. I was kinda copying Edward Shin with his rebel build (granted he has the new body style). I just said he had go rhinos the RB's were on sale so I was like they look kind of the same turns out he had the Dominator d6 like you. They are both great the only issue I can see some not liking about the RB series 1. they look like raptor knockoffs, 2. you have to adjust them you can put them further out so you have a larger stepping area, but then you notice the gap between the step and body. 3. Some people don't like the taper they are wider in the front and get skinnier towards the rear. All in all so far I love them. Super easy to put on.

When I have been on ugly fire roads I will drop my psi to around 20-25, but god is it a handfull if you have to turn on to pavement for any length of time and didnt air up.
I ended up using 1-1/5" Spacers (GASP!!!) with my factory wheels, to clear the A Arms, because my wife loves the wheels and its also what makes it a rebel and not a warlock I have been running them for over a year with no issues inspected them in the fall nothing loose no cracks yay.
I am also running rough country tubular upper arms and the rough county 3" lift struts up front, and the matching shocks in the rear. I have a hidden winch and a aftermarket rear bumper. I love this truck.

My plan is to have local upholstery guy have a look at the drivers seat, I can't cover those seats they are part of smile when I open the truck. Even after 2-1/2 years of ownership

The lowest I've gone was 30-32 psi so far. Not for any real reason minus being too lazy to air up right away I figure stock 1500's run about 32 stock so it's semi ok lol. I do agree with you on that you definitely feel it more even at 30 I'm running the terra grappler g2's. I've been doing so much research on different tire pressure's the mathmatical equation says we should be able to do about 20 no problem. When I had my h3 alpha I would run 15-18 on rutted rocky mountain roads with no problem clearly the Ram's weigh more. I've watch all of that australian dude's videos on youtube that goes over tire pressure. I feel like the overlanding thing is way bigger over there. The youtube channels for them kinda go more into detail on stuff. I feel most overland stuff here is super cool but more so great videotography or hey buy this or that. Don't have a roof top tent it's ok you don't have to be a loser forever, buy xxx brand ikamper, and then you can have friends with man buns too. Lol j/k j/k. Honestly I do like the factory wheels, but I've been looking at those method's with that bead grip technology. Not a bead lock but I guess it allows you to run a bit lower while holding the tire on the bead better.

I was looking at the procomp upper arms myself. I have never run rough country. Ever since my Tacoma days I've been a bilstien whore. Who did you go for on the hidden winch? I've been looking at the Vice Designs from our brother across the northern border lol. Since I can't find anyone that makes one here. Do you have a build thread on here?

That is not a bad idea I thought I found a replacement seat cushion brand new on ebay, but i think it's for the non rebel....meaning softer with not much side bolstering.
