Roaming Lost: 2020 RAM Rebel EcoDiesel Overland Build

[roaminglost]

Wow this is awesome. I've been looking at these myself since probaby not going to 'overland' any longer, and just stick to the campgrounds and FS roads most likely. Any coments on things you don't like?

I really don't have any dislikes as cheesy as it sounds.

Swapped out all my Baja lighting for Rigid and added a few for good measure ?
50" Rigid Adapt
2x D-XL Ditch lights
2x 6" Rigid 360s Spots
2x 4" Rigid 360s SAE Ambers

Just out of curiosity, what made you change from Baja design to Rigid?

I've always had Rigid on my last 2 vehicles and wanted to try something else... ended up liking the Rigids better. The light output is great, quality build and material on the rigids.

Custom Front Runner Outfitters camper rack acquired! Pretty stoked on it. Then mounted the Aluboxes to it, tons of unused space now being utilized. Going to run a diesel jerry can in the middle for some extra fuel for the truck / heater.

Camper lighting came out awesome. Used Hardkorr lighting

39" LED Camping Light Bar Kit by Hard Korr - Orange & White Dimmable

These durable, functional, and I'll go ahead and say it, sexy lights just seem to work in almost any scenario. Clamp them to your awning poles. Stick them to any metal surface. Permanently mount them to your campervan ceiling. They really do work anywhere. Plus, they can be chained together if...

nice! The goose gear setup looks great too.

assume that's some insulation on the door?

yeah but the insulation didn't do anything lol

haha, was wondering.

you picked up a diesel heater right? that might have been someone else but if it was you, how do you work that entry into the camper without letting cold air in?

Hey RL, thanks for documenting the interior lights. I have a few things in mind for lighting up my X1 inside and out but I have not seen these. They look like a no brainer. I was going to go with one of the many Jeep rear hatch 48" LED bars but not dimmable. I also like the different modes. I've set up a couple rigs with these before but hacked it all together from Amazon parts. I think I'll go this route instead.

Do you notice any interference with your sat/radio signal since the camper (alum) is over top of the receiver??

i do have one. i just close the side door onto it and use a blanket for the gap, it does the trick

its a pretty easy setup and works flawlessly. i had a mismatch lighting before and this just works

Switched from Falcons to Bilsteins 6112's. I Will be switching the rears to 5160s soon but for now, running the Falcon rear shocks as well. I also added in the Total Chaos Fabrication uni-ball upper control arms. So far way better than the previous setup. A lot like the stock setup, the Falcons rode pretty stiff.

I'm on the highest setting on the Bilstein. and haven't had any issues. A bit of rubbing with the 35s but might be able to solve it with an alignment adjustment.

This truck's performance in snow and ice is so damn good.
