[@jimburson2226]

Long before overlanding became popular me an my girl would camp out of my work truck (f-350), a few years ago i bought a 2007 dodge 1500 with low miles, my setup, reg. cab, 8' bed w/shell, 4" lift w/34" tires, i had a professional crawl-thru installed (no leaks!) which leads to a pillow top mattress with a 2 person down bag, this leaves a couple of feet for my fridge/freezer (hard wired) and water storage an firewood, i just had a rhino rack installed with arb awning. This setup means we can stealth camp anywhere or hardcore camp in the high sierra, i like the roof top tent idea but around 8-10,000 feet we have serious thunder storms that hit without warning, even seen snow in july-august, this truck isn't for conquering mt. everest but it gets me to my fishing holes, some of which will challenge any 4x4 - from a old timer lol

[@brittneybertrand2503]

I think I need to come for a visit for some of these mods. We overland in my 2019 rebel and love it but could always step our game up. Was really hoping to see if you have an arb elements fridge/freezer set up in the bed of the truck. Thanks for sharing guys, hope to pass you on the trail sometime.

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks for your comment. We prefer the Dometic fridges because they are more square in shape. The ARB elements I had for 1 night before I sold it because the inside is stupidly designed. As for putting a fridge in the back, you just have to get a slide and then nutsert it to the bed ;-)

[@venomrebel2020]

Great video!

[@EPIC-4WD]

Thanks! Was fun!

[@SimonElenor]

You can Overland anything! It is not about the rough terrain it's about getting out and doing something. I have a friend that has been Overlanding his Subaru for a long while now. So point is. Anything can be Overlanded you just have to know your limits and what you want in life.

those rims are tough looking. i have a 15 Ram crew p.w.

Depending on how much you carry with you if you get a camper could build a bed for the truck bed. Even have it raised a bit and build drawers under it and use back cab for storage and you’ll be super comfy. Cheers

Just a heads up the exhaust manifold studs will break on this truck. Mine broke at 40000 my fathers broke at 30000.

[@obrjoe]

It's only one stud on the passenger side closest to the cab that beaks and it does not effect anything. My 2015 Ram has a broken stud and it just seals up after the engine warms up. I know guys with 200k plus that never fixed it. It does not effect performance or fuel economy. Mine has 80k on it now.

[@smallfeet1345]

Mine just hit 80k and is fine

[@rebeladventures2887]

Thanks to your video I am planning on putting the same fender flares on my 19 Rebel. Where did you get the black bolts and washers? Bushwhacker only has the stainless. Great video by the way

[@unixdoes]

[@ilovefood9568]

I want to ask, have you changed the front and back gears? I have a 2023 Rebel 4x4, and I have an overland build on my truck. I get about 9 miles per gallon. It's because I couldn't regear the front and back ring and pinion. Currently, I have 3.92 gears, but I want to change them to 4.88. Do you know where to get those gears, or can you explain what I can do to improve my mileage?

[@matthewm3912]

You guys ever do a Nissan Titan pro 4x build?

[@EPIC-4WD]

Nope. We only work on Jeep JL, Jeep GT and RAM1500/3500 Late Model.

[@Shravan.R.Prabhakaran]

this truck is sooo perfect.. but if the wheels were like 17s the tire would look more beefy and looks even more aggressive on this sexy monster...

You are not wrong sir. Cheers from team EPIC!

[@wojtasmax]

can you make rebel a abetter truck? NO! but you can make it EPIC!

[@steelontarget]

If intake my truck to a shop, how much can I expect to replicate your lift/suspension and wheel/tire combo? I have a 2019 Ram Longhorn 4x4 and air suspension.

[@jackwhite1742]

Could you run the same suspension and wheels on a 1500 eco diesel? should all still bolt up right?

[@dirtsailoroff-road5580]

I had my Rebel outfitted but ended up taking the gear off and moving it to a small overland trailer I built that I can tow with my jeep. I was tired of destroying my mpg in my Ram when I wasn't using it every day. So now I have a small trailer and now I have my Rebel up for sale.

I know - late to the party here, but have agreed for so long about the Rebels' (small-ish) shortcomings; no front locker, sway bar disconnect, etc., but i still bet that for the investment it hits most of the notes and usage requirements for *most people (talkin to you, mall crawlers). I just with that they would throw on a 'Rebel xtreme Off-road' package of some sort to upfit those as options or something, otherwise yea, we have to go to the PW.

Too late! She sold in days. However, we can certainly build you another one ;-)

[@jc7435]

A ram 1500 will drive on dirt. It will be limited tho. It’s a big vehicle with weak axles. An HD will ride rougher but have more payload for gear and stronger components to take a beating for it’s similar size I’d move to HD. Otherwise a smaller vehicle like a wrangler is better for over landing. Everyone’s situation is different and needs should dictate the vehicle chosen. I will say I took my 19 ram 1500 on back country fire roads and it was a nice ride, given the terrain. My needs have me in a 250 7.3 now. The trailer was very taxing on the 1500 and I wanted to carry more, safer, and have a stronger platform. A Dana 60 and M275 is a lot stronger…

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Appreciated. This video was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but yes a RAM will do the job in most situations ;-)
