I will always miss Shadow the Tundra. Pouring a 40 for her daily .

I'm loving this change you've made however unfortunate it's been. I'm sorry that you had the total loss of your Tundra. In my family my wife drives a Tundra and I have a Ram 1500. We're big fans of you and what you've posted on social media overall. My wife and I have done some mods on her Tundra but now it's my turn. I'm so stoked to see what you have in store for us Ram guys. Please keep posting! Thanks for doing so brother!

i mean the ram rebels are cool trucks but the tundra has a special place in my heart

I definitely like the look of the Rebel, I am sure it will work out well for you Jason

Welcome to the Rebel club bud. I’ve had my Rebel for 2yrs, 48K miles and have had Zero issues. Absolute monster off-road. Get the lift kit on it through the dealer so it doesn’t impact the warranty. Be interested in seeing your mods. I’m exploring caps for mine right now as well.

That wrap looks great! My ‘21 Rebel I ordered in February just arrived at the dealer. It’s out getting window tints, hope to have it by the weekend! I traded an ‘18 Rebel and prior to that had a ‘13 RAM Sport, next to no issues over the past 9 years with my RAM’s. And this is from someone that swore off Dodge in the late 80’s.

I’m a ‘19 Rebel owner and love mine! Welcome to the fam. You just got a new follower.

Happy Father’s Day Edward! Looking forward to this “Raw” Rebel build.

As a fan of your content and 2021 Rebel owner, solid choice. I look forward to seeing what you do with the vehicle. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my Rebel on and off-road.

Welcome to the 5th Gen RAM Fam man. I literally found your channel because of your wrap video on your Tundra. Believe it or not its actually one of the most comprehensive videos on DIY Vinyl wrapping on a full sized truck on KZfaq. I used it as a guide for wrapping my own RAM, and while its unfortunate about your Yoda, this is actually really awesome to see you in a Rebel now. Can't wait to see the content you pump out with this beast!

Good luck with the new truck Edward! We will be here to experience this journey alongside.

Tundra guy here but I gotta say Ram has come a long way as far as reliability. And the tech is awesome. Not a bad decision at all. I'll definitely be watching

Happy first Father's day my friend!!! Very cool rig & glad to see you excited for the new build. I could definitely see the emotions in the last vid about Shadow.

Excellent choice on the Ram Rebel. Cant wait to see the mods and future reviews. Keep up the good work.

Awesome choice! I'm glad you went with a Rebel, as I have a 2020 Rebel, with a Snugtop Rebel on top, and a Roofnest Condor XL on top of that. I am really looking forward to see the mods you choose! I've enjoyed everything you've done with Shadow!

Great pic. I love my 2500. The wrap looks awesome, can't wait to see what else you have in store for the truck and the adventures.

The new truck looks great! Best of luck with it and take your time and totally enjoy your build.

Happy Father’s Day man, my first as well. Excited for this Ram and future content.

Yesssss!!! So excited! I've been bored on KZfaq like when is there going to be a good video when I got notified that you uploaded one :D

Congrats on the truck! This video got an instant subscription from me. I bought a Tacoma in 2005 then a brand new one in 08' and that continues to be my daily driver but I'm saving for this Ram Rebel so I can't wait for future vids. Rock on 🤘

I'm loving your content! I hide in the background, but look forward to your videos! Happy Father's Day, and look forward to seeing more of your adventures!

Congratulations on the new Rebel, Edward! Brother, I think it is a sweet machine and I nearly bought a Dodge Ram truck, all black. I opted for a '19 GMC Savana 2500 cargo van instead. I'm about 80% completed on my conversion. In two months, I will leave my bricks and mortar abode in Virginia and begin my adventure, i.e. traveling and living throughout the lower 48, Canada and Alaska. I will most likely be based in Sacramento, CA, at my sister's home. I hope to I get an opportunity to meet all of you guys up in the Northwest as you all are top notch people and overlanders. My rig won't be set up or capable of 4X4 activities initially as I want to live in it almost full time.

Really happy that you got your new truck, excited to see the adventures you will have.

Happy for you and your family brother! Cannot wait to see the finished product! 🍻🔥

Right on! I’ve got an ‘18 Ram 1500 Limited I’ve been building out for a few years now. Looking forward to seeing this come together!

Congrats man! last video hit me right in the feels. Sucks losing something you are so connected too. Looking forward to the new build. You should definetly share all your mod installs!

I’ve been following your channel for probably a few years now and loved what you did with the Tundra but I’m really excited what future episodes will bring since I’m a fellow 5th gen Rebel owner. A lot of the reasons you mention in your video are the same ones which led me to choose the Ram but I also have similar concerns. A tough one would be overcoming the lack of support for the platform when you are probably used to the plethora of aftermarket components for Toyota’s. Anyhow keep up the good work. 👊🏼

Great video my friend. I bought the 21 rebel and I almost got all of the packages on it. I did get the 4 corner air suspension on mine and it is worth it. Just drove a 2600 mile road trip and I felt the difference. Keep up the Rebel videos.

Love your truck man those rebels are nice for sure. I like the aggressive look they have. I recently was in the market for a off-road camping type truck to build on and was deciding between a rebel and a Jeep gladiator. I ended up getting a gladiator which I love. As far as reliability is concerned I feel like with all the newer vehicles it’s mostly just dependent on maintenance. As long as you take care of it, it will last. No truck brand is perfect. Enjoy it brother looking forward to see the build progress!

Truck looks great. Looking forward to future videos and your short and long term review on the Rebel Happy Father’s Day

I have a 19 Ram DT BigHorn (4x4 w/ v8) with the level 2 equipment. I also have aftermarket wheels, tires and suspension (18" Rims, 35" tires, 2.5" level). So far I havent experienced any electrical or hardware issues in the 39,000 miles i have on it. Ram has been good to me so far. Good luck with the new truck!

That's going to be one hell of an overlander when your finished with it have fun buddy looking forward to seen it come along

found your channel because I am looking into getting a rebel... about to binge watch your channel lol good stuff

After the heartbreak in that last vid, it's great to see you motivated by your new rig!

Love It!! Continuing to evolve, and embrace your new journey!

I had a very similar experience to you....had a fully built tacoma for overlanding and had an unfortunate accident on a water crossing resulting in a total loss. i moved to the diesel gladiator and i couldn't be happier. looking forward to following your build! i think this is going to be a great a platform!

looking forward to seeing your new adventures and upgrades to the ram. I've been following you for a while and enjoy your videos. cheers to new beginnings!

Subscribed, awesome to see more content coming out for the Ram Rebel. I've got my 2020 and I love it so far. I'm doing the same in terms of running the wheels and tires for as long as I can before I upgrade (most likely early 2022). Im looking forward to seeing what comes next for this build.

Can wait to see what you do with this truck brother!

Happy first Father’s Day.Good looking ram can’t wait to see your build.Take care.

Good call to avoid the excess upcharges!! The used car market is insane! Look forward to hearing all about the truck and how it holds up over the years!

Wow that's a sharp looking truck, congratulations! I wouldn't 2nd guess reliability of the Ram. I say that because I went from a Tacoma to a Ram 2500 diesel. After 2 years and 35,000 miles the only issue was a thermostat but that's on Cummins more than Ram. I had 2 tacos and without going into detail they were far from trouble free, although I do think they are well made and I liked how they drove. Bottom line is everything has issues, drive what makes you happy. I installed dura tracs about 6,000 miles ago, deep snow performance is fantastic.

Great looking truck Edward. This is going to be a fun buildout. Looking forward to seeing what your choice of camper/tent turns out to be. Lets get some camping in together!

Edward happy to see back on the trail 🤙🏻 always support a fellow overlander ! Family first as a dad myself I 100% agree with you my friend!

Solid work on the Rig! Also great video quality!!!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

The ending was classic!!! Love the truck! Congratulations! I can’t wait to see how Shadow 2.0 turns out. Ps I’m also the one that sent you the auction page of Shadow 1.0.

I've had my 2019 Ram 1500 Sport for 18 months and it's been brilliant and how you treat your truck is how reliable it ends up being.

Congrats on the buy. I think you will enjoy the new truck. From having driven most of the trucks including the Tundra I just couldn't pass on the Rebel (first gen). You can't beat the fact that you can fit up to 315/70/r17 with no lift at all and no cutting needed. Now running carli king performance suspension and it drives like a Cadillac pretty much. As far as reliability I would say look at it this way, the engine and transmission are solid and they perform great while having more power. The fuel economy will be better and it will simply be more comfortable plus safety is a key factor as well. My truck has over 200k km on it and most has been modified and have done countless jumps on the truck still kicks ass. The only issues I had was the cruise control acting up and the exhaust leaking. Do the maintenance and it will be amazing. In order to be innovative you have to push the reliability I believe. I worked at a Toyota dealership and honestly they break just as much ( water pumps, wheel bearing, steering racks, and the leaf springs strangely enough). Also look at the sales. It can't be that the wast majority of truck buyers are dumb. Toyota makes such a small percentage of the sales and I wonder why if it is the " greatest truck to be made". Keep up the great videos and dont worry about the reliability. It will prove itself. 😁

Nice, looking forward to all the coming mods!

Sweet vid bro, I think I know what I'll be buying next for my forever vehicle!

I have a 2020 Tundra SR5 double cab TRD with the 6'7" bed. I have had it a year now. 20k miles. The options I had on it was all I wanted and Ram, Ford F150, Chevy/GMC, would have cost about 5k more. I generally don't off road in it but live in the country with a lot of dirt roads. Volunteer Firefighter with a lot of tree down calls. Carry a chain saw, straps&chains and have pulled sizeable trees off the road. It is a "beast!" Metallic gray like your "beloved" Shadow! Great job on your videos and you can make your new Ram Rebel into what you want I am sure! Good for you!!

Great video! Love the clip from the black to wrapped. I was like, what the!? am I going crazy

Losing the tundra was bitter sweet but you definitely made a good replacement. Can't wait to see the new adventures on the channel to come.🤙🏾💯

Happy Father’s Day and great looking rig. Looking forward to more great videos

Congratulations on the new rig. Can’t wait to see the build

Good choice Mopar! Most people have no idea even why it's called a Hemi or what it does for the motor. I will be getting a new truck and it will be a 3500 with a Cummins diesel w/turbo. Good to see you back in action, your channel is starting to blow my friend. Glad I share your vids to help. Ps... take the exhaust and "let it out!" 👊

Glad to see you come to the Ram Family. I loved your content before, no I think I’ll like it even more!

Nice Truck! Hope it serves you and your family well. That wrap is on point.

I'm not a Dodge guy at all. But I'm willing to bet you will have a pretty trouble free rig as long as you maintain it. This is exciting times for you and your family and I wish you the best in your camping and travels!!

Love your videography!!! I also traded my Tundra in and started a 2020 RAM 2500 build, with many pros, and cons. I started wanting Diesel to start and worked from there now my Rig is KNOW as the BEAST!! rolling on 40s..

Excited to see the new build coming...

Nice Rebel ….. looking forward to seeing the mods and adventures 🇺🇸

Excited to watch this build!

Got a 2020 Rebel, loveee it! No problems so far what so ever. I drive in 4 wheel high ALL THE TIME non stop even in the summer.

Good choice on the truck sir. I have a 2020 Big horn with the off-road package. LOVE IT!

Lol was just thinking now you gotta wrap this one! Beautiful truck, enjoy it.

Love it, looking forward to the upcoming mods and adventures 👍

Good looking truck. Congrats. Looking forward to the new build. I followed you because I recently bought a 2021 Tundra. After talking to my mechanic and doing a bit of research I decided on Tundra for safety, reliability…and how much they hold their value compared to the others. There’s a reason why you found a Dodge in this crazy market but couldn’t find a Tundra. Having said that, I’m sure you will get a lot of miles out of the Dodge since you will probably take care of it more than the average driver. Happy Father’s Day.

I have a bedslide in my F150, love it. Wish I did it sooner. Great for camping and also still hauling things. Making a kitchen setup that attaches to the bedslide that can come out when not needed. Good luck with the build.

Beautiful truck, i really wanted a power wagon but after reading the forums and their problems I played it safe and went with the last year of the 2nd gen tundra. Here’s to many years of trouble free miles to you and your ram

that wrap looks great, man! Love the color.

Can't wait to see the finished results... nice truck.

Love your content and outstanding video production!

just awesome and look forward to the build. As I said before, at least you are doing a full size build and I am tired of Tundras and Tacomas on youtube.

New to the channel, thank you for sharing your adventures. I enjoy relaxing videos of the great outdoors. Also in a few years going to buy a new truck so it’s good to see different takes of what is offered in the truck market.

That is a sexy beast. I love the interior of RAM trucks. I'd love an AEV prospector XL. I drove a RAM 3500 Laramie in Yellowstone last year and loved it. That's saying alot as a Toyota fanboy who built Toyota trucks back in the day when they were built in California.

Yes! love your channel and have a rebel overlander myself. Can't wait to see what you do with it!!

Edward and family.... Happy Father's Day Amigo. Great video. Well thought out... 👊

I am not a Ram fan, but I really like the way you are evaluating it. I look forward to your thoughts on it. Keep up the great content!

Awesome wrap color Edward. Tundra guy here as well but the Ram looks good. Gonna be nice to follow the build process!

Hey There - love the new truck. I have a Ram 1500 that I use for all my outdoors fun lol. I take it a lot of places I probably shouldn’t lol. But it never fails to do what I ask of it. Up the side of mountains down across water, through the sand and mud. I even pull a big travel trailer when I need to. It’s seriously customisable in every way you can think of. I’m still working on my build and probably won’t stop until I get another Ram lol Welcome to Ram World! lol Cheers

New to your channel but I have to say im impressed and enjoyed your video. I appreciate the non biased aspect and great video editing I’ve had. A. 2007 ram 1500 reg cab 2012 crew cab 2021 crew cab And now a 2022 ram crew cab built to serve addition My 07 had 4.10 gears and held its own in tug a war against a 3/4 Chevy 6.0 The 2012 I had. I beat the crap out of like really bad. And after about 110k miles the only issues I ever had were things that I did. Never the truck failing me The 21 I only had for a year and out about 20k miles on it. Only issue I had was the waiter fluid hose got clogged somehow The 22 that I have now is just amazing The ride is superb. The alpine stereo sounds amazing. I do have 3.21 gears on it but it toes my small travel trailer with ease Going forward I will be adding a suspension under it. Either the icon stage five or the carli Definitely looking forward to more videos on your truck I personally haven’t experienced any kind of issues with my rams. I grew up die hard Chevy but for now ram is doing amazing things And the 5.7 is dialed in. No one can knock the Toyotas but the ram is definitely worth at the least for people to test drive and see for them selves how far along ram has come

I wrapped one of my rigs (5 year ago)....regret it to this day!! Hope you have better luck than I did! On the other hand, at the same time, I rhino lined my other rig...what an amazing result. That is the next thing for me!

Congratulations on new ride

Bro, look up Dethloff Mfg - company based out of Tualitin Oregon. They make skid plate for transmission - i have one on my rebel and it's a lot of piece of mind. those plastic transmission fins are not very confidence inspiring being out in the open. best insurance is making sure it never breaks in the first place!

nice truck buddy.... happy for you :-] cant wait to see all the mods !

Good Choice Bro. I saw a print in your t-shirt, you are Pro Du30, man Love that Guy. 👊🏻

Been waiting for this video!

As always, love it. Looking forward to hearing your opinions off road. They family will love it. We gotta get the trucks together, maybe spawn some little baby Ram’s 🤣🤙🏼

Amazing Vid, and love the personal opinions!

Happy Father's day Edward. Kinda late being early Monday morning. Be safe. Cheers

Happy Father's Day, Edward! Best wishes to you and yours, too!

Keep up on putting in Techron concentrate to keep the fuel gauge sender from going out. Big TSB problem on the new Rams.

Awesome truck looking forward to all the vids

Happy Fathers Day, Edward. Congrats on your new rig. Lets go crypto!!!

Right on "Bruddah Ed"! Likin' da new ride! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Ol' Scooter"…down in East Texas!

Subbed. I’ve had my 2021 Rebel for a few mo the now and have done several mods to it. LOVING the truck and the interior is just killer. If you haven’t added the Sprint Booster to yours I’d highly recommend it! Takes that little bit of throttle lag right out. I’ve got the Trigger 4 system in mine with Rough Country Black series pods and light bar on my camper shell. It’s a sweet setup!

Love it! Next camping and overland chapter begins now! #ramfam 🖤🖤🖤

Congrats! Looks great!

As A 5th gen RAM owner I'm really looking forward to watching this come together. Shifts and grins makes brakets for rear hooks from the TRX and I installed builtright molle bedside racks in mine. If you aren't on the 5th gen forum you should think about joining. A lot of good info there it's very active.
