As I read through this thread. I’m so happy I checked the GT box, when I ordered my Ram Rebel. Looking forward to installing my TRX steering wheel. Hopefully my work schedule will open up, and I can get this done soon.
Just some general information, food for thought.
Our OEM Gen5 1500 including TRX 18” wheels:
Front 14.9” 378mm
Rear 14.8” 376mm
1.2” min 1.1” 30mm min 28mm
To put this in comparison

Front 14.2” 360mm
Rear 14.1” 358mm
1.34” min 1.28” 34mm min 32.5mm

I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the options. I like Bubba Rope, because they are manufactured in the USA. Rhino is a great US family owned company, but their gear is made overseas. Doesn’t mean it’s not great stuff.
I just prefer, and am willing to pay a little extra, for US...
Thanks!!!
I’m going to upgrade. Ram rear axles can’t handle aggressive off road driving. This is a known issue, in the off roading community. I have been off roading with a friend when he broke his axle.
I have a different use case than many on this Forum. I understand the push back. I...
I’m a big fan of bubba rope. Didn’t even know this company existed, until I attended an off road recovery class.

You are correct, the TRX has Dana 60 (aka Spicer M250). TRX axles are too wide, and you can’t change gearing. PM if you are interested in why.
I’m exploring multiple options. One option is to pull the trigger on a custom Ford 9” built for the Ram DT from an Australian company: ARB locker...
This thread has been very interesting. Providing many positions to consider. I love the respectful back and forth sharing of ideas.
I for one like the numbers I see from the new I6TT. I’m very interested in the future release of the RHO.
I’m just not sure I can give up that V8 sound. I...
I have a couple Anderson connectors in the bed of my truck. My truck is built for overlanding, so I need to powers 50L ARB refrigerator.
I ran mine behind my Ram-boxes. There was a OEM penetration, I used to pull the lines in.
Be sure to use the proper AWG. I would also recommend a...
I’m with you, the power output is incredible is some of these builds. I’m shocked that the front ring and pinion doesn’t instantaneously grenade. But it seems to be hanging in there.
Maybe AAM got a sneak peek at one of those flying sources they say the government has. Using some outer space...
