Meet RebHELL, the first HELLCAT powered WIDEBODY Ram Rebel!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Two weekends ago, the 5thGenRams.com staff traveled to Grand Bend Motorplex in Grand Bend, Ontario for some drag racing fun at our friend Dave Hayes’ SRT Hayes event. While we were there we had to catch up with our friend Charles, a 5thGenRams forum member who has been working a very unique 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel. By unique, we mean insane.
While some might be fine with the performance of the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8, it wasn’t enough for Charles. Instead of waiting for Ram to bring their upcoming Rebel TRX to market, he decided to create his own 707 horsepower HEMI HELLCAT V8 monster. That’s right, this is a HELLCAT-powered Ram Rebel! Charles is no stranger to building awesome trucks, he created an amazing lifted 2000 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab with a 5.9-liter Cummins turbo diesel under the hood. But with this project, he needed some help with the transplant, that’s when he reached out to America’s Most Wanted 4×4 in Holly, Michigan.
Swapping the powertrain wasn’t the only thing Charles did to his Rebel. He installed the very first Fiberwerx widebody kit for the 2019 Ram 1500 (DT) trucks that were available to the public. This gives the truck a very bold and menacing appearance compared to the average Rebel and looks more in line with what a real production Rebel TRX would have. The truck also currently sits on the stock Ram four-corner air suspension and sits on a set of 18-inch Method 305 wheels wrapped in 37-inch x 12.5-inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers tires. The truck also features hand fabricated Rebel bumpers which are made to align the 4-inch wider widebody kit, Carven Competitor exhaust, and fabricated Dodge Charger SRT HELLCAT grille intakes.

Before it happened when it was said that the axle was stock I thought to myself that axles days are numbered. 707 HP and 37s will definitely kill that stock axle.
I cannot find anywhere, a recommendation on drivetrain if a guy wants to install a hellcat in a ram 1500 (gen 4).
@@vonkanon3091 A TRX one will do it
@@Fixin-To Yeah but's not even an option right now is it?
Pro tip: you can watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Alejandro Lian yea, have been using Flixzone} for since december myself :D
just when i though truck mpg couldnt get any worse.... *dodge*: "hold my beer!!!!"
@Seth Miller calling them ram instead of DODGE RAM .... doesnt change the fact that it is still a chrysler/FCA product..... i actually designed (validation) the radios in these... and if you DONT believe me link your email and ill send you pictures ...
Want mpg? buy a car. Want to have fun and a good work vehicle? Buy a truck.
My buddy's 454 4 barrel roll back gets a whopping 6 miles to the gallon🤣😂
wormer66 if you have a 700+hp v8 desert truck and care about MILES PER GALLON, you my friend need help.
Just buy a car if you can't handle the power
Love the ram brand best looking trucks on the road
The word “unfortunately” was highly misused at the end of this video. None of those occurrences were a matter of fortune. No one needed a crystal ball to see those things coming in the near future.
I'd like to see a Power Wagon Hellcat.
randy m Or with a Cummins 1000 pounds of torq engine
Sergio Vazquez that’s already a option from factory
Joshua Godsey you are wrong, Power Wagon it’s only available with a 6.4 l Hemi engine
Sergio Vazquez I’m talking about a 1000 lb ft Cummins is available from factory just not for the power wagon
Joshua Godsey well he was saying power wagon if you were paying attention
Such an awesome truck! Charles' attention to detail makes this the baddest 5th gen Ram there is!
You killed it!!! Incredible build. This will be the main motivation getting up out of bed everyday. Won't stop until I have one myself...
Danny Kokoska yea they literally killed the front axle
@@Nicktheguy24 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would like to know where I can get the wide body for my 21 rebel
Come on people, screw the track and get that beast in the dirt! And rip out that air ride crap and put a full Dirt King long travel kit on it. By the way Dirt King built the TRX Concept Truck. I'm sure if you reach out to them they will hook you up.
37s and 700hp on stock axles and launching the truck. Poor axles. Great truck though. This is something I’ve all ways dreamed about doing. 👍🏻
The only way it could have been cooler was if it had a Viper V10 under the hood
Or that hellaphant 1000hp engine
There was a v10 in that Daytona Dodge Ram truck from factory. If these guys get this truck together, I think it will smoke the v 10.
Glenn Sambrana the v10 that makes 1000 hp with stock internals and twin turbos? I'd like to see it happen pal
That exhuast sounds beautiful 😍. So he turned the front into the TRX. Please…where can i buy a 2023 Ram Rebel to TRX conversion kit !
Wait this thing is running stock suspension and claims to be a trx or trx like? Nah fam gotta put some king or fox shocks on it if you trying to do it right also not surprised stock axles couldn't handle that kinda power but it was an admirable attempt though
Incredible build! Unfortunately, the fate of what happened is (eventually) to-be expected when ensuing that much strain on lower strength factory components. Props to @that_guy_from_br for the build 👌🏻 👊🏻 and to you guys @5thGenRams for the footage! I can’t wait to see more content of this beast! 🦅 🇺🇸
Truly a beauty and a beast! Love it!
Your the true beauty 😊
@@edmeyer4800 sir this is a UA-cam comment section
Ed Meyer this is a UA-cam comment section....
dodge please take note.
Take them big ass 200 Pound tires and rims off and u do alot better u that's why it broke
And that is why FCA is taking for ever to release the TRX... awesome truck!!
Why didn’t u get forged axels come on but I understand u have to make content and most of these auto enthusiasts need make content out of nothing
68 TRX owners hate this video.
Dodge sucks
Captain Caveman so do you but thats normal these days
As soon as I heard stock axles, dead give away.
Or..... just buy a raptor spend $600 on a tune and be faster?
That's what I did and will never look back
I was lucky enough to be part of the team that built all of the prototype TRX's. Awesome trucks, cant wait for them to come out!! Nice build, but definitely needed stronger axles.
Question! if that's true. why didn't yall build a single cab that would have been awesome
How much for the engine swap on my Bighorn??
Around 27k
A hellcat powered ram that's cool
I have a Rebel 2021 I’m looking to out Hellcat inside. Any tips
Curious to know what transmission and brake mods if any were done.
Stock 8hp75 trans and I believe stock brakes as well.
Stock Hellcat map is close to 15 psi. Seems like stock tuning would yield him a ton of performance.
There is no hell cat story. Like go but 300.000km on it. Bet u can't. Like Cummins 6.7 turbo. Rip that truck in half 1010 FLBT
Cool build I don't know if I'd go through all of it after seeing a 13.2 quarter mile time Eco boost trucks can slaughter that with big tires
Eco-boom
Yea but it's a eco boost
Something is wrong! It must be those big gummy tires but otherwise lovely truck🙂
The axle problem is probably why the test mule had a 3/4 ton rear end under it, other than that all I can say is I wish I had the funds to build one too
where can i get this body kit from?
If you don’t get aftermarket the AXEL WILL SNAP!
Sea Mamon ! It’s a dam Truck take that’s shit off-Roading
Ya ya. Come back 300.000. never they all have been recalled. If I can hear that shit box
You should make a video on how u installed the fiberwerx body kit
Incredible..... Very Nice.... 💯
I had to do a double take when I saw Ontario plates
Interesting truck. It's easy to replicate, or improve features after an idea is in production for sometime now. Raptor is the pioneer and still king. Like to see that Ram jump some hills or dunes. Another straight line vehicle...???
King of junk
Can you put a TRX hood on my 5th gen First of all what are you guys located
Second video I saw where a ram rebel axle snapped.
What’s the offset on the wheels, I wanna purchase the wide fenders
I can't understand, if you have the most beatiful truck in the market, why those raptor clone horrible decals, get a self design and make it better.
Rebhell smh no imagination rebel from hell sounds better lol
I cringe when seeing skids on offroad tyres.
Slam the truck and get rid of the big ass wheels
Did anybody hear any supercharger?
Damn thats cool would love to know prices
Some 75w140 oil in the diff would have been smart. Just sayin.
How do I get the. To convert mine
This is far from a TRX. No suspension mods. No drivetrain mods. Not the same engine. Not impressive widebody. Call it what it is, a modified Rebel. Nice Rebel. Cool truck. Better than stock. Just don't call it a TRX.
I thought you said it was safe. Ha. Ha. Haaaa
I love the truck 😮 look at that beautiful motor.
So yeah couldn't handle the power
who the fuck can afford these trucks?!
Nevermind I’m going to just give American muscle a call, I have a complete hellcat drive train from engine trans pcm Tcm bmc dash pedals a-z from my buddies wrecked hellcat challenger that I purchased back feom Icbc when they wrote it off, was going to just rebuild the hellcat but duck me if I can do this in a limited I’m all on
The Dodge broke?? Here's my shocked face. :I
You put 37s on any 700+hp 1/2 ton truck with stock axles, they are gonna break.
This guy wish he could afford the base model Ram. Hater
@@acebuick My stable retailed for over a quarter million. How about yours?
250k ain't nothing. I wipe my a** with that every year or two. 😂😂 my taxes here in Jersey run 15k a year on my 650k home
@@acebuick LOL, sure they do. You've never seen $250k in your entire life, much less wiped your ass with it. You mentioned your [parent's] home, but how about your stable? Must be pretty nice with a home that expensive, right?
Sweet 👍👍🍺
Beautiful build
I love it
That's a awesome build looks flawless.. you and boosted motor sports are the only 2 hellcat ram builds I like both look OEM . The detail you put into your truck definitely doesn't go unnoticed great job!!
That’s a wannabe raptor
Raptor killer
Cute! You get a thumbs up, bit if you really want to impress me, drop a Hellephant in that thing; and give it 1000 HP.
🍺😋👍
😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
🤔 they built a truck with all this power but forget about heavy duty drivelines?! And axles?! pretty sure its gonna need a new tranny too something heavy duty. He mentioned nothing about the transmission and with all that power 😬 i see this truck going constantly to the shop, having a transmission replaced and all kinds of issues.
I too love Neato tires.
6.7CumminsWelder neeeeeto
Badass!
Gosh that’s a beautiful ram
The company I work for will be hauling the TRX to dealers. Had to test fit it on our trucks. It's 2" wider than the Raptor.
imagine this shit off road
F150 ecoboost stock runs faster. Gear it down buddy
Adding a massive powerplant to a frame not designed for such, may lead to micro fractures or cracks in the metal and welds that may break completely one day. Didn't ram beef up the trx frame for this?
Why would you pick a rebel. Drive train isn't going to last long. Minute later ohh yeah saw that sh!t comming.
The truck looks amazing watching videos of the TRX Hellcat Ram and watching this video the only thing that's missing is the air vents on the fenders but the work and craftsmanship that went into this is really unbelievable beautiful truck
Nice truck. Quick question I have a 17 rebel does a hellcat engine fit on it? Thank you.
What brand is neato?
HI BUDDY CHARLES!
Its nitto not neeto just saying
So the new trx has probably stronger axles, in order to launch in 4wd,hopefully
is this the raptor killer or what!!!
loving the oem look i'd buy it if ram did it that way
Wale Aliz that one definitely is not lol.
Shit I can buy an old D150 to kill a rapturd. Biggest pieces of shit on thr road.
@@anthonymolina7416 yea that's caused 1000s of rapturds to fill the junk yards.. Some actually need trucks for real people who need to work. That's why Ive had the same Ram for 17 years. Enjoy your toys
MG42pillbox maybe you should buy hooked on phonics?
MG42pillbox the rapturd holds it value better than fiat RAM
And then low and behold the TRUE Ram Trx is announced. Awesome build though
Who did the swap
How much did it cost to do all that ?
Hence why Mopar is taking its time, the axles are going to need to be huge to take tires like that with four wheel drive and a motor that God himself built.
People race with these truck and other do offroad Toyota truck...wtf it a gawd damn truck
What size lift?
Show some off road videos like the raptors after your truck is fixed. Thanks
Is this truck can fight close to Hennessy Velociraptor V8?
About time we see one of these
Wrong hood, the real one has a big hood scoop on it! Not the same fenders either.
And a different grill!
man, that was a nice burnout on 37's 😂rip, axles, though.
This guy is a legend
Here all the expert mechanics engineers giving their point when they can’t even put a little tikes together
Neat-o tires?
You can use my new 2020 rebel as a test truck too if you want!
This is a good and bad idea at the same time. Good for us to watch bad for the owner and truck.
I'd have waited a bit till the hellephant engine was made available
My 2006 TRX only bad about 250hp? Pretty sure TRX is the off-road trail trim not the prerunner racing trim
Bro, you need to get up to date. The new TRX is a competitor if not destroyer of the Rapotor and its pre-runner style. Your trx from 2006, I dont even know why that model was made
