Thanks guys.

Problem with ordering is its unknown with chip shortages which ones will get built and when, estimate for us is that and it'll be at least 9 months before it arrives. Think this is why built ones are popular at the moment and not all dealers want to sell for export plus depending on the State it can make a fair difference in price.

My UK dealer is on the case, offered me another blue one but without sunroof but I've decided I'd rather have black. Likely I'll keep this one longer than usual so anticipating having it wrapped in different colours a few times. Yes they'll do the door shuts etc but I think black is a much better base colour for not having handles done and other bits.

So, after watching a video of a sunroof :rolleyes: I've opened up the choice to include ones with sunroofs which should mean we can find something that fits the bill, think I was being overly fussy. Not sure if Canadian ones are still cheaper but I would think so and there looks to be a few possibilities, will see what Charles and his contacts come up with.

PS. Out local taxis are black with yellow so the wrap will work out great.

also got the retrax powertrax tonneau cover

Dumb question, but the cover is compatible with the Ram Bar?

Could you post up a close up of the Bar / Cover interaction?

It’s a tight fit, the two bolts for the ram bar closest to the cab are hex head. I changed them out for a stainless low profile button head. That’s all it takes to get the clearance for the power cover. That little extra millimeter of room. I did the install solo, wasn’t terrible. I’ll show pics tomorrow

That's what I thought, but you solved it for your case.

My hard cover rolls up, but on the top side, so I think it would hit.
Yeah the roller models aren’t gonna work with the angle of the ram bar and the handles that jut out.

I was thinking of getting the Bak X4 again which rolls up on the topside, have seen a couple of videos with it installed with Rambar and it just clears. I have one on my Rebel and quality isn't as good as my old Retrax but its OK and I like the extra bed space without canister. It leaks badly at the tailgate end but thats a feature of Ram boxes.

I've agreed purchase on a 22 black one. More than I was hoping to pay and it has sunroofs but I'm pretty excited :D

Delivery only 4 to 5 weeks, doesn't have Rambar but going to either get one put on in Canada or dealer will take it off the blue one as he hasn't advertised it yet. Going to also swap the rails for my power steps which will save me a fair amount, AMP are around £2K here.

Congratulations, Lize. I think you'll like it.
Especially once it's no longer black.

I'm sure I will, I love my Rebel.
When I go out I look at my cars including the HC and mostly get in the Ram o_O
Think I've just got to face facts, I like trucks.

Funny. I'd much rather drive the Challenger. Wouldn't trade it for three TRXs.

Magnified, would you still like to know what the step-in height is?

Anyway, my girlfriend has "stepping blocks" to get up on her high horses. Should I send you one?

Lol, no thanks on the block, hut yes on the height. With surgery on foot coming next month like to know how difficult vs expedition it would be to get in to. An old dude's question, yes.

Alright, I'll do my best to remember measuring tomorrow, old man.

By the way, did I ever tell you about the mobility scooter I have left over? It came from England, but don't worry,
the steering is in the center so you could easily learn to drive it.
