Default 2016 RCSB Build

So this is my 2016 RCSB. I bought it in late November after looking for weeks for a 07-13 RCSB in decent shape with no luck.

Here is how it looked 1 hr after I bought it.

It didn't take long to start adding some parts. It is now lowered 4/6 McGaughys kit, K&N intake, Magnaflow off road exhaust, a 5" aluminum drive shaft with a forged sonnax yoke, 22x10 MRR T228 wheels w 305/40/22 Toyo Proxes ST II and a soft tonneau cover. i have done all the work and will continue to do it all except for the tuning.

I currently have a Diablo tune in it but I just purchased HpTuners MPVI Pro and plan on having it tuned in the near future. I also added a Auto Meter gauge pod with AEM wide band and boost/vacuum gauge (hint on whats to come).

Here is a pic of the drive shaft that Driveshaft Specialist in San Antonio made for me. On a side note it did not fix the vibration problem.

Thanks for looking.

Bad *** truck man.

It's crazy seeing a truck with a 4/6 drop that still needs to come way down. A 4/6 drop on a 99-06 truck pretty much gets you in the weeds.

Exactly my thought. There is a 2015 crewcab running around town here that's pretty slammed so makes me wonder what he's running. Probably like a 6/8

Awesome looking truck btw.

Thanks guys. I had it set at 5/7 and with my tire choice it rubbed too much. It looked sweet but.....

Sonnax Driveline parts are outstanding. Glad to see them out in the field.
Sharp looking truck too.
