After about six months of searching, I found a clean R/T! It’s loaded with about every option, 41k miles, looks to have had some work done. It has a Flowmaster 40 single in dial out with what appears to be three stock resonators, and 5” Carven tips. He put a Mag Hytec rear diff cover but I believe it still has stock 3.92, it runs 2k rpm right at 70mph. Unsure of any other work done in the diff. Also appears to have an aluminum driveshaft but I think that may be stock, I know some of these had aluminum shafts. This truck was built at the Saltillo plant.

Other than that he put 305/45 Nitto Terra Grapplers on, an LED strip between rear bumper and bottom of tailgate, a nice tonneau and BedRug.

As of now, I plan on swapping the 40 for a Super 10 and lose the resonators, possibly lowering the rear with the McGaugheys 2” springs. Long term I’d love to put a P1SC Procharger on.

so far I love this truck!

Thanks co-pilot! I’m in Irving, in DFW area. I had an 04 reg cab sport hemi that I absolutely loved, put 156k miles on it before I sold. My wife and I both have Wranglers and ended up trading mine for this. Took about 6 months of watching dealer lots and autotrader religiously.

I snagged this the day it listed and they were getting numerous inquiries incoming while we were finalizing the paperwork.

super excited and don’t plan on putting a ton of miles on it, more of a toy at this point.

I can take credit for the antenna!! It’s almost the size of a 20mm actually, the bullet antenna on my wife’s Rubicon is more along the size of a .50. Nevertheless, that and wheel locks were my first of many mods

Nice, I like the stance, not too low, perfect for every day driving. Never mind me I am an old man, I'm sure it will look good when you slam it too.

Thanks everybody! I too like the stance so may leave the suspension alone. Should have the Super 10 swapped in early next week. Also thinking about the Banks pedal monster...I don’t want to mess with the PCM and tuner just yet, the Procharger kit I’m looking at comes with a tune.

I really like the R/T's, but they stopped making them before I got my 2019 RCSB Express. I did add the color match mirrors, color matched door handles, leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls and the upper glove box lid. Mine did come with the 8.4 and better gauge cluster.

My truck also has an aluminum drive shaft stock.

nice truck, definitely needs to be lowered, I went with the same kit you mentioned, well, at least in name. Mine has the drop spindles and a rear flip kit and performance shocks to keep it from bottoming out.
