    Aloha! Bought my 2015 DCLB Super White Tacoma in Anchorage AK and shipped it The Big Island of Hawaii where I was moving for work. Previously owned a 2001 Single cab Toyota, 4 banger manual with King front Coilovers and Fox Rear resi shocks, custom leaf packs built by Alaska Spring and Performance. It was an awesome off road rig but pretty squirrely at highway speeds and was gutless with any weight in the back. Then I went Chevy Duramax for a few years, but sold it to buy a newer Tacoma.

    Truck: 2015 DCLB Super White TRD Sport
    Miles: 44,000 (23,000 when purchased)
    Trans: Auto

    When I bought the truck it had a 2" spacer lift on it with (2) 1" blocks in the back with a few degree shim. No doubt dealer installed. Currently has the same set up but I am patiently waiting on my tax return so I can buy an ICON Stage III Kit!

    Other additions:
    Cooper S/T Maxx 265/70/R17 (Great Tire!)
    N-Fab Side Steps (for the GF, I never use the step, it just gets the jeans dirty all the time!)
    Bed Mat
    Wet Okole Seat Covers (Front & Back)
    Weathertech Floor Mats (gotta have!)

    In the works:
    ICON Stage III Lift
    New Head Unit & Subs/Speakers (Factory Entune system is worthless IMO)
    Front Camera
    RokBlokz Mud Flaps (ripped 2 of my factory ones off)

    Main Uses: Truck is my Daily Driver and "work rig". It sees a lot of rough dirt roads (civil construction sites, quarries, landfills, etc.) as well as occasional offroading here in Hawaii on mainly rough lava rock roads. And in hawaii, even the paved roads make you wish you had a performance suspension setup! IMG_0014.jpg IMG_1137.jpg
