    Aloha Tacoma World! My name is Biggz and I'm from Maui,Hawaii I am a complete newbie to trucks as I've never owned one before. I am from the drifting and VIP style world as I've owned multiple fun rwd cars and air bagged Lexus's. (I currently own a bagged Lexus LS460L) I previously owned a 2003 V8 2wd 4runner which I traded it in October 2019 for a white 2013 double cab 2wd 4 cylinder Tacoma. Truck had some mods to it like an K&N intake,LCE headers,Magnaflow exhaust and fender flare delete and 20x10 Moto Metal wheels (definitely not my style of wheel choice)....after driving that truck for 2 months I decided to trade it in for an
    all stock 2015 instead. Just last month I had a shop install a DJM 3/4 drop kit with a mini c-notch. Currently looking for wheels but with the Covid-19 Pandemic going on right now looks like I'll be rolling on the stocks for a while. I'm not into off roading (it sure is fun tho) or have a lifestyle that needs 4wd and that's why I chose to go with a 2wd Tacoma. And I've always wanted a lowered 4 door Tacoma so I had to build my dream! That's about it. Sorry for the long intro Aloha all!
