Timberland Mica! Lets see em!!

Just curious how rare of a color is this?

 

Don't know how rare it is in other places but there's only 3 in the county I live in. Mine a 4wd dcsb , a 5 lug access cab and a 6 lug prerunner access cab.

 

Haven't visited this thread for a long time. I saw a Timberland Mica on the fwy the other day and it was nice. Really wish I had got TM instead of mgm. My 90 Toyota pickup was gray so I went back to it.

 

UPDATE: So I needed to replace my calipers .......https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/pro-comp-wheels.492024/#post-15230128

 

Unfortunately for sale but thought I'd contribute one last time.

Needing to get into a Land Cruiser for the interior room

Love this color.

Picked up a 2009 DCLB timberland mica a few months ago after having to trade in my AC when my daughter was born. Had no clue this color was so rare.

First things first - put a lift on and throw on some new wheels (alloy stock wheels very corroded).

 

Nice DCLB TM truck Joe. Welcome to TW!

 

Thanks, guys!

The first mod I'm planning are upgrading my wheels (see pic below). I saw some posts throughout this thread and seems like most people are in favor of black and the graphite/anthracite(whatever that color is). I'll admit, this thing doesn't see much dirt - besides deer season - and upgrades will mostly be for looks.

I love the FJ special edition anthracite wheels but those seem like theyre impossible to find. I saw some posts about ppl buying the silver ones and repainting them so I've given that some thought. I also really like the look of the Pro Comp 7036 matte black wheels. I also like price tag. My wife stays home now with our daughter so I'm trying to be strategic / budget conscious with my upgrades.

 

Whoops! forgot to attach

 

With that in mind, let me ask you guys a question - currently my truck has Cooper Discoverer AT3 265/65/17s on it. That's not a tire size I have seen on here very often (or at all).

If I get 17" pro comp 7036 helldorados and go with the 5100 / 885 + AAL setup from Headstrong, are the tires going to look weird? I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to need to save another $800-$1,000 for tires. I love the look of 285s but these 265/65 are damn near brand new so don't have a good excuse yet to switch.

Thanks for your help everyone

 

Heres another option for wheels that came off of an fj that are also darker gray. They're a little easier to find as well and i love the way they look on the timberland micas!

 

@rjbiii are those 17"? I like the look of them.

 

Yep, 17" rims, and thanks man!

 

@rjbiii Looking at your build now. Can't believe i'm saying this with having to deal with Pittsburgh traffic, but damn I miss my manual transmission!

This is my first automatic vehicle in many years.

 

Yeah, im a manual guy all the way! But i think if i ever lived in the city i would definitely consider an auto. Traffic is a serious pain in the ass with a manual.. But other than that, i cant find a reason that id drive an auto. It's all a matter of what you use it for though, so i can see why folks buy them! Its a dying art my friend!

 

Some sort of charcoal/ anthracite/ graphite is definitely the way to go with timberland mica. I painted my TRD wheels with the duplicolor 'graphite' wheel paint. Looks great with TM, clean and dirty!

 

Those look good @robertcobyglass. I like those wheels a lot and there’s actually a set on Craigslist right now for $250. But they’re 16” wheels and I’d have to buy new tires, so it may not make sense.

In terms of cleaning up my current wheels and painting, I had two shops tell me they were corroded beyond repair - not sure how truthful that is - which has my thinking of buying new.

I’ve seen a handful of guys clean up and paint the TRD sport wheels and they look good.

 

The gunmetal gray FNs almost match my grille perfectly!
