    Hi All -

    I have been using the site for research for a while so I finally figured I'd become a member.

    I have a 2009 DCLB TRD Sport in Timberland Mica (which i've learned from this site, is a bit of a rare truck). I had a 2009 access cab but after having our daughter this year, I upgraded to a DC so that I could take her places with me. Putting her car seat in the back of the access cab felt pretty unsafe.

    So far, I'm loving this truck. Had 49k miles on it when I picked it up a few months ago and had some normal wear and tear.I love the extra room and power (AC was 4-cyl). Below are some pics of her. I will say it does feel very long and is in dire need of a lift. Some of the research I've been doing on here has me thinking of buying the 5100/885 + AAL setup from Headstrong.com.
    Also, my wheels are heavily corroded and I'm currently trying to decide on new wheels. Thinking of Pro Comp 7036 in matte black. I'm a big fan of the FJ special edition anthracite wheels on the timberland mica, but I'm seeing they are nearly impossible to find. Anyways, thanks and I look forward to sharing my build.

    Thank you! Selfishly, I have a lot of questions about mods and upgrades but it looks like i should be able to find whatever I need here.
