Restoration parts?

I'm new here so if these links have been posted, point me in the right direction

I'll get pics up, but overall, my 4runner is in fantastic shape (short of clear coat fading and the front leather looking like it was cleaned with lexol and a circular saw).

I'm looking for little pieces, such as the reverse light covers, rear head rests (no clue where they are), dash options (mine has 2 cracks), possible brake upgrades, any worthy performance upgrades (looked in the sticky thread but didn't see much), lighting upgrades, etc. I guess I'm looking for the cliffnotes of lessons learned, directions to avoid, pitfalls to go around and so forth.

I'll be relocating from Texas back to my home state of Colorado and want it to be a functional vehicle for road as well as trail.

For some parts

I picked up a set of wheels today from a Tacoma. Is there a reasonable brake upgrade? I'm sure new rotors would go along way. When I stab the brakes my wife looks like Michael J. Fox after a redbull binge.

93. I'm dragging. I cleaned it yesterday, meant to throw pics up today, got a deal on some wheels. So my partner (2yr old son) and I loaded up and headed off to grab the wheels, didn't get back until late.

Few pics.

Factory undercoating on the frame - no signs of any offroad use, ever, I've looked!

The ass-squat may be coming from the 4 Tacoma wheels/tires in the back
