New to Toyota and this forum

1986 Turbo SR5 4x4 X-tra cab automatic, sunroof. Approx 110,000 miles on it, bought this truck a year ago, it was sitting since 2003. Box sides were horrible but found a used box with ok fiberglass boxsides. I cut them off and some good bed floor sections and had body shop do the rest and is now in primer and just brought home. Fortunately I found a great tailgate for it with raised letters matching box too and old original rusty one maybe a sign in my garage?

Changed all fluids, leaking valve gasket, full tune up, complete new gas tank and fuel lines, new brakes and found some very cheap Tacoma rims with good LTX Michelin 265/65r16 tires for $200, why not?! Some minor exhaust leak somewhere...Interior decent cool seats with that turbo logo on it and is all power everything including attena. Sadly though, it came with no door panels or switches for doors/windows both sides.

I have though an excellent set of spare doors manual crank I maybe able to swap trade for inner panels.

So I'm brand new to Toyota and I'm going to need this site to trouble shoot no turn signals and find out little stuff what works and don't. Thinking of spraying it gray like original but would love to find some appropriate vintage stripes for it and keep it pretty much as is ...

Considering my other Toy (pun intended) is a C10 squarebody 406 EFI done nicely, I'm jumping into unchartered territory with this one, first 4x4 too, but I'm loving this little truck with its cool stance!

looking forward to seeing what's what around here... Any suggestions welcomed.
