Man that last picture freaked me out for a second.
Awesome job!

Booger Weldz · 11-11-2008, 05:02 PM

WOW! built that body from scratch or bought and detailed the heck out of it????

superman180 · 11-11-2008, 05:49 PM

Take a look at the build thread, it started out as a hilux body and was highly modified.

I followed that build off and on. I love that someone finally got that conversion right. Most of the hilux to 4 runners end up looking like a trekker with a 2nd gen truck front end, his actually looks right.

Yep!

Been talking to him myself. I've always wanted a source for second gen pickup / first gen 4Runner bodies. Unfortunately, this is a 1-off and out of my price range...
