I like the creativity but its not for me. Good luck on the fabrication though a bobbed 2 door 4runner is a rare truck.

I'm looking forward to seeing it completed with some proper tires under there. Those looks like 33's on there right now.

Love the 2 door 2nd gens, wish I coulda found one when I got mine. Suggestion though from one of my never goeing to happen ideas with my extra Pathfinder... cut whats left of the roof off where it overhangs where the back windows used to be and have a cover made with a window built in? One that would go with the lines of the chop... just a suggestion and kudos for cuttign somethign people are gonna cry about since it's not the everyday 4 door.

Aww damn...you beat me to it, i have never seen a chopped and bobbed 2 door.
My plan for my 2door is to chop and bob it once it gets some bad trail damage. I was hoping to be the first to do it
Lookin good, cant wait to see how it turns out.
