Take a look here: www.bigrun-dunk.co.jp/
They seem to specialize in 4Wheeling stuff, but they are in Japan and they may be able to help you. Another place to check is junction185.com.

I think it's an Elford bodykit. Well, front bumper at least. Le has it on his 2nd gen. He doesn't post here anymore, but I've seen his car at car shows around here way back when I used to go. Be prepared to back your project with a LOT of cash. Just that front bumper is over $1K. I think the entire kit would cost around $3-4K. Then you gotta lower it. Then you gotta get wheels.
A company called Shuei also makes kits for the 4Runner. They're all in Japan though, so it's going to be hard to get them, and they're going to be crazy expensive.

Other Options
Here's the Elford Kit your looking for:
Elford Surf Hilux 185 99+
Don't know how sold you are on that exact kit, but here's some other options worth shopping:
APIO Accolaer SURF 185
Shuei
Various Designs from a JDM Show
Toyota also has their own factory kits, but I have been unable to find them anywhere. If you do, drop me a line:

Elford Surf Hilux 185 99+

Yeah I was expecting to spend around 3k for the front and rear bumpers...maybe more...but it'll be a unique look. Only reason I don't go for the lift, well for two reasons. Reason number one: I like the space of the runner but I like to make it into a street runner. Reason number 2: My car is 2wd...haha. Thanks for answering my question NW4Runner. If I'm not mistaken, didn't you used to have a pretty fast runner a while back before you blew your engine?

I think it was either jason burtman or lloyd gomez that gave me a quote of $1500 about that same bumper a while back.anyways give them a try, it may take a while to ship here but they can probably get it

I think I might reconsider if I can get the JDM Hilux Sport kit. I just don't know if the front valence can just replace the US front valence. That'd save me alot more than replacing the entire bumper. For those that haven't seen what the JDM sport front looks like, here is a picture. If anyone has any info on this, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
This is the front...I'd do it minus the lexus emblem.
Heres the back...minus the chrome and lexus emblem.
I still think the Elford is pretty sweet but then I could spend that extra money on a supercharger or something else. Post the opinions please.

Its just a different way to look at the runner. People in japan don't always lift their trucks. Although they do and when they do its much better than how we get ours done over here.

I dont see anything wrong with personalizing your car and that 4runner does look nice. but IMH, i do think its an overkill and WAY, WAY too much money spent when you could have gotten a Lexus for that kind of money. I, personallywould have gotten an audy quattro wagon..................

Love the front valance in the JDM Sport pic but like you said, I don't think I would have the chrome. The back looks tacky and too boxy. The Elford kit is nice also, but it's a little too much for my taste
