ya i think the pickup would work good but may be hard to find. i found a 3rd gen rear door on craigslist and had the guy measure it and it pretty much the same width as my second gen so right now im leaning towards that but tomorrow ill call around the junkyards and se if they will let me cut off the back section of the cab

ya i know what you mean about making you want to go out and do it. but before you do think everything out carefully that was my mistake, i cut the sides down a little bit to far but oh well i think it will all look pretty good when i get done.

still looks good when you bought it! I just can't wait to see the finished product. I think I'm gonna start planning this at the beginning of 2009 and get started on it in the summer months.

It's now a "double-cab 4runner"...VERY nice chop!

Your going to have to get creative with those rear body mounts and make/drill/weld new ones...or cut right up to them.
Here's a couple pics from a local guy that did a full body bob...
