1st Gen. 4Door Conversion

has anyone seen a 1st generation 4runner with four doors?

i like the ruggedness of the 1st gen but the 4 doors of all the other gens. so i opted for a '95

If they exist they'd probably be in Japan or Australia.

I would think the second gens are just as rugged as the first gens...

why is the 1st gen so much more "rugged" than a 2nd?

Square body style. 4x4 only. Leafs can handle more payload. flamethrower under the passenger seat. and super sweet roll bar.

Phalanx posted a pic froma korean movie of a 1st gen 4runner 4 door. It looked sick. There was only one pixelated shot of it and not much info. Good luck converting one. Virtually impossible and extremely time/money consuming.

x's 2. thats exactly what i was thinking. i would only attempt that 1st gen to a 4 door idea if you had a butt load amount of body work and a good imagination because i'm kind of having a hard time picturing this.
