I know that when im whelin and im on the gas water will go through the butterflys because they wil be open. So i think i'l just disconect the linkage for when im wheelin, This way the flaps will stay closed. What do you guys think?

uhhh... thats an air intake for a 4 barrel carbuerator, right? If you have a Tacoma, as in your user name you are fuel injected. IMOP it would look like ˟˟˟˟˟ on a 4wd toyota, but to each his own. Of course I'm not sure how you're even going to use it or hook up a linkage, or plumb it to the intake, etc.

with the angle that truck is on compared to the angle the picture of the scoop is on. I can't get it on the truck and make it look like it should be there in Photoshop. Do you have any other pics? perhaps a straight on shot of the truck?

T750... are you looking to have this scoop live, as in hooked up to the airbox?
There's a thread here somewhere where someone posted pics of a guy making a "normal" scoop on a later 4Runner live. The person did it with a number of runs of dryer vent hose and melded it into his air box. It looked, ummm, ugly.
You'll need to provide enough hose length so that the hood would still open, and you'll have to force the "folding path" of the hose such that it doesn't pinch or lay across something that will melt through it (like a header).
Also... the thread here did the math to figure out the airflow and came up with it actually being _reduced_ with the scoop.
And... Remember that the style of scoop that you're looking at will be _HEAVY_ and that weight will become a factor each time you try to raise your hood.
If you're dead set on doing this, then it can certainly be done - it's just a huge hole in your hood and four bolts, but I doubt you're gonna get any performance out of it.
I found pics of the 4Runner, I'm still looking for the thread:

If you had a transplanted Ford or Chevy with a carb. I think it would be accepted,
Otherwise I too think It would look bad.
Now if your hell bent on purchasing it, I have a Nova that it would really look good on.
