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...

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.
