Saw something like this a little while ago.
Can't say that I like it - taking as much extraordinary measures making your vehicle to look like another just says to me that you're ashamed of what you have.

I would never do that to a Toyota, but it’s one way to make the hummer reliable!

That's exactly my thought.

I think this would be neat to consider on an old rusted 84 or 85 frame. Take off the diseased body and have a Tummer with a Solid Axle.

They make the tundra conversion for 2nd gen 4Runner's/pickups also
I like the hummer conversion for old VWs. they got hit w/ a lawsuit and had to change their name and look also.

Hummbug

My old boss has one of these and it is so cool. It use to be called the Hummbug but in a lawsuit settlement they renamed it the Wombat. It is basically a Hummer look-a-like on a VW bug chassis. Fun to drive!
