i didnt know where else to put this, so i thought this would work so that you guys can check it out.

this is what i started with

then i put it on a 2wd truck frame


then i put my 20s on it to see what it would look like



just welded the body mounts onto the frame that are for the 4 runner, next im gonna paint the frame an try an get the body back on by next few days or so

 

Dang lookin good. So noe there is two people doing this type of build on here now. So what did you do with the 2wd body?

 

Wow thats cool. Are you gonna bag it or static drop it? Very cool though.

 

Damn you! I'm jealous I want a 4runner badly

 

Just curious...why would you wanna put a 4runner body on a 2wd frame?

 

To lower it or bag it. Even the 2wd 4runners front end hangs way down an you wouldn't be able to lower it much. Drop the 4runner body on a 2wd frame and you can bag it just like a truck an would just need a Z in the front an trany crossmember an your layin frame

 

Thats some pimp sh t, I know thats gonna be bagged

 

yeah nice 2nd person to post a 4runner body on 2wd frame looks awsome

 

i fill like i need to do one of these now

 

i have the cab out behind my shop

its gonna be static dropped,


ya i have been wantin a 4 runner for a while now an it to be static lowered, now i am finally doin it, i cant wait to get it done

thanks guys

 

Nice man.

 

This is awesome. I almost made my truck a 4runner. Do you have any pics of doing the body mounts or from the swap. This is cool.

I would love to build a 4 door 4runner, 22re, 5spd, RHD swapped truck static'd on 18's or 20's. Perfect daily.

 

I've always wanted one bagged an bodied roll up to a party an lay it out an have the boys jump out would be an eye Catcher

 

ya i can take some pics of the frame. all we did was carefully cut the mounts off the 4x4 4runner frame then cut all the bed and cab mounts off the truck frame leaving the front two cab mounts and the front radiator support mounts. then we set the body on the frame and lined it up and mounted the body mounts from the 4x4 frame back to the body and tacked them in place. after we tact them we set the body back off and burned the mounts in and cleaned the frame up. we did cut the rear frame rail off about a inch or so to clear the rear body. we also cut the top off the center cross member to clear the rear floor board and replaited it with 1/4' metal. it is goin to have a 22re, 5spd, an static'd on 20s

ya one day it will prolly be that way but right now its gonna be just a static daily on 20s

 

Yeah on mine I actually moved the whole entire cross member back. I moved it back to right before the frame rails start to kick up.
Before:

After:

 

here is a pic that i took today of the rail where i put the 4 runner body mounts on, ill get some more when my phone aint actin up an will upload them

 

I'm very jealous looks good man

 

if you wasnt so far away i could prolly pick up a body fairly cheap for you if he has one

 

Damn it. I wanna get outta Cali bad lately. Those runners with blown motors still goin for 2500 nd like 2000 with a blown head gasket

 

damn that a lil high, i was just on craigslist here you can pick up 2 runners i think it was 2300, but i got mine for 500 with a 2wd frame but i had to take the body off myself an who i got it off of want the motor, tranny, running gear an suspension
