    You should be able to get a lower valance from any body shop. Most shops get their parts from a company called "Keystone" cause they are cheaper & for being aftermarket oem parts they fit really good. Oh & that 2wd smoothy bumper will work with the 4wd fenders...it wont site as low as the 4wd bumper & valance, but it will fit. Here is a pic of one...

    Not 100% smooth, but it is a 2wd bumper/valance with the 4wd fenders.

    it probably wouldn't be too hard. cut the window channel from the 4runner hatch out and weld it into the back of the cab, then install the slides and motors. how similiar are the 4runner windows and the pickups glass?

    thats what i like about mini trucks! nobody cares if there is mud on it. when i was having my 66 mustangs body restored i was freaking out about filler on dings and replaced almost all the sheetmetal to keep the mud down. at the local shows everybody always asked each other if their cars had mud on it.
