type body swap into the search engine here... its been discussed quite a bit....

basically you need to relocate body mounts

The 4Runner has 10 body mounts. You will have to make the last 2 or 4 mounts for the rear cause they are on the outside of the frame rail. I have body mounts from a 4Runner for sale so you don't have to build them.

Did you see that build up the guy did in Toyota 4 x 4 owners where he made his truck into a runner?  It was really nice.  :thumbs:
