Not anymore, but I was a cop there back in the day. Drove these:
But the original question stands.

Maybe, but that's not the question.

The answer will probably be no. But if you were to give a try, call these guys:
Armored Cars, Bulletproof Vehicles, Armoured Sedans & Trucks
FERAL 4R

Scour the interweb...I've found at least 4 companies that can/will armor it for you... ($$ Cha-ching $$)

As an aside...Best vehicles I've ever driven in Iraq and A'stan was the up armored Land Cruisers.

Funny, the second link you provided doesn't even have the same 4runner in the 6 pics they provided. There's an SR5 and a LE there.
On a related note, [MENTION=108986]Jack19[/MENTION] may we ask why? or will you have to kill us afterwards?
I'd really like to know how the nose dive is handled afterwards? 5100s set at .85? or will I require coil overs with 700# springs?

Their is always the Icon option. You can tell them the estimated weigh added to the car is going to be and they can adjust the suspension to your needs.

Do you think wheel spacers will help? Or will it make it worse because of the leverage the tire/wheel now has over the suspension?

Ha. Add 2 tons and you now need custom springs lol.

I would highly recommend staying away from the spacer and contact Icon first. The weight of extra security can be quite extreme. I would rather have a well built suspension for all that weight. It can be quite dangerous when you cut corners on stuff like this. Also may think about a brake and tire upgrade. Btw if Icon doesn't cover the amount of weight being added King or Fox would be my next step.

If you need armor then you sould look into a Land Cruiser. Armored up, they are the choice of diplomats, drug dealers and oil barons the world over.

Not a 5th Gen... But still great work. I've used some of their vehicles in my previous life. Good stuff.

200 series Landcruiser armored
i have seen armored 200 series land cruisers and i'm not sure i would want one for my own ride. The windows only roll down slightly. I like to be able to roll down the windows all the way.
