Thanks, I make it up as I go. Those pics are close to what I think it will be. At least for the roof, back and part of the sides. Im debating replacing the side windows with armored glass in the back, or just putting bars like an mrap over the stock glass.
I have two other 4runners I'm combining for the next build. That one will look entirely like a military vehicle since the firewall and windshield is all I plan to keep on the frame. Actually more like a personnel carrier with three rows of seating. But I need to finish this 4runner first.

This is Awesome! Sub'd for sure.
Cool project, but how much weight do you anticipate all of this will add? Is the drivetrain up to the task with the expected weight gain, not to mention the power plant? Or are there planned upgrades for those as well?
It's actually a lot lighter than it looks. I've probably added less than 200 lbs when you subtract the weight of the stock gate And what I've cut out. As for mods to address it, the air lift makes me forget there's even extra weight in the back. I totally recommend it. I would like to add a super charger someday though.

Thanks, I got the idea from a handgun I saw. I'm thinking about adding other OD parts now.
Funny you mention that I had a 1911 that I assembled in OD/TAN. I am thinking about making my 22lr ar15 that color too.
That's cool, I may need to color one of my rifles to match the truck.
That would be sweet.. Make sure to take a picture of both together if you do.
Thanks, as for the door knob, it already broke internally. I'm going to come up with something original to replace it with soon. It was nice having my truck door use the same key as my house though. ..
Just built a rationing water faucet for a camping trip this weekend. Silver soldered a fitting onto a stainless container I picked up at the thrift store. Then I added a valve and shower head. It makes the water in this container last for two minutes.
Should be good for the kids washing hands and brushing teeth. It also can hang from a tree or canopy. Plus it's easy to clean.
