This project, helmed by Toyota’s Motorsports Garage, reimagines the ladder-frame SUV as a two-door semi-convertible off-roader with roots in the original 4Runner and the Japanese-spec Hilux Surf from the 1980s.

To nail the beach cruiser aesthetic, the SUV will shed its roof and D-pillars in favor of a hardtop that can be removed by a single person. It’s a setup that recalls the freewheeling spirit of the original while adding a modern twist. A custom roof rack, purpose-built to haul surfboards, stays true to the Surf’s legacy, with a roll bar ensuring the safety of the rear passengers.

The rear door delete requires the development of flip-up front seats, providing access to the rear bench. Furthemore, the 4Runner received wide fender extensions, a TRD front bumper, a vented hood, Turbo stampings on the doors, and a bespoke sea-inspired livery. The interior has blue-themed upholstery, cyan accents, and waterproof wood-style flooring.

The concept retains the turbocharged 2.4-liter powertrain, eight-speed automatic, and full-time 4WD system of the donor car. Modifications include a louder exhaust, upgraded steering, custom front axles, a long-travel suspension, and a Tundra-sourced rear housing. Finally, the off-road credentials are further improved by the 37-inch tires wrapped around 17-inch wheels.
