Not gonna lie, as soon as the 25 year mark hits I'm so importing one. I LOVE that 2 door look..
Brochure for a '13 model
Looks like a manual in this one

Note the logo on the grill. Not a GX, but the little sister, Prado.
There has never been a 2 door GX, only in the Prado version.
Although, it would be pretty cool to see someone do a complete re-badge of a 2 door into a GX!
That'll blow some minds on the highway!
This might be the only vehicle to fill the VehiCross-shaped void in my soul

Could 2 doors get kdss?
I don’t think I’ve seen that listed in any brochures

I figured it wasn't, but having KDSS on a 2 door Prado or FJ cruiser would be amazing if you were doing a minimal lift build.
What a shame we never got these in the states. I can guess why we didn't, but IMO this isn't really a comparable vehicle to some of the other 2-door SUVs that have bombed in the USA. Most of them didn't sell because they were pieces of junk, not because they were 2 door. Jeep still sells plenty of 2 door Wranglers, so there is a market for it.

There was the early Rav4's that came in 2 door.
One can't help but wonder of the feasibility of doing a 1UR V8 swap into one of these. It must be possible and not that hard if you had the 2-door Prado and a wrecked donor GX460. That would be a fun little rig.
They also made the 2-door for the Prado 120. They'll meet the 25-year limit in 2027 for a 2002 model year. That would also be a great swap candidate with a wrecked GX470.

I think the 6 speed transmission with its .59 6th gear would be great as well.
6MT in the Prado 120 version with a VVTI 2UZ-FE would really be the ticket, if someone could figure out the electronics to get it to work. It looks like the most basic 2-door Prado 120 only had a curb weight of 4,100 pounds. Such a light rig with a V8 would be a ton of fun to drive and have some real wheeling advantages.

Before march I would have said the same thing. But the lines I am getting away with are only possible with an auto in some cases and I am a stick shift diehard. Would much rather have the stick shift for the canyons and passes, as well as gravel fun.
AT is indeed much better for wheeling (for my post, I was referring more to the light weight and small size of a 2 door Prado). I wheeled in a 5MT Subaru for a long time...no low range and no low-end torque....and 26.5" tall tires
. But, I got pretty darn good at picking lines, and still apply that style when wheeling in my GX.A MT can be good wheeling with an appropriately low first gear in the trans and ratio in the T-case. Case in point is my tractor....it has a MT but is more or less impossible to stall in 1st gear, low-range....the engine just overcomes the brakes.
