There are literally hundreds of ideas on the WWW.  Both rebel/insurgent and official forces.  The HiLux is widely used by police, military and paramilitary forces worldwide as well as being freely available to rebel and insurgent forces.  You're limited with doors-open ideas because of the interior tub method of construction

 

search for things like "gun truck", technical pickup", "armed totota", special forces pickup" etc etc.  There are some extensive military conversions.  Look up Jankel.  Also look up the Czech SF wagon with the DshK gun ring in the back and PKMs on door mounts.  MMK kit this, but it's a complete kit not a conversion.  If you like irony you could model a broken-down insurgent HiLux being captured by a govt forces HiLux.

 

Depending how original you want to be, there is now a variety of stowage and weapon after-market parts, replacement resin wheels, crew figures etc etc.  

 

I was thinking at one time of doing one with a recoilless gun in the back: AFV Club US M106, Trumpeter Chinese copy, or the MiG B11.  Problem here is very limited ammunition availability.  Verlinden did an M106 ammo set that would also work with the Chinese version, but it's almost impossible to find.
