    I sat in a brand-new Taco inside the dealership in 03 or 04. Four door sunroof fully loaded with a drop down back glass window and I was looking at buying it but seemed too much $. So when I got my Supra back I traded it for a Jeep. True story.

    No offense, but unless you got a pic I call BS. Only way that could have happened is if for some reason they had a custom shop do it, then displayed it to show it off

    Locally there are large dealers who have in house customizations

    At that time, many dealers used aftermarket subcontractors . ASC was the largest company who did aftermarket sunroofs for Toyotas and Acura/Honda during that time

    I couldn’t specifically speak to who did the work at whatever dealer you were, but both of the “options” you mentioned , were never offered in North American Gen 1, 4 door by Toyota from the factory.

    CR Laurence makes or did make a power sliding rear window that you can swap in.

    The tacoma never came with this option since it would take a complete redesign of the back wall. Think about where that big glass panel has to go.

    EDIT: I saw that someone did this years ago by grafting the back window/hatch from a 3rd gen 4runner onto the cab of a 1st gen tacoma. Maybe it was on customtacos.com. I have also seen some 4runners turned into "trucks" by moving the back window forward to the c pillar.

    Why you dragging me into this? I love 1st gens, but I don't have one. o_O

    Correct and correct.

    It's why swearing isn't good, nor are witnesses always reliable. Even under oath.


    Around the time you were dating Laura Croft?




    It's been fun.

    I need to go pull some weeds now. I'm on my annual summer hunt for dollar weed, so I can save up enough dollars to go sailing in Italy this fall. True story.

    Get the guts from a 3rd gen 4 runner and use your stock window?
    I love the slide down window in my 4runner.

    I go to my local junkyard all the time and take parts off 4runners for my Taco. Especially door and window rubber. Dealer wanted 100 bucks for door rubber. Got enough off a 4runner for 2 doors for 5 bucks from scrap yard. 4runners are highly under valued
