    Im trying to make sure we don't get too far off the real issue here. We dont need to clog the thread up with nonsense.:D

    On that note, OP, do you have a cutting torch?

    Mike Sweers and Toyotas design Engineers failed to address this design issue with the 2nd GEN trucks which in turn has caused an uptick in sprained backs and spinal issues associated with not having a modern design that automatically closes the window, I'm getting ready to file a class action lawsuit against Toyota Corp for pain,suffering and unfair business practices.[​IMG]

    I think you could benefit from a suction cup and some paracord. Might need to throw a pulley in there somewhere too.

    Toyota corp. should have supplied a stick you can use to reach the button, you've paid over $50k dollars for a vehicle they should have thought about this issue you'd think.[​IMG]

    My hopes are that Toyota representatives are monitoring this site in order to gain information on owners dissatisfactions and address them immediately with TSBs and Recalls before my Lawsuit drops.[​IMG]

    I’m glad that my setup doesn’t look like that. I would be turning off the Park thingy while trying to open the rear window. Why didn’t they just put it on the door like the rest of the window controls?

    Ooooo... start questioning the Toyota engineers and they won’t let you have another one mister! Just wait until the Gen4 comes out and you’re looking in from the outside...

    It’s bad enough that I crank the heat instead of engaging the 4wd. There I was...stuck in the snow and sweating like a whore in church. A70A6899-7112-42D1-8548-04EDD6CD0579.jpg
