    Oh there will be some mods all right
    Yet again forums give an example of why I love them so much. Did a little mini road trip with some family today and randomly on our drive my rear windshield wiper quit working and rear window defrost also was not working. I figured it blew a fuse and was kind of nervous because fuses don't blow unless something else is wrong. Got home today and googled 5th gen 4Runner rear windshield wiper and defrost stopped working. Very first result was the 4runner forums with somebody having the same problem and immediately someone said check your rear window and make sure it's 100% all the way up because if it's even down half an inch the wiper won't work and sure enough the switch must have gotten bumped somehow today. I rolled it up that half inch and immediately everything worked as intended. My favorite kind of fix.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    I had some of that last spring on my sliders. I just scuffed it up and put another coat over the bad areas. It lasted all year and still looks good now.

    That's because your rear window doesn't roll down. It's one of the things that makes the 4Runner awesome.

    Also featured on the tundra. Opening the sunroof and rear window is a great combo

    Sounds like someone is jealous that their rear window doesn't roll down.

    When the AC quit on my previous 4Runner, I really learned how to get the best breeze. Driver's window all the way down, passenger window halfway, and the rear window halfway gives a fantastic breeze in the 4Runner. :D

    Now, the only time I use the AC is when I have other people in the 4Runner. Or, if I have a phone call.

    Yeah I pretty much use the AC for phone calls or if the kid is in the car. Otherwise it's windows down and back window open for me
