Feeler: How many 2nd Gen owners are interested in a power sliding window mod kit?

100% yes for a double cab hidden version!

 

Been waiting since you first said you were gonna make a hidden version

You just don't want my money bad enough

 

I'm pretty much ready to pay it forward if that's the case. PayPal straight to your account

 

I'm in...

 

I'm in...let's do this!

 

i voted yes, but i would like to see how involved the work is first.

 

I def would buy one right now. Whats the eta should you decide to put together the kits for all of us?

How is this one different form the one in your other thread?

This version is fully hidden and requires no trimming of the storage panel. It does, however, require drilling a few small holes (1/4" at the biggest) that end up getting hidden.

ETA on the new version is end of August at the earliest. This is based on a 30 day crowdfunding campaign, 90 days for manufacturer lead time, and a little fluff built in.

 

Thanks for the good words. I think your audio wiring setup might be problematic. The motor mounts in a very small space on the side of the drivers side cubby, near the bottom of the cubby. I unfortunately have no photos of the "behind the scenes" guts of the setup. I could probably meet up with a local member who has a prototype in his truck and snap a few pics of the setup installed, with the passenger side storage cubby removed to show what the installed kit looks like underneath. It might be a while before I can do this though -- busy at work for the next 8 days.

 

I'm building a page on indiegogo, one of kickstarters biggest competitors. They seem to be a lot less strict on how projects get presented. Kickstarter is the Soup Nazi of crowdfunding sites.

 

I would absolutely buy one.

 

This is an older prototype of the AC install, but the idea is similar to the current design. The main difference for the AC with the new kit design is that the cables are longer, and the motor mounts to the lower drivers side of the back wall of the cab. Also, the new cable anchor brackets are smaller and more refined. This pic actually gives a you a decent idea of what is involved with the install:

 

can you make a kit that will go up and down? like tundras....

 

there is no place for the window to go

 

yeah, they are $40k and called a Tundra!

 

Negatory.

 

Absolutely. I'd buy right now if I could.

 

Yeah I'm definitely in! Looks like a pretty intense install too. I'm always up for a challenge.

 

Dang, August?! Wow that's gonna be a long anxious wait. I was hoping for summer.

 

The fall is the perfect time for the rear slider to be open.
