      Window Rockets are in stock. This Window Rocket fits LHD and RHD 80 series made with ABS brakes. Final assembly has been streamlined. Trimmed some labor here and there. Lowered some of the parts costs with higher volumes. The new price is $265...

      I feel bad for all those dogs whose heads are gonna get stuck because they've been cutting it close all these years just as the windows roll up ever so slowly :rofl: . Pip did a great job of explaining this product.

      Safe to assume then that there will be a solution for RHD with no ABS when the dust settles on this?

      I installed a Window Rocket in a LHD FZJ80 with a stickshift and it fit fine. The one I installed it in didn't have the assist springs on the pedal. Austin's pedal does have the assist springs and was shaped differently from the one I did. The...

      Thanks to a member sending me a link to this thread! The Window Rocket is my product. I'll start by answering a few questions- Austin didn't do anything sneaky in his video. He's a stand up dude and calls it like it is. I told him about the...

      If you really want to here it running, tou could get a used, wide tyre. Plonk the engine down in the middle of it, and start it sitting cradled in the tire with a couple of straps, one each side to strap the engine to the tire so it can't tip...

      Troubleshoot: A portion of the blue (first photo) is the support bracket for the fuel line (has the weird 10 x 1.5 thread bolt- all other toyota 10mm bolts are 1.25). I would clean before removing anything to ID what is leaking. Also, it looks...

      I would make sure the window glass is adjusted to spec before installing the rocket. I think the guy in the video adjusted glass and installed new runs judging by how smoothly that window opened and closed. I’ve had my rear glass pull out of...

      Says the guy who lives where it never gets cold... This is a bigger issue for some than others, and where you live is a big part of that, lol.

      Guess I'll be the gunnie pig... mine is coming Saturday. my windows aren't super slow right now, with the warm weather, but all but halt in the winter and need help getting past about half way. Austin is local to me and while I haven't met...

      I saw the video on my feed this morning as well, which lead me here. I'd love to hear from someone who has it.

      IanB reacted to mudgudgeon's post in the thread Interior heat from engine unbearable with Like Like.
      This. My hdj81 was manual trans, but on a long trip everything gets heat soaked. A lot of heat comes up through the floor pan, abs through the trans tunnel. There's very little insulation on the floor. I insulated under the carpet with a...

      I sometimes experience the heat on the console when driving but it’s not unbearable. While attending GSMTR last month, the initial climb, which was on pavement to get to the start of the trails at Windrock…..yes, saw trans oil temps climb to...

      A '91 will be a fully mechanical A442, TC lockup only in 4th. Basically, driving with a trans temp gauge, you see trans temps rise anytime the trans is working, and not in lockup. Climbing grades in lower gears, makes a lot of heat!

      North American 80 series came from factory with trans coolers, HDJ81's did not for some reason. Especially with a turbo upgrade, an external trans cooler is probably a good idea. That being said, I don't think it's going to help at all with the...

      Chipped away all the old sound deadening as it was impregnated with oil and permeating thru the carpet. Installed new stuff. Took forever! Spliced the wiring into a junction box where it will split to the diferent lights and trailer wiring from...
