I had a feeling if someone planted the idea in your head you would research and come up with a good one

Adding to wish list now...

I wonder if it will help with removing frame rivets??

I would say a grinder and a air chisel would take care of those.

Another alternative, build your own induction heater.

Induction heater

The discussion about the induction heater in the "CLCC tech day 3/23" thread intrigued me. I was surprised at the $$$ for the unit and the $$ for the coil kit. So I did a little bit of research and this is what I came up with. WARNING: If you already own one of the $$$ commercial induction...

@iptman Sorry, I don't have it anymore. It went to a new home a long time ago.

We went to the beach three weeks ago and, 15 minutes before our departure, the driver's window on the 62 wouldn't go up. Doh! I taped a plastic bag over it while the family waited patiently in the 100 and I left it to its fate for 8 days. It held with some help from the neighbors.

I finally got around to getting into it. @emorth had helped me to replace the relays in the door four years ago, and when I say help, I mean Ed replaced the relays. I assumed that was the problem as that is a common gremlin in a 62.

I pulled everything apart. The switch, the relay, and the motor all seemed to test fine so I plugged it back together and it worked. Hmm. I'm assuming there was a cruddy connector that got cleaned in the process. There was no ground in the door to clean.

A whole lot of work in 100+ heat index for a whole lot of nothing, though I suppose that is better than finding a whole lot of something.

I need to add relays to mine

You can replace the relays on the factory board. Check this thread FJ62 Drivers Power Window (AutoDown) Relay Fix

Niiice, I hadn’t seen that thread before. Good to know.

I was thinking of this one which outlines adding relays to the passenger and rear doors to fix the slow windows and locks. It’s on my to-do list. Also going to add sound deadening while the panels are off.

It is probably just a motor issue. I replaced the rubber window guides and the motor on my driver's door and it is lightning quick. The motors just get worn out.

I came home Sunday afternoon from a weekend of cleaning in Va beach to find my son and his 2 friends replaced my bumper with a HFS and a winch plate as a late Father’s Day gift.
