Interest on Gullwing Flip Up rear windows for the 60 Series

[LandCruiserPhil]

Currently we only offer Gullwing Flip Up Windows for the 80 series. This has been a great product for the true Adventure traveler looking to get the most out of his/her Land Cruiser. Our window have been tested and used from Canada to the tip of Argentina without issue logging well over 100K of travel miles on some of the harshest climates and roads.

As of late a couple 60 Series Adventure Travels have been working and pushing me to create a window for the 60 Series. The set up, materials, finish, and install will be just like our 80 windows needing about an hour to install something you will come to love. Our goal will be at the same price point of $450 per single and $850 for a pair.

The only change to window from our 1st prototype is we now use a double bubble seal resulting a window more waterproof than the factory slider.

Tested by 3 labs resulting in all wagging tongues

Customer feedback after installing a pair of windows

This window saw over 33k miles in South America and the customer installed the other side on there return to the states.

Owner quote - This has to be one of the best mods to my 80 I have done.

Love it! I thought someone had done this already?

Also my 40 series could use some.

I think my only question, would be can the "window" piece be made of glass still?

IIRC Kevin @wagengear very nice product but also very expensive when available. You can also get 60 windows from Australia again with a price.

Not with our design due to the need of rectangular holes, not glass compatible.

this would be an awesome upgrade to the 60's - (the wagon gear solution is pretty sweet...but high price and limited availability is kinda tough)

i wouldn't even consider it though if the kit didn't somehow incorporate using the glass windows. i installed LED lights in the cabin so i can see my gear as the daylight fades...solid metal panels would be going the wrong direction - just my opinion.

When open in the rain, does water run into the truck or run off? Important question for the rain forest folks who would love to have a window like this for ventilation when sleeping in the back, but need to be able to crack the window while its pouring rain outside.

Seems simple enough to either chop an inch off the prop rod, or find another spot to set it on the sill so the "door" doesn't angle uphill.

I'm interested and would buy today. I would prefer it without the glass. I will be in Scottsdale next Tuesday afternoon and would like to see the windows in person. PM me if you prefer.

Plexiglass?

 

[Garrissey]

@LandCruiserPhil I can try a prototype on my 60, Peaches.

It's the best and easiest way to get to a (beer) fridge. I think it's a must have if you have a rear bumper tire carrier. Also a good canvas to add a bit of flair to your truck. The mountian in the background is what my son used for his artwork

If anyone ever figured out how to do a gullwing plexiglass window that also slides open when closed, I would buy that in a heart beat. Used to just want the gull wing window, but I would really like having the window open while I'm driving for the pup.

I am interested in particular because of this point

I think it's a must have if you have a rear bumper tire carrier

Would they get shipped painted/powder coated or bare metal?

 

[MANUCHAO]

I'm game....
With two heelers.... this is a must for us.....

Happy to see you decided to address the 60 series market... hope it get enough interest...

 

[boerboel313]

Rather have sliding so as to have open while driving.

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

For the guys that need/want glass or see through contact Wagon Gear or Emu out of Australia but be ready to pay $1200 plus plus a side. We have done a ton of research and work to get and keep our window affordable for the average guy. We plan to inch forward in the hopes of having an available product by Chirstmas.

Thanks for the input.

Can these be made shorter for cruisers like mine?

My cruiser's rear window is lots shorter than stock..

Once the hardware/sealing is confirmed the needed mod to work for a talented guy like you would not be difficult. Hit me up once we have production model and I can work with you.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
