That would be cool to see!
There's two '55's at the wrecker where I'm going today, one has barn doors and I'll see what the other has. Do you want parts if it has a manual crank?

ideally i'd like to find a way to do a manual crank override if the power motor went out
Don't think that would be possible due to the worm gear on the motor. Only way I can think of this working is if you attached a shaft extension to the drive motor and then a 90 gear box with it poking out the back.
Could probably do something close to what there is for sunroofs when they have issues.

got to talking about this when talking to arthog about rear drawer systems. i mentioned that you'd have to leave at least a 4" gap between the drawer and the tailgate because if the motor ever failed, you'd have to be able to get the panel off to unclip the window and get the tailgate open.
then we started talking about the manual crank windows. iirc, the handle wasn't permanant. you could take it off or something and the mechanism the handle went to was behind a plate? that's my poor memory tho.

The trucks in the wrecker are either barn doors or power window.
There's one at the wrecker! A green one this time. Do you want it? I'm not sure I'll be able to get out there before I go to Miami in a couple of weeks. I will, however, go there on the US thanksgiving holiday as that holiday is not observed by Guatemala but is observed by our school.

is the lock arm on yours still good? someone took off the lock arm, but my key cylinder is still good. i'll take your old one when you get the new one if that part is good

Too much to do...
My FJ55 was halfway torn apart when I got it, and I have never seen one up close until then, so I actually don't know how the back gate works!! I know the door handle opens the gate which swings down, but how does the window work into the equation? Does the window have to go down in order to lower the tailgate, or is there a frame around it like the crank window on an FJ40 front door? Pics would be amazing, a video would be pure gold. Since I haven't seen a completed FJ55 up close, I might be asking a few questions like this until I get her all together. Thanks!

there is no outer frame like the door windows. the window must be down to lower the gate.
to see what it looks like, lower the window and drop the gate, then press the "safety switch" on the left side pillar and roll the window up. the "safety switch" looks like a door dome light switch (spring loaded button switch).

Inge, you are more than welcome to what ever parts are left after I get the lock working; I will have to take a look at the door but believe the arm might be intact
Lou
cool thanks lou.
There are several interlocks in the mechanism. The door MUST be closed (or the overrride button depressed) to operate the window and the latch handle is blocked until the window reaches the bottom so you cannot open the tailgate till the window is down.
Lou, I won't be making it to the wreckers again before I go to Miami so the fuel door will need to come after November.
