I got this product & installed it today. I am impressed with the quality & ease of installation (fat people might not want to do it themselves) and works great! Happy with it & with spending the coin.

Window Rocket 80 series Land Cruiser
Window Rocket solves 80 series power window deficiencies while increasing reliability. It installs without any modification to your vehicle in about 15 minutes.

The LHD w/manual transmission option is now shipping.
Thanks!
take apart the oem switch and clen it , it will make big diference , contacts on inside turn black from arking and it makes poor contact
It's a neat bit of kit all packaged cleanly like that, but it's ultimately just a 15v buck converter and a bosch style automotive relay... like $80 of parts all together that anyone could wire in themselves. Y'all that want custom versions can build one in about 20mins, less if you use a wire crimper.

If you can build a better product and sell it for less- I will fully support you in doing so!
I can't give you the answers though. And I'll caution ya- You're off track a bit. You'll need actual time measuring and testing stuff and I think it would probably help to re-read this thread a few times and pay attention to the stuff I wrote about making the plugs.
Also- You'll need to wait until September 2026 to buy some of the terminals to assemble these. I'm kind of a planner type of guy and I noticed that one of the TE terminals had the potential to sell out. So I bought all that exist in the entire world from every supplier there is so we don't have to worry about that.
In other news- I'm shopping for a 98-02 100 series for testing and product development. When I get one I'll see if we can come up with Hundy version of the Rocket since I get a few emails a week about them.
Also- International buyers- I've been shipping these USPS International Express. This can take anywhere from 5 days to a month and USPS shipping to Spain has been especially problematic. I can ship DHL, but it's more expensive.
For those outside the US- Is DHL reliable for you when buying from the USA?
Thanks for the support everyone!
I've got enough work on my plate to sell, you've got no competition from me. I just thought it was funny people asking for custom versions for X and Y reason... like take it apart folks, it's just off the shelf parts. As for the connector likely going NLA (**** TE they do this a lot now), I'd just hard wire the thing for my own LC, it's no showpiece.

This was brought up earlier in this thread.
Nothings going NLA. Just regular post 2020 supply chain stuff.
@PIP thanks for producing a true plug and play product that works. The plug-in relay connector is first class.
@PIP this is an AWESOME product.
I’m one of the oddballs – left-hand drive 1997 HDJ80 manual transmission with ABS. The windows absolutely rip up and down now- I just haven’t figured out where to stash the unit. I’m thinking immediately to the left of the steering column.
@PIP - does the unit get hot/can I wrap this in some Toyota open cell phone from the interior noise reduction kit? I’m afraid it’s going to bang around and be all noisy under the dash.
I’m half tempted to extend the wires 3 feet and hide it behind the clock in the center of the dash.

The intention of the remote mount version is that you zip tie it tightly to something out of the way of rubbing or banging on anything.
The module doesn't get hot- You only use power windows for a few seconds at a time.
I know….i just haven’t found a good place to zip tie it. Yet.
The zip ties you sent are bomber, BTW.

I've negotiated rates with DHL and will be shipping all Window Rocket orders outside the US through DHL air express. I am hopeful this gets packages to customers more reliably than USPS International Express and significantly faster (2-3 days vs 2-3 weeks).
Update: the module tucks in nicely next to the steering column. I haven’t zip tied it in place yet. It seems to be happy and quiet right where it is. I’ll drive like this for a while and then report back if it needs to change locations.
I'm going to need to find a different location for when I buy one too, as the usual mounting point on my RHD, is exactly where the LPG ecu is mounted. For now, the LPG is staying installed, I may decide to remove it down the track, but hoping there's somewhere else I can mount the window rocket.
Just installed mine (LHD, ABS) less than 10 min install, works amazingly well. My runs are garbage, I got replacement runs to install next, should be better than new.
