Window Rocket - who’s tried it? (13 Viewers)

[COS80]

Quick update on where things are at-

There will be 3 Window Rocket versions covering most 80 series variations-

All 80 series with ABS brakes including LHD and RHD gas and diesel.

LHD 80 series without ABS

RHD 80 series without ABS

If you have a stickshift LHD 80 series and you have ABS brakes, you may not be able to use a Window Rocket. If you remove your ABS computer you can use the LHD no ABS kit and it will fit with your clutch pedal.

Which one's appropriate for a LHD 80 that had the ABS deleted? The ABS one?

If you completely removed the ABS computer and brackets, use the non-ABS kit. If the ABS computer is still in it then use the ABS kit.

Looking forward to placing an order for my '92!

Got mine today and installed it after work. Took less than 20 minutes. All i can say is WOW! what a difference. Not only do they go up and down fast as hell, i can actually roll up more than one window at a time. If i try to do all 4 they still bog down, but you can do any two and the sunroof at the same time with no issue. I have swapped out all of the motors and guides with very little improvement. This almost seems too good to be true.

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 . Pip did a great job of explaining this product.

Where should the ABS computer be (previous owner did the delete and this is my first 80)?

It is located just above and behind the driver side kick panel on both RHD and LHD 80 series.

It looks like this:

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

Probably still too much for some of you cheapskates.

Later this month (2-3 weeks from now) there will be Window rockets for FJ80's and RHD 80 series without ABS. The mounts are prototyped. Some revisions will be made and production will start in about a week.

Thanks for all the support!

The conversion from USD to AUD at the moment is going to kill us Aussies with the price :-(

Feel free to send me a bulk lot of them to distribute for you here in Australia haha.

Nevermind, I just noticed it's for vehicles with ABS. Mine is an FZJ80 non ABS.

Definitely worth it

I can get some pictures up next time I'm working on it.

The FJ80 mounts mimic the original Toyota ABS computer mounts. Some 80's will need holes drilled to mount it, but it puts it in a great location where Toyota didn't mount anything else across all the 80 series variants (AFAIK).

I've got the prototypes programmed and formed up on my cnc press brake and made corrections to the geometry so it fits perfectly. Waiting on a test batch of the revised parts. Once they're bent up and they fit properly I'll get the production batch going and write instructions.
