is the module well hidden under the carpet or suppose to be easy to find?
looks like im going to research an aftermarket system.
hopefully theres an easy and cheap way to add the ability to drop the back window as well with the aftermarket solution.

My '97 had the RS3000 (removed when a PO put in a Viper system), it was above the carpet with the pigtail and connector coming through the carpet (just a cut, not unlike what my 99 has for the power seat lead). You should know that the RS3000 didn't offer rear-window control, that wasn't available until the Factory installed systems came available in 99 (the RS3000 were dealer installed, sometimes referred to as "port" installed and much more simple).
I suspect you're in for a long, uphill, climb getting a keyless system that will operate the rear window. Probably the best way to go about it would be to scavenge all needed items from a junked 4runner, that is once you identify all the items needed. That will almost certainly be the Cheapest option too, and I'm thinking by a long, Long way based on what I've paid for the little mobile electronics stuff I've hired out (decades ago).
Maybe I'm wrong, having never actually installed a keyless/alarm system (or shopped for one), hopefully for your sake. Might want to think long and hard about if you would even use it, I know I've only done it once, just to see that it worked. Not even sure if I remember how it works (either a long hold or two short holds, I think...) It's like a sunroof to me, try it once and then leave it shut for the rest of my ownership.... simply not important (actually, sunroofs are a major bummer for me as I'm 6'4" and tall through the torso, stupid things steal headroom). Anyway, the hassle might not be worth the cost given the potential use.
