Interesting Gull Wing rear window design

[Brick Sprickly]

Stumbled across this company this morning and am immediately interested in these. As far as I know they has no plan to make this for 5th gens (I hope I'm wrong) but I'm going to contact them either way and see if they're planning on a design for ours. Also want to assess interest here in case there's ever a group buy.

Gull Wing Hatch System with Molle Panels (ALUMINUM SET - Both Sides) – yodaTEQ products & designs

The great thing about them is of course the accessibility of cargo + freeing up even more free space but it also eliminates the need of other standalone molle storage panels.

Attach a remote actuator and this would be perfect for attaching a rear facing Minigun or rocket launcher.

Look at the rear windows from the outside.

Then look at the rear windows from the inside.

Notice something?

The actual widow ports are TINY.

Doesn't change anything.

There are some older discussion threads on here. I have to look, someone made a 5th Gen mock-up with talks of production.

IDK about the pre-face lift 5th gens, but the post-face lift(14+) the radio antenna's are in those windows.

Just heater elements.

We have a whip antenna.

are you sure it's not still a diversity antenna? why would they put heater elements in that window?

It's definitely an antenna. There are no heater elements on the side window AFAIK.

100% zero heating elements on any side window in the 4Runner of any generation to date.

My 4th gen had wires in those windows too and they are radio antennas.

Yeah, just checked.

When they replaced my broken rear window, they put an antenna window in it, I thought it was a heating element.
