Why do people think the roll down back glass is the greatest thing since sliced bread

Loaded and Loading

R U Kidding me?

If you've got anything on the back you can't open the rear hatch.

It’s just one of those things you come to appreciate over the years… without repeating everything here it does solve some unconventional problems.

Probably wouldn’t miss it if I never had it, but since we do, I would not want to be without it.
 
On the 4 runner it is better than slice bread. Being a former jeep guy the wonderful thing about the Jeep was being a great dog car and adventure vehicle. Offroading and getting dirty, camping, fresh air, big dog friendly but limited space is some of what makes the Jeep so very popular. The 4 runner back window sunroof windows down isn't the same as a Jeep but it is close and you have more space. My dogs are much more comfortable in the back of the 4 runner and the window down features gives them the ability to chat with other dogs and people in traffic. Dirt, fresh air, and adventure isn't that what owning a 4 runner is really about?

Heck it's the only reason I bought the outdated, gas sucking, weak horsepowered thing. LOL!!! I use it every day except rainy weather.
 
My 5 year old thinks it is the absolute coolest thing ever, next to her grandmother’s hard top convertible M3.

I like being able to roll it down and poke my skeeter yeeter out for target practice when its cold or hot out. Just turn on the AC and plink in comfort.
 
Feels great to open the sunroof & put the rear window down 6”-8” when I’m leaving for work at 5am on a disgustingly humid summer morning here in Georgia. Useful tip: tapping the up or down side of the dash switch moves the window incrementally.

And there are the times you spend hours at Lowe’s buying everything needed to install 400 square feet of beadboard ceiling & molding.

THIS!

Have used it during remodeling countless times to bring long crap back and forth; extremely useful.
 
It's nice in the 4Runner but try it in a Tundra, it's glorious;it's also particularly upsetting to the Ford simps with their porthole rear windows.
 
As some others have pointed out- nice for longer items, dogs, quicker/easier access to cargo area without opening hatch. On a nice day with all the windows and roof open it's nice to roll that back window down and really open it all up. Also just another spot in the vehicle to crack slightly and let hot air/odors escape. For me, it's just one of those features that, once having, is hard to not have- even if I don't use it all the time. Yes, being able to control the rear window from the key fob would be great!!

no one said anything about the rear hatch.

Precisely his point... if something is blocking the rear hatch, you still have the window for access.

Edit: [MENTION=132734]MeefZah[/MENTION] you beat me to it.
 
What kind of mount is that you have for your ceiling mounted shotgun?
Big Sky Rack SBR-1

About $100 +/- at Cabelas and similar

Highly recommended. Great for camping in the back. Solid as a rock. Mounted to the bolt holes for the coat hooks. Got one in both trucks.

There's a thread on them somewhere in general discussion.

Yeah, that looks good, secure and solid looking, thank you. Nice Polezei patch too.
 
Imagine if the 4Runner had a panoramic moonroof along with that roll down rear window, now that would be the shit.


Edit: moonroof not sunroof

Panoramic sunroof? Like the Olds Vista Cruiser?
Oh yeah! :pimp:
