SOOOO the other day i was driving on 276 (local highway). Well i passed a new chevy avalanche and the intire rear window was down ...it blew my mind and i liked the idea of it.

My question to all ranger owners is simple... Do you think this would be a dumb thing to waste my money on trying to be the first one with a rear power sliding window? Or would this be badass ?

 

It would be badass as hell! Worth the time, aggravation, money... No. I wish I had one though

 

tundras had them too

 

i think it would be so sick but hard as hell

 

be different and do it haha,it would be sweet

 

or ya could get this
CRL POWR Slider FOR 1998+ Ford Ranger 4 Door (Quad) Cab

i wanna get it eventually. turning your arm in that awkward angle to open and close the rear slider is undesirable. lol

 

Deciding whether its worth it is totally up to you. You have to think of how much you will use it.

It would be nice to have, but I wouldn't use it enough to justify the cost

 

I just want a sliding rear window period

 

Yeah that would be sick.

 

tyler thats cool but i want it to be completly different something that not many have. im gonna find someone with an avalanche and take it apart see how they have it hooked up and then go from there

and ben if i do this and when i do this ill sell you mine if ya want i have an 04 so if that works for yours then game on if ya ask me

 

I just want rear pop outs on the back two windows in my truck and i'd be okay, a sliding rear window would be nice

 

those pop out windows would be a cool thing to do .. you think they fit in a 04?

 

Theres a thread somewhere on here that says what year they stopped (its like 00 or 01, cant remember) and yeah I think they'd fit but It'd take some figuring I suppose. I'm not all too sure as I havent seen too many pics of rangers/Bseries trucks with them in it.

I do know that the 97 F150 my dad use to own had them in it but I think those Hinges might be a bit big for the small window of the ranger.

 

avalanche windows are just pop out, not motorized or anything, undo 2 clips at top and fold down and thats it.
the entire back wall actually comes out...

sport tracs have power rear windows though

 

Are you sure the new ones army like power cause I couldve sworn I watched it go down

 

i dunno about the new body style, but those uglier first gens had a window that popped out and a mid gate that folded down. the glass fit somewhere on or in the midgate to protect it.

that link, i'm not gonna drop $400 for something i can just reach back and do. yea it's a wierd angle, bah. it's for a split second.

 

I have a sliding rear window and 2 side pop outs :-)

 

Mine is an 04 as well so should be no problem... But hells yeah I would buy it provided i dont find someone to swap with before hand or find one at the junk yard

 

Your best bet would be to take the rear window and surrounding sheet metal from an explorer sport trac and do a whole lot of body work.

 

someone mentioned using a sport trac before and the back wall's plastic is wider then ours to accomodate for the motor, linkage and room for the glass.

 

cool idea but i cant imagine youd be able to refit your rear panels after you fitted up the motors and such
