MontanaManche Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Hey so I was looking into getting a rear slider window (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ARJXUM/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2VNERJJQ7ERIT) but I'm curious how far the slider opens, I'm looking for something I can use as a passthrough between a shell and the cab during the winter so I don't have to go out in the cold at 4 AM in the middle of the woods. Does anyone who has this window know if that's possible? I'm not a very large guy, about 5' 9" with a 32 inch inseam. Also I've seen the fitment seems hit or miss based on what I can find, is this just installation error or should I shy away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eaglescout526 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Ehhhh I wouldnt try to fit my skinny butt through that window for kicks but if I was in a situation I would give it a shot for sure. It looks big enough for me to slide through and I am about the same build as you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete M Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 with as tiny as the cab is, I'm wondering if that's even possible without injury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Strokermjcomanche Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I think you'd have to install a limo window to make that be possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MontanaManche Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 Maybe if a bring a few tubs of Vaseline whenever I go camping I can make it work. I think I'm just gonna go for it, I could use a new rear window anyways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse J Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 now I want to go see if I can fit through my stock 3 piece slider. I am 5 10 and 125 pounds I could probably fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ghetdjc320 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 The double slider is probably about 50% bigger opening than the stock 3 pane. Airflow is really nice with everything opened up. I could fit through it and my picture is floating around in the pub section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I have a tiny waist (28, 32 sized pants). My truck is, go through it diagonally, have one side of your body at the top of the window, the other side in the bottom corner.

I got lucky and found a stick long enough to fish the keys from the ignition when I locked them in. My '86 K30 on the other hand.....hell I've been thru that rear window a whole bunch!

Pete M Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 if you want a true pass-through, ya gotta get creative there's a guy in Mexico that's installing a ford explorer sporttrac rear window (and the associated sheetmetal). pretty sure it rolls all the ways down in the Ford. he just didn't show that.

Pete M Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 normally I'd say a couple of these might do it, but I was young once and could eat an entire pizza and not gain an ounce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muncher Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I'm 17 so it works pretty well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
