I was wondering if it was possible to make the lift gate window roll down into the lift gate like the 90s model Broncos. What would yall suggest on how to go about doing this. Also wanted to know the best way to wire up and install power windows and mirrors. I do plan on keeping the 89 doors because I will be putting vent windows in them. Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't know if there is enough room or space for the rear windshield to drop down. It would be pretty cool if it did but probably take wayyy to much work for what its worth.

I've asked that question before, you already have two more responses then I did.
I wanted to do this because my dads old suburban had a electric rear window and I thought that was awesome.
Probably be easier to make it removable or add struts like with the lift gate.

This has been asked many times before, the inner structure wouldn't easily allow for this modification. You would basically have to start from scratch. The vehicles that have that feature usually have a much thicker hatch and a much different interior hatch design

Dang oh well So what would be the easiest and best way to install and wire up power windows in the front doors as well as power mirrors?

Get power doors with power mirrors

If you want it out that bad you could just actually remove/reinstall the glass every time. It's pretty much just a matter of pulling the gusset from around the glass and they're fairly prone to popping out on their own anyway if you slam the gate too hard.

How would I wire them up? Could I just run power from the battery

Run the main power window control wire to the fuse box.


Hot rodders have been adding power windows for years...

good luck..

ok and I know they have been but from my understanding they use a kit and have more knowledge with wiring then I do.

The easiest methond, would to buy Jeep doors that have power windows.

You would have all the parts to put into your doors.

Your fuse box probably has a spot for power windows, even if your

Jeep does not have power windows, if not just use another fuse spot

like the cigar lighter....

good luck..

Older grand wagoneers came with roll down windows in the hatch but it was a pretty bad set up if you ask me becouse the window crank to roll down the back glass was on the outside of the gate. You'd prolly have to find a set up like this. Gut your hatch install the parts and make a gasket to fit inside we're the deal goes and get and get a window made.. It would be more work than its worth.

Ya Iv noticed they had that set up but I dont see the point if you have to manually roll the window down. Iv always liked the roll down rear windows but I think you are right Id have to much work to do to make it work that itd just end up being a waste of time.

Dang that sucks thanks for the warning. I wonder how they worked it around to where they could safely do this with the broncos.
