did some work:

So this is for 96 and prior rear window or 84-01 side windows.

First clean your new window (mine came from a Wagoneer).



then instal your gasket around the window:



and make sure it is seated all the way around:



grab smaller diameter rode/twine/cord and wrap it around the gasket, this will help pull the gasket over the lip in on the hatch/body

enlist a little help and have them hold it while you go on the inside to seat the window



make sure he is holding good and tight



and then start pulling the cord and making sure the seal is seated properly



and enjoy your new window




tinting soon to be done by a professional to give my 5% in the back again

Made some quick disconnects for the door speakers. Might cut the hinges for removable doors after dinner if its still light out. Otherwise, that will be tomorrow's project.

did you use spade or bullet terminals?

if you did I would replace them with trailer connectors (can be had for $4 each). the spade terminals will not last long

I sat there wondering why my interior upholstery smelled like dirty-sock-stinky-feet while waiting for my Taco Grande Supreme to be made especially for me exclusively at Taco Bell.

Awesome... I see you're a fellow geek. Yeah, those will probably hold up great, just put some di-electric grease on them and they should be fine...

Yeah... it was given to me as a gift.
Pretty beefy... annoying that I have to use knurled bolts. Its going to be a pita to find a suitable replacement for the one I cross threaded.
But Im not complaining...
