Hello Daryl, are you going to inform us on the how to for this mod or sell the products? Some of FJ enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting your reply. Thank you and blessings
Sorry again for the delay on response.. Keep forgetting to check the account. Thanks for all the comments. Been super busy with work and short on time. My shop will be producing a new set of doors (we'll actually be modifying my Blue FJ's original doors) in the next month. My plan is to place a video camera over the work station to provide a detailed view on how it's done. I have several sets of glass already produced along with molds for the door panels. The original set of door panels are made of carbon fiber, but Fiberglass can be used as well. The only change to the new set of doors will be the small skinny fixed window to the rear of the power window will be see-through and framed in. I'll have to figure out the cost of the parts (glass, window motors, door panels) and I may consider offering the labor after discussions with staff. More to follow soon.. Thanks, Daryl. Also I'm on Instagram at darylralison.
+Daryl Alison So these are completely custom doors? The windows look very good, 100% OEM. Unfortunately, with the FJ platform the rear door is both the anchoring point for the shoulder harness and the front door latch. Swapping the entire door for a new door, carbon fiber or fiberglass, will mean that you cannot count on your seat belt anchor to stay attached or door to stay shut in the event of a collision. Have you considered the potential liability you'll assume by selling these doors? These is no price you could put on them that would allow you to actually crash test them, I think you could have a serious problem on your hands. I am in no way bashing you, I am just really curious if you have given any thought to this. Not to mention, the platform already had to have re-enforcement brackets added to the door in a recall because shoulder harness anchors were already pulling out of the stock doors.
I'd love to see this done with a rear window as well!! Having all 3 rear windows power down would be sweet! Currently, I can't open the rear because of my ladder.
All I can say about sun roofs is they are beautiful, but just like a boat is only a hole in the ocean that you keep pouring $$ into So is a sun roof, once you open a hole to the elements, its only a matter of time, until they find there way in, and totally ruin your day! I've had my fair share of sun roof fails, and now that Im wiser I'd much rather go without one.

Ok, so you've molded a new trim from the old. You probably had to de-skin the door's inner metal frame, and you built a custom frame for the existing fj window, or were lucky to find a frame from a different car (maybe toyota) wiring a switches would be straight forward... So the motor and window guide are the hard parts.. If you want to sell a kit im in, otherwise I'll be designing my own in about 2-4 months from now. Would prefer if we can work something out. Great work
Yea we are starting a series on installing another set on a 2014 FJ, this time we are making a series on the process, we will also have a Buddy window kit assembly available soon. ruclips.net/video/g1L91FkcxDQ/видео.html heres a link to the first video
Wow, thats awesome. Im sure it was not cheap but it looks sweet, your dogs must be super happy. Im looking at the FJ Freedom Windows at present for mine. Im thinking they will be more in my budget range. Thanks for sharing.
+Gamma Boxer Sorry for the delay... Thanks very much, yes the boxers are much happier.. lol and the Freedom Windows are a way more affordable option and a good product for sure. Thanks..
Hi there gorgeous FJ! I am going to buy a TTUE very soon. Would you mind sharing where you got the parts and specially that window? Do you have more pictures to share? Looks beautiful!
Daryl I would love to have that access window MOD done to my fj could you give all the details like a detailed list please an what kind of show did the MOD for you that k you very much
Sorry about the delay but we are starting a series on installing these on a 2014 FJ and will be offering a solution to those looking to get there hands on a set. Just stay tuned!
This is the only thing that puts me off buying an FJ......I want my dogs to be able to look out when travelling slowly sometimes....any more info anywhere on this mod ?
meh I don't feel like there's any more benefit to having the clam shell door windows powered basically just gives you bigger side windows. I think the more worth while mod would be to power the rear window that way you can actually have legit airflow thoughout the cab.
We are nearing completion on a kit. We had some setbacks but we feel we've sorted everything else out and may finish it up this coming year! You can check out the build series on our channel under playlists.
Daryl Alison Very nice and clean job , but I don't understand why you didn't make the whole window to go down. that little piece you left to be stationary is a waste of the whole area. other than that you did a wonderful job. Now could you make the whole glass go down or is there a reason why you went your way ? and if so are you selling this product ?.
Sorry for the delayed response. No, sorry I’m not selling this conversion. The reason for not making the entire space go down, is simply because there is not enough room. If you look at the door in the open position you can see why. The door is too narrow to accommodate the entire space for the window to drop into. Thanks.
We have a build series on this project. This video was showcasing our first run at making these doors. Years later Daryl wanted to do this again but keeping costs down for the average consumer. We are nearing completion of the series. If you'd like you can check our playlists and search for our FJ Cruiser build.
If you check out our FJ build you'll see we are currently developing a kit for FJ owners. It's been in production for a while but we are pretty sure we have turned the final corner. When it's ready we will release another video with the details.
Toyota could have easily made something like this an option. But since they didn't we had to! We can't wait to have a finished product to take to market.
We have updates coming soon. We are working on the pricing currently. We have the window glass and are very close to finished. Make sure you look at our full list of videos to see the latest on the FJ Buddy Window System. Thanks for watching!
Soon we will have a window kit assembly that you can take to a fab shop to have the work done, make sure to subscribe to stay on top of when they get released
Hi, our original plan was to use existing doors. It took an enormous amount of work and custom fabrication to build them. I had to have custom glass made, custom door panels and used power window regulators from a Ford Extended cab truck. My plan was to offer custom fabrication but realized it was going to cost too much and no one would be willing to pay $7000.00. The other problem is there was the liability issue. Since the rear doors serve as the anchoring points for the front seatbelts, my attorney said it wasn’t a good idea to build them. I will be posting a video on my here soon, showing pics of the fabrication work, since I’ve had so many requests how we did it, to help those who may want to give it a try on their own. Thanks
We assume most of our subscribers would like to check out our other videos before asking us to hold their hand in navigating the wide world of RUclips. Our mistake. You are still welcome to check out the newest videos (since this video was made so long ago). We even made a playlist so you don't have to do too much navigating or trying to figure things out on your own.

I would like to buy this product. Please get hold of me with Price and logistics. I live in California. jshaghaf@yahoo...com
Daryl Alison I would pay a lot of money for those
Daryl Alison hello, do you sell this setup? If so, how much.
Where can I get the motor the hardware to make the side window go down
I'd love to see this done with a rear window as well!! Having all 3 rear windows power down would be sweet! Currently, I can't open the rear because of my ladder.
Love that you did that. That is a perfect mod. That and a huge sunroof. Beautiful.

@@JustDriven did you see my question?
@@JustDriven Hello Daryl, are you going to inform us on the how to for this mod or sell the products? Some of FJ enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting your reply. Thank you and blessings
who did them? and how or where can I get them for my FJ?
First I have seen with this mod. This should be standard. NICE job!
Amazing work on the rear windows. Toyota should have made that
Ok, so you've molded a new trim from the old. You probably had to de-skin the door's inner metal frame, and you built a custom frame for the existing fj window, or were lucky to find a frame from a different car (maybe toyota) wiring a switches would be straight forward...

This is f’in rad! I’d love this in my FJ but wouldn’t wanna do it 😂
I agree I'd rather pay to have it done right .
so all these comments of how you did it or where, still no answer on that?!
They fabricated it. I think its a one time mod. ruclips.net/video/x_69vQJ64kE/видео.html
We just bought our teen daughter an FJ and would love to do this for her! Are you offering to do this in your shop? If so how much?
Such a cool truck. I should have never sold my fj.
That's a cool upgrade!
Daryl Alison, any update on producing this for sale?
Hi there gorgeous FJ! I am going to buy a TTUE very soon. Would you mind sharing where you got the parts and specially that window? Do you have more pictures to share? Looks beautiful!
looks so much better with those flares and without the two tone colour. The stock flares look crap.
Great mod, this should have came done from the factory
Daryl I would love to have that access window MOD done to my fj could you give all the details like a detailed list please an what kind of show did the MOD for you that k you very much
Wow! I love your FJ!!! 👍

We are working on getting some details sorted for these so we can release them to market. It's been a long road.
Wow thats nice!!!!
Nice.... I want a set
I thought about doing this but I had a Webasto sunroof put in
Amazing

And a left nut. But that's all.
how can I get this done. I just bought an FJ two weeks ago and I need this mod in my life ASAP. Thanks in advance
How can I do this? I am on the verge of selling my beloved FJ ONLY because the back windows dont go down for my dogs... who did this for you?
💕
You can make do windows open at a Honda Element.
The Honda Element is an underrated vehicle.
Link to more photos of your truck or is there a mod list? Truck looks sick!
+Feint Thank you! I don't have any additional links, but will work on the mod list.. Thanks!
Superrrrrr COOL saludos desde 🇲🇽👍
How can we get this window??? Can we order it??
I bought a FJ cruiser.
Do you know a shop that will remodel this rear window in Japan?
Dope!!!
Now how can u sell me all the parts
Waiting to see if there is any movement on this project for consumer sell.
We released a video last week with details.
@@JustDriven
This is the only thing that puts me off buying an FJ......I want my dogs to be able to look out when travelling slowly sometimes....any more info anywhere on this mod ?
Any idea what model or size those three round lights are along the center of the front bumper? And those carbon fiber doors sure are something else.
thats cool wow
Bravo. Built not bought
Now just to get rid of the ginormous C-pillar blind spot and we're golden! :-)
I want!
nice work
+ra3o0ody1 Thank you..
i wanna one for my FJ how much cost you?
donde puedo comprar este mod, gracias.
How are you doing buddy this is a nice mod for the FJ what is the cost of the kit for the two doors?
meh I don't feel like there's any more benefit to having the clam shell door windows powered basically just gives you bigger side windows. I think the more worth while mod would be to power the rear window that way you can actually have legit airflow thoughout the cab.

Carbon fiber interior ? Nice
The whole interior door panel was made of carbon fiber. The new versions are more simplified but hopefully more affordable for the average consumer.
What kind of bumper is that? Looks very similar to an ARB bumper.
so much want!!! . . link where to buy?!?!?!
Nice where you get that and how much and what about the carbo fiber door panals
Wow, who do I talk to to get this done?
What LED light model did you install on roof? has it been reliable over time? any issues with wind noise?
It defiantly had some wind noise but the amount of other things going on it was hardly noticeable
Where can buy it
You selling them ?
How can I get one
Perdona los vidrios pequeños bajan o tu lo hiciste hacer

How can I make my fj like this?
I don't see why Toyota didn't do that in the first place. So stupid to have rear passenger doors without windows that roll down
Has he ever shown or told us how to?
Yes, take a look at the entire series of the Buddy Window System. 👍🏻
@@JustDriven ty 🙏
How much did they cost
I realy realy want it
Can u add a back door?
hey mate it's me again, how's production going? i am interested to know where it's at i am ready to bulk buy.
Is that fj diesel?
That would be a DJ 😆...lol.
Hate it when people post mods and don't provide a write up or parts needed to DIY. Lame.
We actually have a whole series dedicated to this project. We really love getting comments without searching. Lamest.
