Yeah, defrost won't be an issue for you then. Have you looked to see if there are any kits to convert to full window power roll down like the Tundras? That would be even better than the slider.

Man, are you sure we aint kin? Haha, I have thought about getting a tundra motor/window assembly and fabbing up to fit my needs but got overwhelmed. I think the hardest thing in that mod would be the gasket to accomodate a roll down window, and still not leak. I bet I would lose a few inches of rear seat as well doing this to allow for everything, but then again I havent seen the Tundra system to know for sure how large/small of an area is needed. Damn, looks like I have another thing to look for while at the pick-a-part yard.

Found a Tacoma who did it, says there's an article, but the site is down.

Looking at the diagram, I don't think you'll be too bad. You basically have two options, pull fuse F114 and lose the heaters at the mirrors. Or the defrost line will be hot and fused at 40 Amps.
