Default Faster Window Motors??

Anybody know of any Mod??
May sound off but I would really like my windows to go up Fast. I have a supercrew & when were out hitting the dirt @ good speeds & those water holes pop up I'm tired of slowing down after I yell "windows up" & tired of cleaning the mud out of interior when they don't make it in time. FYI I already know how deep the hole is if I'm hitting it at good speed. We all like the windows down while messing around but It's not a "mud truck" I like to keep that on the outside

assuming the window slides inside arent dirty or needing lube wether its grease or dry graphite type lube i dont know?
it might help to upgrage the big 3/4 cables for electrical system.
one guy who did it said he had about 1/2 a volt more power available to use since there was less voltage drop than on smaller wires.
mite not sound like much but it works out to about 3-5% more voltage/power available.
then if you are very electrically inclined , you could research and find a large 12v capacitor and hook it to the window motor to give it some extra current for a few seconds.

Thx curt! You definitely gave me some ideas. I'm an Electrician so I know what your sayin. Tho my expertise lies with A/C, I do dabble in the D/C. Haven't completed the Big 3 yet. I did ground the Battery with #4 to the chassis. I'm gonna do some capacitor trials & see what happens. Thx again.
