I know these kits have been around for a while now and they have been talked about here before but I just installed mine and what a difference! I was building new doors all parts purchased through wild horses and instead of going the wing window route, I went for the one piece kit. I have always felt cramped in my bronco being a taller, larger guy and these windows rolled down compared to my old wing windows makes it seem a lot less stuffy. Everything went together great and when I had a question about the install Mike was really quick to get back to me.

If building doors from scratch (not modifying previously working window doors), You will want to order up the lower bumper and bracket, lower window felt track which needs to be modified to fit around the upper window frame bolt and window cranks. I'll post the link to those

How to modify the tracks if doing what i did

On the doors, both of these need to be cut out for the window strip to fit in place. I used a cutting wheel and a new blade to cut them out

Then you have to make room for the different regulator. It sits flat so you have to remove the recess and drill a hole for the top mount.

Only "customizing" I had to do was on the driver side I had this nub interfere with the window going all the way up and I had to take a flapper wheel to it to keep it from making contact

They definitely change the look. Just couldnt change the mirrors too. No doubt they are far more functional.

The ultimate is to get this with removable frames running topless. I imagine the front window channel would have to remain for support.
