Like most 1st Gen 4Runners, the rear window is sloooow up and down. I took it apart, the tracks/guides look good, no broken teeth. I noticed it was a reman motor so it’s been replaced at some time. I took it apart, cleaned up the brushes etc, lubed everything up and it made no difference. I’m going to snag a Toyota motor from the auto wreckers, apparently the left side motor from any Toyota of the same era will work.

I cleaned the inside windows, laid the seats down just because, and found a Toyota pouch with odds and ends, the jack is behind the lh panel.

I removed my rear seat bottoms because I seldom have passengers there, they do not clear my head when sleeping there, and those things weigh 15 pounds each! Then, found a "roll-out memory foam lounger" at Costco. Almost perfect fit (just an inch too narrow) between the wheel-wells. The 1-inch thick firm, white foam is what I use as "bench" pads for rear seat bottoms when I have passengers in the back and double as extra cushion layer for sleeping

the tire carrier is from a pathfinder, PO used plates inside the body panels to mount them, the foam you used is perfect, and I agree, I’ll have to do the same as you and remove the bottoms as I’ll need that room to stretch out.
