Rubi smubi..... we're talking HUMMER's here Impy[8D] you 're on the wrong forum again!

best way I know is to rent a trailer or a pick at Lowe's or Home Depot and haul it yourself or have it delivered.

If you're really bold, just slide it sideways through the rear windows and take up ALL the road. just don't forget the red flags on the ends, you don't want to break any laws.

I agree, a power window in the back like the older bronco and blazers would be way better than the fixed window or a liftgate. It'd be nice in the summer to have that rolled down along with the windows and the sunroof. I'd also like to have the all the rear seats fold flat so i could camp inside the truck. My wife's vibe does that and even though I hate driving it, I can get way more stuff inside it.
I actually had an old '86 Bronco in the late 90's that caused me nothing but trouble (let alone it being a Ford). The rear window rolled down like discussed but it seemed like it always leaked. Had a friend with a 4Runner that had the same problem after it aged. We both changed the weatherstriping or had it changed but it still leaked. I really liked the roll down window and could never understand why so few do it now until I had one. I do like the tailgate on the Rubi though.

On the topic of lifting the tailgate, the H2 tailgate lifts up and my girlfriend is 5'2" and she closes it just fine. The swing out tire is another story.

I agree with everyone that mentioned either angle it to stick out the window or just cary it on the roof.

Roof Rails or Roof Rack!
Or on the roof itself... just use some padding

I've had my K5 for years and the only problem I ever had with the rear window is thebottom of the frame bending and getting caught up on the motor. Never any problems with it leaking.

I think if the tailgate was left just like it is and the window rolled down it would be set in a frame in the tailgate so it wouldn't be any more likely to leak than a typical door window. (GM we know you read these forums )
