Thanks for the info. Its appreciated

Thanks for the input guys. My budget definitely keeps me out of the Benz, but the FG4x4s look interesting. I'll look more into those. I know the t100s are scarce and can be pricey(compared to similar year trucks) , but I like the size and there is a familiarity there due to my previous...

So, I am looking at buying a T100 as my next expedition vehicle and after looking at G100's build thread(very cool by the way) I have a question. How wide does the stock rear-sliding window on a T100 open? I have looked around on the internet and have not found an answer. If anyone out there...
