rear door mods

You could probably get a hitch & a small used trailer cheaper than modding the rear glass.

Ldub, thats exactly what i was thinking, tow hitch and a lil 4x6 or 4x8 trailer, and you would not only keep from potentially messing up your vx, but also you'd have 10x the space even if the back door mod was a success.

I'm dreaming of the styling possibilities...matching rims and paintjob, of course, but what sort of body and/or shell?

This is what they make roof racks for. A Thule rack (or another gutter mounted rack) mounts to the stock roof rails with no modifications.

Be sure to get some ratchet straps, they are worth their weight in gasoline.

i agree with nazrat, i would go with a roof rack to hook em down to...but i also like the look of the roof rack when there is no wood on it so thats also a plus =)

I'd go with the roof rack. You don't want to mess up your interior and door hauling around all that wood. I also think the hitch and small trailor sounds like a good solution as well.

However, It would be awsome if we could open the rear glass on the back door. I'd imagine gas milage suffers greatly driving around with just the driver and passenger windows open. It would be cool if the wind had some where to go to prevent drag.

I'd like to have the rear window roll down into the rear door, like the Toyota 4Runners and the old full size Ford Broncos used to do.

Also I'd like to have side windows to tilt out so you can open them too.
