    Question: Driver side window won't roll down

    You're probably hanging up on one of the two stops on each side. Window probably went too far up and slipped by one of them, but now it doesn't want to go back past it. There is a little bit of play side to side. You can probably get a light and look down at an angle and see it hanging up...

    Ok, its official...

    Try some shorter tires The 2.20 and 3.35:1 ratio are a bad first gear combo. I can't imagine anyone being happy with it. You might try a shorter/fatter tire to bring the diameter from about 27 to 26 inches, ie 235-60-15. That should help it about 4%.
