So my window would skip and not drive all the way up, Ive read these motors are underpowered. Mine turned out to be the gearing stripped a bunch of teeth, but has anyone ridden themselves of the motor replacement by upping voltage to the motor?

yeah, lots of people have rewired them with heavier gauge wire to overcome the high resistance. there is even someone that sells a kit to do it. You really cant up the voltage though.

so thicker gauge wires and maybe a lower resistance relay?

I had two 500' rolls of 8 gauge lying around, so I ran new + and - into each door. I used the stock switches to control two relays per door to get the reversing polarity. Thats it. You dont have to go that heavy, Its just I was using up stock I already had.
