  • Rear door gas strut mod

    Found this and thought wouldn't it be good for a 120! Have emailed the guy and waiting for a response. Anybody local to this guy?

    Don't you already have a door strut that locks?

      Quite right Woolley but a gas strut would stop the door from slamming shut when parked on a hill etc...

        No gas strut on a 120, only a lock.

        This would also stop the door from flying open and busting the hinges.

          According to the blurb it assists in opening the door and keeping it open.
          So I would imagine that to close the door you would be pushing against the strut.

          Cheers.

            Anybody in Sydney want to loan a vehicle to see if it is possible?

            Thanks for your email.

            I would need a Prado for a day in my workshop to figure out where to put the brackets and what strut to use.

              Watching this space! Would be great if he can make it fit. My rear door has sunk and has a cracked seam.

                Peterpilot should be near him.

                Clackers, hope that youwill get the crack repaired. I don't think the strut will help your situation now

                  Very true AMTS! But I've been quoted 1200 to get the crack re-welded and door fixed, so if this can be done, its cheap insurance not too happen again (hopefully!!)

                    It would only cost you your insurance excess fee if you accidently backed into a pole !

                      I'm with D4D the worry is not holding it open, the lever can be locked for that. Its more about protecting it when you open it on a slope, mine has really slammed open on me a couple of times now.

                          I was wondering why my premiums were so high.
