Nissan Patrol GU3 - Barn Door Modifications

In this video, I go thru step-by-step the modifications I have made to the rear barn doors!
I used an adjustable force Gas Strut from SGS-Engineering:

All the fixings can be bought from the same website:
www.sgs-engineering.com/gas-s...
or you can find them on eBay ;-)
You can also get Rivnuts off eBay too, or your local DIY shop! (Remember you will need a tool to fit them!)

Hello, little question about the rear light on your bumper. Do you have some link to found the same ? There cover te hi-lift point is it exact ? Many thanks for answer, cheers

[@matejhosner1980]

Great!

[@boyardengels]

Hey man! Bit of a late response but I only just got my first '98 GU Patrol so I am slowly working my way through the essential DIY mods :) Thanks for sharing, this is great stuff! I did pretty much the same (Part 1) as you, perhaps my drill hole was a couple of mm closer to the original and I used the original bolt, however, my barn door no longer entirely shuts... have you come across this before?

I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I love any assistance you can offer me!

[@luchristianpabotoy6972]

what are the sizes of your wheels? and rims

[@Nineteen92Media]

can you perform snatch recoveries from those shackle points on the rear bumper?

[@JTactical]

Sorry for the late reply. With the right shackles a snatch recovery would be possible... But those ones are only rated to 3/4 tonne.

[@jacobsmith-jj1uf]

The right answer is no, those are tie down points or tow points. They will not be rated for a snatch.

What roof rack have you got on there?

[@JTactical]

It's a FrontRunner roof rack buddy!

[@albousi1]

v good

[@beaufighter245]

Nice job, I've had the door swing back on me so will be doing this mod.. The roof rack, are the mounts part of the rack please or is this a tray to fit onto roof bars? Thanks

[@JTactical]

The mounts are part of the roof rack. :)

What length was the gas strut you used?

[@JTactical]

Hi Zach, My strut was 350mm with a 6mm Rod diameter. :-)

[@danielocampo159753]

can you put up the link you buy both items?

[@JTactical]

I will do... :-)

[@JTactical]

Links now in the description box! :-)

cooll

[@pepivalentinov3923]

This modifications work for y60 patrol?

[@JTactical]

I'm not sure... Maybe?

[@cjsingo5288]

I tried to replicate this on a y61 patrol today with same strut length, not the same clearances available to mount the body end bracket so my strut was reaching shortest point and bottoming out before door fully closed unfortunately.. will have to conjure up a work-around.. cool idea though!

[@dgfish23]

Where can i get a rear bar like that

[@JTactical]

You mean the rear bumber or the gas strut I fitted in the video?

You know there’s a 8dollar bracket you can buy on eBay to extend the barn door 🤣🤣🤣

[@JTactical]

😂 Yeah, I know. But it costs twice that again to get it shipped to the UK. 😑 I think this is a good alternative. 😁

[@benos4x4adventures49]

Those doors will no longer shut fully...

[@JTactical]

? What makes you say that? This Mod has been done since 2017 and I've not had any issues with the back doors not closing fully.

[@benos4x4adventures49]

@@JTactical 👍 I work for nissan. But maybe you got lucky.

[@Umirin1]

they definitely dont, you can hear the door pop open much louder after hes done because theres more pressure on the hinge, that hinge must become shorter and i think he has to slam it to get it shut
