Let us know! TAILGATE or BARN DOOR or ONE BIG DOOR! 👇👇👇

[@juststuffwithwolfe4482]

Barn door

[@jdsbuilt9651]

One big door is kinda annoying when a trailer is attached because it can hit parts or the trailer, and barn door and tail gate are Both equal with pros and cons each to their own ig

[@willrogers5713]

barn door every time

[@jonnewton5929]

Big door. I've had them on 2 outta 3 of my forby's. Spare on it and drop down table. They just work. Cheers guys

[@TheEnfieldGuy]

One big door that lifts up...like on the WK2 Jeep Grand cherokee.

[@paladinjosh8272]

Was expecting a more thorough 80vsgu comparison. Was more about the 80 at the end very little mentioned about both vehicles capability, weakness, pros, history etc and liability. Otherwise the video is still good with both nice rigs

[@kiefeha6293]

Love a tailgate. It's a bench, it's a table, a storage compartment and can serve as a rain shade/sun blocker. I remember as a kid, just sitting at the back on the tail gate and just watching the beach or the view whenever we went on camping trips. Just that nostalgia that makes me love a tailgate.

[@ala_gonzie3387]

Is it just me or did Patrick get way too excited about talking about doors

[@peterj5751]

The single big rear door is a real pain if you tow anything, the can swing with real force if you are on a slope and as mentioned earlier, can sag. I’ve had all 3 alternatives and they all have pros. I love the tailgate most but the stretch into the back is hard work.

[@glennhook2180]

I love my GU, but I've always been jealous of the 80-style tailgate. Now with those couple of cons you mentioned I'm not as jealous anymore! I had a pajero and I was fine with the single door a lot of the time, but with my camper trailer on I couldn't open it and that was frustrating.

[@RichieHProductions]

Each door has their pros and cons I wouldn’t really say one is better than the other. Did you consider using a sheet of stainless or aluminium instead? It would give you the same outcome but able to put hot stuff on? Cool upgrade regardless

[@andremoritz3339]

It also wouldn't scratch as easily, thus trapping less dirt

[@reecechristian6185]

At least half to have something hot and stand on that wouldn't be a preparation area as such would be 👌

[@rhyss8580]

Loving the videos guys. Unfortunately I have low vision so just can’t see enough to get my license but love going wheeling with Dad and my mates. Your videos have been giving me great ideas for mods to do on Dad’s 90 Series Prado. Keep up the good work.

[@merinofarmeragriculturewor4623]

Barn doors are awesome & I upgraded mine to put a spare wheel on the door & put a table on the inside doors .. FJ75 75 series Landcruiser troopy 1985

[@claynahon4489]

Honestly like both door styles. I've got GQ rear door and love it, setup a fold down table on one side and water dispenser on other and also love the land cruiser barn door because tail flap to work and put shit on. Great vids guys keen for more!!

[@AOE5578]

I like Nissan patrol y61 tailgate doors due to ; 1-The small door give you fast access and easy to open 2-The small door when open it give the car cool looking , the Toyota is more like family car doors ( the feeling) 3- The side Nissan door give you some privacy and windshield 4-The one door system is large for tight spaces (e.g small home garage) , Nissan much more practical of all 3 cars 5- Actually you can open the Nissan small door while the car is driving at ANY SPEED and throw nails under or use the gun if you at mafia business or at wars ( kidding , but true you can open the door and do things)

[@DarcyDevine]

My 85’ Nissan Patrol MK has a tailgate with factory spare tyre/ jerry swing away 🤷🏽‍♂️ best of both worlds? Leaf springs….lol

[@tazin8r]

You forgot the fourth, and I think best option, which is the system on the Jeep Wrangler Hardtop which has the best of both worlds. The upper section of the tailgate and full width door

[@jarethduke684]

Jeep Wrangler, I’ve got barn door with tailgate top, so fold down table on the door with a glass awning 👍🏼

[@robras2850]

Patrol guy here, but I prefer the 80’s tailgate 🔥

[@samartz]

Prado single barn door is the best!

[@rikwilliams388]

You simply can't beat the extra table and sitting space on the rear of the 80, not to mention the benefit of overhead protection, and aftermarket rear wheel carriers are easy enough to fit.

[@tigernatorgaming1969]

Loving the Tuesday uploads keep it up lads👌

[@Jez3134]

If it's got a 1HD, I don't really mind what doors it's got.

[@iampennochio]

You missed the worst one the y62. Big door folds up. When you open it it hits the carport roof. It also hits the roller door when its up. The struts dont last that long because of the weight always pushing down on them. When the fence or the roller door is closed you cant squeeze in and open the door a crack and get inside like you can on the gq, gu its a pitta. I miss my barn doors and gullwing windows.

[@cyclemoto8744]

If you tow, a single swing rear door is no good

[@walkabout_adventures]

Can agree

[@braydenhjort6736]

Know someone who had to take the trailer off every time they wanted to open to door. Terrible design.

[@nasilemak868]

On the 80 series there are factory spare wheel carrier which swings open and aftermarket on-bumper types. Heck don't get me started the rant on Hilux Surf rear door with the key-turn power window ones.

[@AJGily]

I have a swb soft top vitara, with a fibreglass “hard top”, which I believe is the best of all worlds - it’s got the half height swing door, which gives u the upside of the table, accessiblity etc, and then the top opening fibreglass roof door acts as the top door cover etc

[@madcat4563]

Cough. The 80s & 105s also came with barn doors. Every now and then you see one of those Aussie Grey imports where I live. Heck my Dad even had a Aussie spec 105 with barn doors. Edit: In my opinion there is no winner, all of the options have pros and cons.

[@haktic1083]

Some UN spec 200s came with barn doors also!

[@talhaaltun22]

It was the base model that came with barn doors.

[@petersukkar6066]

its called poverty pack 105

[@batmanlives6456]

80 & 105 with barn doors were the povo pak GXL and up got the tailgate

[@micktaylorwolfcreekmechanical]

povo pack got barn doors and vinyl floors with out the good diesel engine now i wish i had barn doors and vinyl floors in my 31yr old 80 my old 3fe engine is better than the good diesel for reliability and the price ive saved on oil changes after 450,000kms makes up for the cost off fuel and piss weak mileage on the 3fe

[@MattBrownbill]

I have option four on my Jeep. A full lift up hatch, keeps rain off your head but let's you get fully in. I am fitting a swing away spare from a Merc ML also, once I get the trans replaced. No time for making snacks 😉.

[@willrogers5713]

barn door is the best👌 try opening your big door in a small garage

[@stephenlatimer1428]

Patty if possibly put the tail gate storage in then put the chop board on stainless piano hinges with 2 latches either end, best of both acc.

[@darrelcole6185]

Hey Patrick, sorry to spoil your excitement but the tailgate chopping board and the little white chopping board are two completely different materials. The white chopping board is made from HDPE while the tailgate one is polycarb. Just make sure that you really the polycarb clean if you chop meats.

[@fourocker]

I have a Pajero and hate the one big door, it's really hard to open and swing if you're leaning the wrong way especially.

[@hoody6954]

One big door! For all the reasons you quoted. Saying that I don't mind the Wranglers set up.

[@testamickle]

Barn door and lift up jeep has both in one and still carries rear tyre and many more. Jeep has a drop down bench and also a roof over your head.

[@ethanclaso3642]

Tailgate because as u said u have a roof, a bench, a seat and no worries about swinging doors in windy conditions and also it definitely looks the best and also yea you need a rear bar to carry a spare tire but it’s a good sacrifice to make to have a bench seat whenever u get to camp

[@mrbeasty5449]

😂😂😂the door might fall on ur head if fails

[@liamlw780]

Love my Pajero 👌🏽

[@davydoo81]

I think you’ll find Land Rover Discovery had the one big swing door long before anyone else…

[@PaddyBoy644]

Biggest fail for the Pajero is the hinges always fail due to the weight and good luck on opening it open in an average car park. Other 2 option are pretty much 50/50 for me I’ve got a patrol so I’m used to the barn door and my wife’s had Volvo XC90’s for the last 10 years or so excluding an Audi Q7 and both work really well.

[@peterstaunton-smith586]

Me personally would have put the storage unit in tailgate then cut/shape and mount the chopping board on top and have the best of both worlds. I own a y61 and love the barn doors, but you are restricted when putting gear in. I would love a tailgate as you can use for a seat, the back window can wind down for animals where as my nissan cant do that.

[@hughyyy1992]

My favourite door style is the pajero, being able to put a large drop down stainless steel table there is a luxury

[@gasguzzler69]

horse's for courser's, my crusier had barn doors my dads had the tail gate. tail gate you can pull up sit down and have some cover, roof top camper top of tail gate closed with a ladder bottom open as a step and work space. barn door's great for spare wheels jerry can water can etc and easier to reach in. maybe they got it right on the pag with 1 big door.

[@thatsurf1639]

Orrr 4th contender to the door situation. The Surf/4Runner tailgate, electric window you can wind down whilst driving as well as having a swing away wheel carrier!

[@micktaylorwolfcreekmechanical]

dont wind down that window whilst driving might be cool but ya filling the car with gasses that will make you crooker than a dogs hind leg

[@jameskeegan]

Big rear door. For the win. I had a patrol and hated the barn doors. Tail gate are also not great for the reasons you have stated.

[@kabaottoemulsion1869]

I think tailgate is more practical for weekly grocery shopping from wooly or coles!

[@SpoonMelt]

Easily the one single door that goes straight up on the y62 patrols. Good access Good vision and a lil shelter

[@old4wds_aus]

Barn door for me, good access to reach far in, planning to fit a fold down table in the future and i like having the spare there to make roof access easier. But the downside is the swinging shut on a hill, defs gonna have to get some struts

[@ethan.p1159]

very underrated colour gu ;)

[@walkabout_adventures]

Blue all the way 👌

[@mmorgz6622]

patrol barn doors id prefer... i have the big mono on my zuk and they are far worse when it comes to being parked on a slope. with the patrol ones, you could just lock it, and both doors would act as a great wind break when cooking. Also you can still open the slim side if you have a trailer on where-as i cant with the mono.

[@talesfromthebottle6314]

You've gotta but anti corrosion goop on the rivnuts before you install them. Those freshly drilled holes are bare metal.

[@bakersdozen5544]

Put the chopping board on a hinge and still have the storage insert under it,

[@jarrod1687]

Btw you need to have your car mod plated in qld if you change your front seats

[@andrevanderwalt2515]

Same here in VIC

[@reecemartin453]

the huge door is more of a pain. tailgate is better imo.

[@ranjithpowell6791]

But there is a 4th option. A rear hatch like the LC 250

[@calamarininjabeast5866]

79 series is the correct answer

[@jameswatts6787]

Both are extremely capable vehicles. Personally I'd say patrol since land cruisers chug fuel and cost an arm and a leg (at least in the UK they do).

[@Jacko911]

Has to be tailgate for the seat/table and roof.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Tailgate for sure mate!!

[@wilhelmuskruize9681]

Barn Doors are the best for they are attached to a NISSAN

[@andrews7046]

those gu wagon doors crack with a heavy 4x4 tyre

[@brucebaxter6923]

Personal choice I guess. I find the barn doors give me a chance to reach in and catch stuff that has fallen. The tailgate is tempting to boil the kettle or cook on, but it all ends up on the rear window. The fold down table on the barn door is pretty good.

[@paulwhat322]

Chopping boards are HDPE. Not polycarbonate.

[@boxheadmr]

Why not a sheet of stainless steel?

[@JasmineLee64]

the pajero for the win!

[@messiahmoin8257]

Essentially

[@kabluwi]

Barn doors > single door > tailgate > hatchback.

[@jm6056]

Twin tailgates for me.

[@li04am]

I've got a 200 and a gu at home. they're both good and bad for the same reasons

[@adhvaithmenon6052]

ive been waiting for this for a loooong time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😁😁

[@noah_ritch_4772]

barn door is easily the best

[@bobrobinson4252]

Got to slow down or post the names of the products and companies you reference.. I had to search and listen a few times over to get who supplied the bench top

[@niftyjim8255]

Who uses ear protection when using a drill? Stf

[@huracanfabrication]

Great job mate, glad you like it.

[@polacoevolution]

80 series forever 💯😎

[@marcelallenke26]

You just made me subscribe because of your opinion on the single swing door as in the prado 🤙 such a under rated 4x4 due to the over compensating v8s 😉

[@mrmoto3088]

Where’s the bloke with the black gq

[@beauspicer5274]

love the videos boys yewww

[@reubenjaye1693]

Just gonna say the 1991 80 series do have retire holder

[@civilianchris]

how do you like the xtm drawer?

[@StephensonJunior8732]

tailgate bc i just like it

[@paulwhat322]

I can't say I agree

[@roguetrail]

sorry, disagree - the tailgate storage would be better. and has an idea, you could then bolt a chopping board to the lid.

[@callumfreebairn8082]

patrol's rear doors are best. best windbreak if vehicle positioned properly!😠

[@Norego.Newzealand]

Only this feeble little chap will get crushed by that little door😂

[@petergill8819]

Tailgate more practical one

[@AKAK-hv1nb]

I've got series 4 gu patrol do they make a lock like the one in the vid for the right big barn door?

[@michaelhermans4753]

No tailgate on the 300 series

[@albeywinning8406]

up the prado rear

[@seanotinderson6165]

Dunno if I’d want a chopping board on my tailgate. Seems kinda pointless. Just take a small one, easier to clean, and doesn’t take up your who tail gate. Or just glue a small cheap one on and still have room for hot stuff or stove

[@mikezog1030]

If you stand on the tailgate to get into the back, you don't want t be putting your food where you stood.

[@hishonoursirdrinksalot1916]

Anyone mention smashing your shins on the towbar with a barn door?

[@ettienneniemann8929]

A "wich is better" video turned into a "whatch me put a shit accesory on my 80"

[@gofaroverland7854]

The ONE BIG DOORS are great but they sag with the weight of the spare wheel and arn't as durable as the other styles.

[@adrianc8285]

Barn doors 💯

[@stevereed6334]

How do you find the XTM drawers?

[@sneaky_possum0596]

love the bud boys keep it up

[@ranjithpowell6791]

You need a tire on the back door

[@Remgrantd]

One big door

[@tysono2012]

80 DX model has barn doors.

[@intimatespearfisher]

Is it me or is that camera amazing

[@justjoe8303]

Sit on it in a pair of shorts after the car has been in the sun for a while.

[@GrumpysBeast]

Especially if you have gone commando and one of your havelock tobacca's has slipped outa the leg of your shorts!

[@user-jh6lb1ji2s]

Pajero would smackem all

[@i_am_mcsee]

I own a GU Patrol, but I must say the tailgate mod for the 80 Series does look good, easy to fit and very practical. But being stuck with the Patrol I'll just say this, well done on your mod, I do like it.

[@ryanpratley3491]

Really? I watched this to hear you talk about rear doors the whole time? I guess rear doors are all that’s on your minds ay. Put door review in your title please
