- Had an issue with the driver's side rear door opening strap catching my water tank and also the units. This gas strut mod is simple, cheap, and very effective.

Brilliant idea. Just ordered a strut and will fit it this week 💪

@AXISUK I ordered it on amazon, costs more but next day delivery so I went for it

@@AXISUK Getting there slowly pal.. Thank you
Itching to get back to routine
Mint 👌 need to do mine when I’m back . That went smoother than a John Smiths 😜🤪
@@vandox21 haha makes a change being a simple 10 minute upgrade 🤣
I need one of these for my transit custom. Had take strap off and some times forget and door swings around 😂
😂 its a ten minute job! I just make it look hard 🤣😂
@@AXISUK it’s just knowing which is the right one to get
@@marcoantoniomoreno2055 not sure on the size of the Tranny doors but won’t be far off if mounting points are in a similar position
I have been looking for a solution for my Custom too. This looks like the ticket. The Custom doors are a bit curvy at the bottom (2018 new shape), so I guess they would have to be attached at flat panel height. Also I’m not certain how far from the hinge to mount them on the floor. I think I’d be inclined to go for a stronger strut to prevent the wind pushing the door closed?
@@freereed6102 best way to test is temp mount them to factory stuff that’s on the doors/floor and see how it shuts. With regards to the strength, 100nm is quite strong and I think anything more would be effort to close.
Nice touch mate
@@urbanarkoverland Cheers 👍🏻 definitely needed if you can’t use the straps.
What length/strength gas strut did you use?
So for the off side door I used an 850mm 100nm strut and for the near side door I used a 950mm 100nm. You could probably get away with a 1000mm on the near side depending on where it’s mounted.
Great tip. BTW where did you get the door pockets from
@@GrahamGphotoParker thanks. The door pockets are from Vandermoon 👍🏻
@@AXISUK Wow. quick reply I haven't even finished watching the vid yet 😂 Cheers
@@GrahamGphotoParker haha was online when it popped up 🤣
I'd do the other would be smart both on struts. Would it move your door ornament though 🤔
@@smedley24 🤣😂 looks like I’m doing the other one now as I would never here the end of it 😂
More mods than soft mick 😂
Looks mint, can you do one on a caddy? 😂
@@caddyboyz 🤣😂 money pits these things!
You could probably jack up the caddy with that strut 🤣
@@AXISUK 😂😂 id want as a booby trap for wannabe thieves 😂
Nice, did you get the idea from the MuleVans strut mod that they started a few months before this was posted.
No it was actually from a Facebook group that did it well before said company did the mod.
These have been about for ages.
Have you got a link for the struts and brackets please.
@@leewatson7822 yeah they are both in the description 👍🏻
@@AXISUK thanks 👍
What language is this? sounds familiar...
@@szokatlan_szerep wiganease bud

🤣 you speak from experience 😂
