Haha.
all of my hinges are sagging. Apparently just like humans, things sag when they get older... :rofl: btw @Kaderabek where's that soft top??? -

Good eyes @AirheadNut, my replacements (OEM Toyota) came to me bare steel, and I just painted them with black POR before putting them in. So yes, @Kaderabek, they may already have been replaced, and maybe everything just needs an adjustment to...

Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73.Sure - very well could be replacements. In addition to be able to open the door at all and open and close them much easier, there are about a dozen odd sounds that have now disappeared - thank goodness.

If I had to guess I'd say those are replacement hinges, they appear to be painted black rather than body color. Both sets of rear hinges on mine are getting stiff and worn out, I have to lift the larger rear door to get it to close without...

Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73.I did take a look at the hinges and they honestly look fine to me. There's no sign of them dragging on the bottoms of the doors or anything like that. Again, it's an old truck and things age and sag but I think they're OK for now.

Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73.Success. Recalled that I'd loaned a 1/2" socket to a friend who needed to pull his battery out of his Corvette and those latch bolts looked as close to 1/2" as metric gets. My lucky day - bolts came right off, no issues at all. Door opened as...

Kaderabek replied to the thread Builds LHD HZJ73 Refresh.Nope! It's been a busy spring (which is good) and we still have this useless rental house/garage. However, that should change in June, which will make this process much more doable. I have been wrapping my pea-sized brain around the setup though...

Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73.Plan to sort it out this weekend when I have some daylight.
-
Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73.Right - either that or it's jammed. Hoping it's jammed and not broken. I appreciate you checking on yours.
-
Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73.There's no play at all. I'll need to loosen or remove the two bolts that hold that collar.

Maybe the water was cold and your right door shrank? Shrinkage!

Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73.I tried lifting it but it's shut tight. Sounds like some adjusting to be done at the very least. Thanks very much.

I just replaced the right door hinges in my cruiser. Until I did, I lifted the door a bit as I closed it so I would not have to "slam" it. Now I do not need to support it as I close it with the new hinges. If you lift the door a bit, are you...

Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73."Squeaks and rattles" - that sounds familiar. I'll take a look at the hinges as well. Thanks very much.

Slamming is not normal. It sounds like the door may be misaligned. Mine required slamming as well, but I knew it was due to play in the hinges. I replaced the hinges this last weekend and after realigning the door, it opens and closes as sweet...

Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73.Also I forgot the best part. My tools are all packed in the drawers. Which won't open because that door won't open. :bang:

Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73.Slammed is the only way to close it. Since I've had it anyway. It's such a beast, I never considered this abnormal.

Looks like it was slammed/bent. I would second loosening up the bolts and see if you can get the jaw of that hook to open. Then maybe see if it can be bent back into alignment.
-
Kaderabek replied to the thread Need help with stuck rear door mechanism, 1990 HZJ73.Good observation. That appears to be in a collar. Good place to start (over) anyway. Thanks, PBR!

Hey y'all. I searched the threads but can't find what I need so bear with me. My right rear barn door is stuck shut.. The mechanism isn't releasing the latch. First photo is the initial position. Second is the "open" position. Third shows the...
