FJ40 single piece rear door

[DavidA]

Posting from Australia and loving all the info that is on this forum.

Has anyone successfully found one of these rear doors? My understanding is that they were on South American models only. My dad used to have a 78 FJ40 when I was a teenager and made up a single piece rear door out of the three piece model, but since seeing that there was a 'factory' edition single door I have been wanting to try and get hold of one for a project.

My understanding of the south american models is that its pretty much impossible to get them exported out of their respective countries, either whole or in parts.

Pic below is just one example of ones I have seen online.

I'm thinking that door is from a Banderaite out of Brazil

Less opportunity for rattles. Looks a little cleaner. Also that it's quite unique.

The hard part seems to be tracking one down as they seem to have been for the south american market only.

You are right there for sure. Just seeing if anyone has been able to get one from somewhere.
