Has this been done for older land cruisers? I have just ordered the damper and hinge and gonna modify the 80 series one and make it work... will update if it works seamlessly.
I'm interested as well for my 100. Added Huracan fab tailgate storage mod to mine and it's really heavy with stuff loaded in it. I was going to order all the parts and try to make it work, but waiting for someone else to be the guinea pig.
I would love to try this in my 80
Please Keep us posted

what a great upgrade
Got my parts from Amayama cheapest I could find
kinda easy
I didn't take the door completely off. (I was trying to squeeze the project in but needed the car...took hinge off and was still able to shut the door in the middle of the project)
I was worried about struggling with the tension bar too
It was a struggle
i did the dremel pilot hole trick
then used a burr from the other side. burred it large enough to fit
screwed the bolt from the inside out to help guide my burring
used a little touch up paint to cover the not so pretty burr hole
was hard to remove and replace the hinge bolts to the body. Was very tight but was able to inch them to being tight
Works great. Every LC200 should do it.

How did this turn out? Considering the mod for my 100-series.
I haven’t had the time to do this yet. Anyone else?
Getting the Damper on is easy, getting the rod to the hinge.....its another story

What series are you working with? I noticed on the 100-series if you moved to the passenger side hinge it seems to have a wider flat area to the right side where the damper could possible be mounted in-line. I don’t have any parts because I just found these threads today while researching this mod.
100 series. I believe the passenger side was not considered because of space. It's a blurr to me but the driver's side has the best chance.
not sure if there are any 100 series toyota guys in here, but i have found a genuine lexus part that should fit Toyotas and allow us to have soft open aswell. From looking in the tread it seems like this is all 200 series owners, and i would be willing to help find a lexus part that is avaible at local lexus dealers and not only from ebay and shipping from japan.
I am a 100 series LX470 owner and have been watching the thread to see what pops up. I have a Huracan Fab tailgate storage, with a bunch of gear stored in it. It's heavy, so I would love to add this mod to my truck.
on the trail tailor rear tailgate locker one person noted his dampners only helped a little once fully loaded....just FYI
This was exactly my thought. I've seen/felt/used a lot of the storage tailgates on customer vehicles in the ADGU shop. They're generally WAY heavier than the OEM tailgate. I can't imagine the 200 OEM soft close would do much. It softens the factory tailgate, but those Huracan tailgates seem to be... 3 or 4 times the weight?
I think you need a gas damper to stand a chance of properly damping those storage tailgates.

Installed! Thanks for the write up.
Got a link? Thanks!Found the hinge and the damperer on Aliexpress for under $50. Came with a template for the captured nut. This was game changer.
