I'm in the city and I park my gx in many tight spaces and I rarely want the door to open all the way. Most of the time I'm parked back up to a trash can or another car so I have to be real careful with the door. This shock would totally thrash it out. Looks cool but not for me.
Love This! Wonder what it would be like with electric locks…idk exactly what they’re called but whatever lock they use when people used to “shave” their door handles. Guessing either a solenoid or an electro magnet of some sort. Probably cheap to diy
The work seems done very well. However, it completely baffles me why you would replace something that never fails with something that is guaranteed to fail.😂
You cut an aluminum plate from flat stock that reinforces the door. This video is almost longer than the time it takes to do this. I have done 3, my personal has been done for over 5 years and works like a charm, just be careful if you have a full-size spare swing arm.
Nah Bro! That’s shits dope af! Plus it’s something I’ve never seen anyone do before which was EXACTLY what I was looking for! DIY, inexpensive and super useful! Man….that door! It’s def a love hate thing!
right into the neighbors hood
Proven to be more of an issue than an upgrade in GXOR

That's a genius idea. "Door popper" and you can totally wire those into a remote switch.
More impressive is doing it all one handed! Bravo!
Ahaha thank you
I feel like I should subscribe to this channel. Oh I already am subscribed to this channel. Awesome
Hell yes thank you!
Wish you sold a kit or something.
Oh yeah... let me get right on that

Bc I hated that the door would hit me every time I was on a hill. Adding a shock keeps the door open no matter where I park.
Did the slide lock not work?
sweet!
How much stress are u puttting on the door with that trait at all times? That metal isn't so thick. Over time may be an issue ?
It wasn’t too bad of an issue at all

Did you just measure the length of strut you need for that or did you just make this entire setup. I want to do it to my GX asap
The strut kit you need is available here: amzn.to/47H9PKp

@@CoolGuyClub thanks for all this info, what is the flat bar for?
@CoolGuyClub can't click link think this is Android thing what is the size and specs on the strut you used. Thanks
Wow
Does it still lock?
the pressure of the shock locks it outward even on a hill
@@CoolGuyClub very cool!
When the wind blows as it opens gona loose a door. Maybe not. 🤷🏻♂️ cool idea tho

Why are you using a foot long extension?
Because it was easy to grab. Why does it matter?
@@CoolGuyClub is someone’s wittle feelings hurt?

What a pointless mod…………
