90 degree opening door hinge

LC_DFW · Jan 9, 2025

Howdy!
Anyone installed a door hinge that will allow for the rear doors to open 90 degree making a wider space for loading things from the side? I don't know why Toyota wouldn't think of this since lots of folks use the LC250 for camping and loading up gear. Any aftermarket vendors working on a hinge that will allow the rear doors to open more wider?

I wouldn't want to even considering going down the route of changing hinges on a Land Cruiser to extend the door opening degree.

No but I hope someone will, as of right now I have a aging (large) dog that I have to lift up everytime because the door doesnt open far enough to allow a ramp or folding stair for her to walk up . Just about every-other car has this ability. Anyway I removed the door stop (it’s one screw) to be able to use my steps. Then screwed it back but Its rediculous . Im looking for some sort of quick release screw.

I was surprised when I first went to use the ramp to load our lab. He now ramps up into the back and has a nice bed set up there.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Toyota could get some feedback from this forum. Minor adjustments shouldn’t cost them arm and leg but it definitely makes user experience and the product multiple folds better
