The extremely popular Free-stop Door Opener has been remodeled into a Friction Door Opener. This new product has a wider door opening angle than the previous model. The damper diameter has also been increased, ensuring stable operation. This very convenient product is a special hydraulic damper for the rear door that can be stopped anywhere you like and prevents the door from opening fully in one motion!

When opening the original Jimny rear door, it opens fully and vigorously and cannot be stopped partway. But this product stops the opening door anywhere you like. It prevents the door from hitting a wall or other vehicles behind your Jimny in small or cramped parking lots. Also, it prevents anyone standing behind the vehicle from being hit by the door because the door does not open with a full swing. The original rear gate can open up to about 80 degrees, but the rear gate will be able to open up to 90 degrees when this product is installed. (Up to 100 degrees for JB43, 33, 23)

Note: Please note that the door may be difficult to stop if the vehicle is leaning. Also, in case you've changed your spare tire or wheels to ones larger than the originals, or your Jimny has a rear ladder, containers, or accessories on the rear door, the door may not be stopped due to the excess weight. Because this is the friction type, there is a slight resistance when opening the door, but please do not open it vigorously or forcefully. It may damage the product or ball joints if the rear door is opened forcefully. Be careful when opening and closing in strong winds. Operation noise may occur depending on the speed of opening and closing the door.

Designed in Japan by TANIGUCHI, and made in Germany by Bansbach. Easy installation with just basic tools.

* For JB74 or 64, easy installation with just basic tools. For JB43, 33, or 23, please replace the ball joints with the included ones. It may be necessary to remove the bumper during installation. 
* This product is not compatible with SHOWA GARAGE Rear Ladder since the ladder will touch the Jimny body when the rear gate is opened 90 degrees.
* Japan has strict export regulations and air transport safety standards, making it difficult to export gas dampers from Japan. However, we have a manufacturer's safety certificate and we have FedEx, UPS, and DHL permits, so we can export gas dampers worldwide from Japan.

Applicable vehicles: Jimny (2018-present, 1998-2018) JC74, JB74, 64, 43, 33, 23
Brand: TANIGUCHI, Bansbach
Mounting: Easy (with basic tools)

Easy for open back door

The quality is beyond expectation.

I originally had the 105º strut at 280 PSI before upgrading to the TANIGUCHI Friction Strut. At first, I thought the price was on the higher side — but once I had it in hand, I realised the quality absolutely justifies the cost.

Installation was simple, taking less than two minutes to swap over. Once fitted, it performed exactly as I’d hoped. The door now stops wherever I want it to, giving me peace of mind — especially since I recently installed a ladder that clears the panel by only 3mm.

Despite offering a nice wide opening angle, the TANIGUCHI strut holds firm and prevents any risk of the door or ladder hitting the panel. The operating pressure is spot-on, even with a larger rim and tyre combo, a 10L jerry can, and the ladder fitted. It even holds well on slight inclines.

I’m extremely happy with this purchase and honestly wonder why I hesitated for so long. Ordering was hassle-free, and shipping from Japan to Australia only took four days.

10/10 — highly recommended.
