The Nakatanenga one is available from 4x4 Overlander (Site sponsor on here). Contact Brendan (leeds) on here and I'm sure he'll sort you out!

Yes, the rear door is a completely new design from around 2002. I'm sure I've seen kits to fit the earlier doors too, though. Paddocks, maybe? Darren

I got mine direct from Nakatanega. Been fitted a while now already and works perfect. Couldn't get used to it without it now. Constantly fighting it holding it back all the time. Evil or Very Mad Chillin In The BackwoodsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Do the door struts require any drilling etc or do they fix into existing holes ?

They do require drilling for the mounting of the plate onto the actual do. This is a one time thing though and fit and forget. Thumbs Up Chillin In The BackwoodsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

IIRC with the Nak one, rivets are supplied - you just need a riveter. Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...
