Open Rear Doors Wider 2020 4runner

So I just looked at this, and what I would do is try to move where the stopper is bolted to the body:


You should be able to remove this bolt, then set the door to your desired open angle, and mark the new hole location. Then you'll have to figure out the best way to mount the stopper in the new location (depends on the thickness of the steel and your desired strength of the stopper).

Beware that when the stopper is disconnected, the door can probably open wide enough to damage itself, the hinges, or the front door, so be careful with it. Don't do this on a slope or on a windy day.

 

This thread is kind of funny. Even if you took the rear door off, it's still a pain to get in and out because space is limited by the wheel arch and position of the seat itself. A few more degrees of opening isn't going to make a perceptible difference for ease if ingress / egress. Hardly seems worth the effort.

For the dogs, I'd use the rear hatch (and ramp if needed). If they are allowed in the front seats, then leave the smaller rear seat folded down.

If that doesn't work, it may not be the right vehicle. Maybe an FJ Cruiser with its suicide doors?

 

It's not always about person egress, OP could be trying to load something bulky through the side door, like a large cooler. I've been there, and wanted a few more inches of opening vs. scraping it against the inside of the door.

 

It seems like a lot less work to figure out a quick disconnect to go where the hinge pin is, circled below. You could remove it for loading large items, reconnect for normal use.

 

I think the ideas of changing the attachment point of the door check to the body, or removing the hinge pin, should be approached with extreme caution.

Moving the attachment point: I think there will be breaking/binding/bending when the door is swung closed.

Removing the hinge pin: this is better, but not a long term solution. The door check isn’t just a limiter. It provides resistance that keeps the door from flopping around. If you pull the pin then the door could swing out on its own given the slightest breeze or sloped ground.

If I were determined to do this I would experiment with removing the door check entirely and replacing it with a piece of sturdy webbing.

 

That's a great point; the existing point probably needs to line up exactly with the slot in the door

 

I totally agree with this information.
Why not search for a longer door check?
Just a thought, The issue will probably be obtaining dimensional info.
