gas door delete.

has anyone ever seen a KJ with the gas door removed? i was walking into class today and i saw a JK in the parking lot, and i noticed they have no gas door, just a plastic trim piece around the lip. could any of you JK owners measure the diameter of the trim peice? just a thought i guess. maybe some of you skilled photoshoppers can work your magic.

Been discussed before, JK thing doesn't work, to small.

Search for Jeep Liberator. That had what you are thinking about. But you'll have to get it custom made.

ahh gosh, why did you have to post a pic of that thing?

makes me sick knowing how awesome it is. :lol:

Yep...a shame they could build that for SEMA and not for us.. :shock:

They managed to fit a 4" lift AND a CRD engine?

Now if I could only find out how....

They just used a cradle drop.. well, something like that.

They also put a stronger diff in there.

No cradle drop,they used longer knuckles(prototype SuperLift ones).

i have also thought of deleting my gas door, but i wonder how the water would react to that change.
i have a locking gas cap, and i think that it would rust, i think is what it is called, and would not be able to be opened.

And I know for a fact that someone on here with decals 41MB-06KJ, don't know your name on here dude, sorry, has done it... and it looks freakin' awesome!!

Actually, IIRC (and I know i have pics of it somewhere) it has a spacer between the factory cradle and subframe. wouldn't really call it Much of a cradle drop but I do recall seeing it in Moab during EJS.

How would that fix the problems with the CRD's cv angles?

Gas cap door removal.

Is it just me, or do all the KJs with no gas door look like somebody just stole their gas door, and not "custom"?

^ Just you, it looks BA!

I don't know. Since the lip around where the gas door shuts doesn't taper off immediately like the wranglers, I too think it looks like the door was ripped off and not custom. If you could fab a ring to cover that lip up and would sit flush with outside of the rear panel, then it would nice and custom.

ThunderbirdJunkie thinks the Challenger's sweet gas cap would look at home on there!
