Jeep gas cap mod on Explorer

[Trckmagik]

Here is the Mod I just completed on my explorer. I have been looking to get rid of the door for some time and being that this is a crawler I couldnt go the bling route
Here are some pics of the mod completed on DeJello's 1991 Explorer.

Damn that actually looks pretty damn good

Why did you want to get rid of the door??

 

[Trckmagik]

Just do do it.... I actually laid mine over into a rock and dented the door enough to where it didnt shut right, so off it came.

Is there a writeup somehwhere and how to do it?? and also... what's the cost to do something like this?

 

[Fish Man]

looks awesome!

 

[Trckmagik]

The cost for me was 19.95 for the Jeep part and a couple dollars for the nuts and bolts.
You DO have to cut your explorer a little after removing the stock door to do this install.

Looks great. You should do a write-up on this.

Thanks for all the Congrats. I go out and spend hours looking at my rig to see what other car parts I can use.

How long did it take to do?

 

[Trckmagik]

10-15 minutes tops if you have the right tools. REMEMBER grinding is a must on this mod...

 

[bmxking5]

Woah that's really quick.

 

[DeRocha]

That is slick and came out nice...

 

[Trckmagik]

Thanks again.....

Yeah, I woke up and Brian was putting this on my explorer... I figured sure, why not.. Actually I loved the way it looked and had to have it for myself. Like Brian said, not long to do. Just grind a bit from the stock metal, a little tweaking here and there with the gas/vent tubes, some drilling for the new mounting bolts and you're good to go. The only issue with mine was a "lip" or something where we were drilling the new holes.. I went to the auto store and bought some bolts, washers, and nuts that were 25mm long to reach past the "lip". I went ahead and got a locking gas cap since I've been paranoid even before this mod. I think it looks freaking sweet and thanks again Brian!
