Gas Door Hook:

Before



I made this nifty little bracket, this is my second version of this, so it turned out much better, you can copy my design, but a lot of it is just eyeballing the door and doing quick test fitments






After


Enjoy!

I like that hanger - Brilliant ! Hey did you dip that in rubber coating?

But that reversal ? I'm not following. So how are you suppose to use it now?

I have to see if I have a Tire pressure sticker there. Never could find mine.

Cool idea on the gas cap holder.

I've been wishing I had one since I got this truck.

Thanks Man, Keep the free/cheap mods coming!

WOAH! The gas cap trick just blew my mind. How did you get so creative?? The last time i filled up i was thinking about just cutting the cap off of the plastic string so i could set it on the bed it annoyed me so much.

I love the gas cap idea, that should work on 04-08's also right? Definitely going to look at it tomorrow. I hate the dang thing just hanging there.
