Nice! Mine has a little hook there. I'm sure all the 04-08 models do.

i did this at lunch today...my line connecting the cap to the truck isn't in the same location as pat's though...its right by the gas inlet, so it's not long enough to hang on this...but it is just long enough that the cap itself kinda rests on the hanger, to where it doesn't just sit rubbing against the paint...good idea pat!

Yes it does have one but it is a sorry excuse for a hook. It is barely big enough to catch the thin plastic retainer that holds the lid in place. I can't stand it, I would rather have one that I don't have to worry about slipping off of all the time.

I really like the gas cap mod! After doing the gotts intake yesterday, I'm all about the free/cheap mods. Can't really beat an intake for $6!

Thought you were behind me at the Sunoco yesterday - Truck just like yours. The guy got out and he was like 9' tall. I thought nahh....? ? ? Then he pulled his gas cap and set on top of the bed rail...

Nope! That's not Patrick.
