I have been thinking about making the swap using a tj gas filler bezel, on my zj,
I know there will be some modifications needed to make this work,
I am just looking to see if anyone else has done this to there ZJ, and how easy it was??
do a search... it has been done quite a few times and there are some pretty lengthy threads covering the topic including how to do it and which bezel to buy
First from inside jeep there will be two bolts to take the door off....
you will have to remove the interior. Then there are two rubber stoppers on the outside remove those too...
Next i panted the inside of the fuel opening,
Next line up the new bezel, mark and drill holes
(I had to cut the hole in the back of the tj bezel a bit bigger to accept my gas cap...)
Bolt it up and it turned out really cool! I love it!
Looks good, bought mine from Quadratec several months ago. Ebay took you for a little ride on the price. The part number for the TJ filler neck is 17742.02 and the cost was like $9.95 plus some shipping.
Well, I installed the TJ bezel. I removed the old fuel door (very easy once you find the bolts after removing the plastic inside). I cleaned out the area and sprayed it with some semi-gloss black rustoleum. The only problem I ran into was that I had to modify the bezel. I had to make the hole (where the fuel neck is) quite a bit larger using a dremel (use at low speeds on plastic, trust me), but overall it was a pretty simple process and I think it looks great. I also used self tapping screws, pre-drilled.
