I will def be doing this, that looks great, and gives the WJ more of a "Jeep" look.

Great write up!

*Edit - Will this work on WJ's?

Can I get the bezel from an Auto Parts store, or do I have to go to the Dealer? Anywhere online I can find it? Thanks guys!

Maybe the dealer parts department, they shouldn't be to much or you can try on auto parts store first.

I ordered the bezel from 4WPW Sunday, and it should be here this weekend to play with. If it works, I will take pictures and describe the process for the WJ.

Just finished mine today -



First, I tried turning the filler 180 degrees, but the plate on the top part of the filler is longer on one side, and doesn't fit. The overflow tube also hits the body underneath.

After I got it on, quite a bit of the paint was showing because of how much I trimmed it to fit, so instead of painting, I cut out a template of what was showing on a black 3-ring binder divider, and bolted it down with the 2 bottom filler bolts.

It seems as though the 96-98 version of the filler tube is different, as I couldn't turn mine. If I could've turned it, I probably wouldn't have had to trim the bezel.

Looks good, man. Yeah, the turning the filler tube thing didn't work for me either (see earlier post). I didn't have to cut anything to fit though. I just took a file to the back of the bezel where the high spots were and it fit. Maybe I just got lucky...

I couldn't get it to seat properly. The plate that has 4 bolts in it got in the way pretty bad. Mine up close doesn't look as good as your guys mods, but it looks pretty good further away. We'll see how it looks at night. Hopefully it doesn't stick out too bad. I'm still getting used to the look.
