With shipping, you could probably get a new one at your local dealership for a few $$$ more.
I think I paid $22 or something like that at my local dealership.

Can you access the filler neck from inside where you take out the bolts that hold the door or somewhere else? Also, what bezel should I get?
Also, get a locking cap that you need a key to unlock. I know it can be a pain, but no one can steal your gas then. They can steal mine since all it takes is a finger to open my door. It happened last night so i'm off to the auto parts store to get a locking cap.

Ever since I been driving, 90% of my cars had a locking cap. My WJ is on its 2nd one. It is a pain to unlock esp. during the winter with them freezing. But when I spend $40+ in fuel, its way worth it.

I got a stant locking gas cap. They have a page on their website where you enter your vehicle info and they tell you which one fits. My local Advance Auto had a few in stock that was the right part number
