Locking fuel door should be one of the earliest and cheapest mods for peace of mind.

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

Really?

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

Yes.

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

Isn't it a pain in the a$$ to use /give the key every time you get gas.

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

You could say the same thing about locking the front door of your home...

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

especially now since it is virtually impossible to siphon fuel out of the current designed fuel lines and tanks.
this whole town was out of fuel a couple times last rainy season and i was trying to siphon out of the h3 and put some fuel in my wife's car. i ended up having to use a really small tube like 1/4" and it took forever.

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

Remember a locking fuel door ALSO keeps out things you don't want in your gas tank,

LIKE

something a greenie/eco-terrorist/tree-hugger/bitchy neighbor/kids might want to put in...

Diesel/Sugar/Salt/Water/Pee/Feces/etc etc

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

No, 100% self service in California. Easy, been doing it for 2 years/39K miles straight.

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

Agreed, keeping things out is the goal. $60 worth of stolen gas is petty cash. And covering that cheezy black plastic filler area is a plus too.

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

:iagree: The stupid plastic gas cap they have on there looks ghey. The aftermarket fuel doors look much better.

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

I guess you guys are right,Im just being to cheap and lazy to get one.

I do like the way it looks :beerchug:

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

levo gauge 30 bucks at trail duty

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

Line-ex the plastic thing.:D

Re: Inexpensive Mods, anyone know any?
 

We paid how much for a vehicle and they can't even afford to put a door over the gas cap!?! :mad:

On the other hand, I do like having many easily installed options for the fuel door. :excited:
