    You can have trade with me. The little plastic tab broke from romping around the desert. I just use velcro to keep it close.

    I actually prefer having a locking door. I am paranoid about things like that.

    For the noob here, does the lock use the ignition key or a different key?

    My 96 had the locking door, but the lock latch broke off and the PO just screwed in a magnet to hold the door closed. I really liked it...the appearance of security with the convenience of a normal door! It never came open either.

    I ended up just getting two earth magnets. They hold up well and I did not screw them in , sometimes they let the door open after hard hits offroad.

    Huh, I really don't mind the gas door, to be honest I prefer the lock.

    you can swap the plastic ring and gas door off a 01-04 and it will work fine.
