Aftermarket fuel door....

Anyone know of a company that's going to make aftermarket fuel doors for the Tacoma seams like they do for every other truck and SUV?

 

Haven't seen one. Considering the 2nd gen has been around for 11 years already, I doubt we'll see one ever. Why do you want an aftermarket fuel door?

 

Just hate always having to WD 40 min and deal with its flimsy design

 

Why NOT! Something else to spend money on! That's the theme of this website!

 

I just put some graphite lubricant on mine about a year ago and its been 100% since.

 

Instead of WD40, spray some white lithium grease on the hinges every oil change. Do the same with passenger doors and tailgate latches. It's the "lube" part of oil, lube, and filter.

 

I've never had to "lube" any fuel door on any vehicle I've owned including the taco. I guess I was just lucky. I've never heard of this.

 

Neither have I. Also if mine squeaks, I probably wouldn't care since I don't hear it all the time.

I do want a locking fuel door though.

 

I have added lots new lights grill and some other small things, saving for new rims and tires thought a fuel door would be a nice cheap mod to add to my all black/smoked carbon fiber look...

 

This.
That was he only reason I clicked on this thread. "Hey aftermarket fuel door! I don't need this, but I could totally waste money on this!"

 

Saw some on Google shopping

 

WD40 is not intended to be a lubricant. It was designed to displace moisture. Like has already been suggested, use something like an actual lube, such as lithium grease.

 

WD40 is bad for hinges. Use white lithium grease.

 

Yep, chrome ones and they know Taco owners hate chrome

 

Or, move to Oregon. They don't let pump your own gas (diesel yes, boat and motorcycle yes). You will never hear it squeak again. HA

 

cost of the gas would not be my first concern. Mine would be the gauge. Hose in a tank can mess up your fuel gauge
