lock gas cap for 3rd gen.

You can get a small pointy ended fish tank air hose in there (I’ve done it). Also theives have resorted to cutting a large hole in the rubber filler hose behind the fender and put a large hose in there, or just sticking a screwdriver through the plastic tank.

When Im parking on the street, I just put one of these on my truck and it warns me from in the house that someone is near the car. Put a magnet on the back side to stick it on your fender, but keep it at or above waist level to prevent false cat alarms. It works well, even 200’ from my bedroom. I also protect my trailer and gate with them.

 

I bought one and the lock broke after two uses.

 

If a thief wants your stuff, a thief will get your stuff. I think it has a lot to with situational awareness.

 

not about theft, how a bout some sugar in gas tank? your done...

 

Tested on myth Busters. Sugar is only an issue if you have a steel tank

 

Didn't know that but I see snopes has it as "false".
I thought that it created a ton of carbon in the cylinders and would cause it to run like crap equalling $$$$ to repair.

 

Antifreeze or lots of water in the tank can cause the engine to hydro lock.

 

If people are that malicious where you live, you got more things to worry about than a locking gas cap.

You may also look into tank tracks. In case someone wants to slash your tires.

 

How right you are....thay can have it as an alternate to damage a repair inconvenience and aggravation.

 

where I live great little town, sometime I drive my truck to ca, fl , ga, nc ...remember a lot HATE TRD pro. out there.

 

They also may just pass your truck by and go to the next one instead of having to pry on the locking door.

 

Bro, 95% of the populous don’t even know what a TRD Pro is. There is no “TRD Pro hate.”

 

And that could be. But for as many times I will have my gas stolen in my life time, I’d rather just take that chance of paying out $60 or whatever filling up the tank costs. Chances are, likelihood is pretty slim.

 

First mod I did to my truck. No problems after 18 months

 

Or a box of 500 crickets left open in the back seat?


Honestly, that one was a mistake!

 

Are you a cricket breeder or just have a lot of reptiles to feed??

 

High school bio class- my teacher had a lot of reptiles and I cared for them during spring break. Thank god for shop vacs, my dad was really pissed!

 

Still no problems?

 

No issues still using the same cap
