What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Same way I see it. Unententional bending of that thin metal clip is a real possibility/probability.

I use a locking gas cap so my solution is to just put it on my tonneau right above the gas cap door where it's readily visible. No tonneau? Put it on the bed rail above the door.
Putting it on top of the gas pump will get you buying a new gas cap at some point, not that I would know.

 

definitely need more info on this

 

As a career draftsman, I'd like to offer my thoughts. That's a really good job....lol. Really.

How do I get in contact with the ebay user? The link didn't take me to his store and I could not search for him.

 

Been putting the locking gas cap for my '96 Z3 on top of the pump for 24 years. Since the key to the Z3 is in it, here's no way I can leave with it still sitting on the pump.

 

I guess it's nice if you want your Tacoma to look like a parts delivery truck. Not for me but someone else may like it which is fine just not my tastes.

 

I like the vinyls, was gonna do it myself but then bought the TRD center caps... think it looks pretty good but still thinking about the vinyls...[/QUOTE]

its not a bad little investment, rather than spending $$$-$$$$ I spent 30ish on these vinyls and give me the look i want..

this can hold me over until my tires fall apart And im ready to upgrade

 

Who really needs most of the mods that we do?
It's kind of like the saying, "why do dogs lick themselves?
..............."because they can!"
Same thing only different. Everyone should just do their own thing.

 

Kind of how I am. Dipped mine, and want to upgrade wheels and tires, but hard to justify when they are still new.

 

User name is graphite_ws6, sorry about that link. I need to fix that.

 

The issue for me is that when I attach the gas cap to a door that isn't 100% open it pulls the cap shut and falls off. Almost as if the hinge doesn't lock in place properly in the open position. If it's only like 90% open and then I attach the gas cap then it won't stay open. It closes on itself and the cap falls out of the clip. Silly. And this happens pretty often because I just swing the thing open and I want to attach the gas cap with one hand. The only way I can guarantee this doesn't happen is using my left hand to push it all the way open as I simultaneously attach the gas cap to the clip.

 

Nice! Got a full size pic of the side of the truck? Thinking about this size tire. Are you lifted and do you rub?

 

Have done that as well but since it's self locking once removed now I just put it on the rail where I can see it. Whatever works is the right thing to do.

 

Thanks

 

Amen to that, brother!!!

 

Absolutely nothing wrong with Mesos GasHole if it works for you.
Wouldn't work with my non OEM locking cap so...........

 

Its a fun and necessary evil here
Fuel cap management is a passionate topic in this thread. I’d put it right behind emblems from other trim levels.

I couldn’t agree more. But is does keep it fun!

It’s all fun and games until someone looses a gas cap!

 

Nice Scrambler!

 

That dog will BITE YOU!

 

Since I’m board out of my head sitting in a hotel and been stirring the pot anyway...

I used to have an ‘83 VW GTI. No fuel cap cover and no tether. When I fueled up, I’d set the cap on my roof. It was pointed out to me that if I left the fuel cap on top of the pump and I forgot it, there was at least a chance it would still be there when I got back. If I drove off with it on the roof, I’d have no idea where it fell off.
