    Anyone have issues with their fuel door warping / breaking? I am in need of a new fuel door for a 3rd gen off road tacoma. Any ideas on where I could find a new door?

    Thanks for any insight!

    Have you lubricated the hinges since you had the truck?

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    See below.
    Curious about the answer to this question. My bet is "No."

    This has been an issue for a while. The hinges aren't lubricated well, so after a while, they stick, and the door warps. if it didn't break and is only misaligned, you can probably carefully bend it back and then lubricate the hinge every so often.

    Yeah, I have never lubricated hinges. I didnt know that was a thing. The bottom hinge has broken off. I ordered a new door, though, are they pretty straight forward to remove / install?
