Japan/JDM? Fuel Door for 4th Gen 4Runner

[DonnyB]

It's been awhile, too long, since I've been active here on this site, but I've saved all winter and spring for mods for my 2008 4Runner and the time has come! Unfortunately for me I lost a link to order one of the mods I really wanted to do and I'm hoping someone here can help me. I first found this mod on this site and I've exhausted my searches. I can't get any search results when I KNOW I've seen threads on gas caps, fuel doors, etc. It's been a very frustrating morning. Anyways, I'm looking for the Japanese/JDM (TRD?) Clear Windowed Fuel Door with Red Gas Cap. It's square but has a round chrome piece in the middle with a clear window which allows you to see a red gas cap. I believe it ran for around $200. If someone could link me to ANY info, I'd GREATLY appreciate it! I can't understand why the search won't yield any results! arghh... back to shopping for accessories... hope to hear from someone about this soon! -Don

Is there a way to search archives? Were some older threads deleted? I can't believe that no matter what I search for I can't produce any result for this fuel door / gas cap accessory. Hellllpppp!

 

[DonnyB]

YES! Some progress! I found a picture on the site by searching through gallery pictures:

FleaBay rules! Cost a small fortune for a 'lil mod.. but you only live once, right.. and I wanted it! So, for nearly $250 total... I bought it. Hm, I probably could've used the money more wisely... but that's no fun!

Now to shop for my Westin' Ultimate Bull Bar... and Tal & Hadas Rear Bumper Guard in SS...

p.s. I'm STILL wondering why my search wouldn't yield these results I manually had to dig through and find, for example this thread right here (was the one I originally spoke of):

That actually looks really good!
But damn thats pricey, but if you have the money more power too you.

Yes searching on these forums does suck, doesn't yield the results it should

I agree!...


BTW
I saw some TRD fuel caps on ebay that looks very nice...

you should buy that one too DonnyB..that would complement your fuel door

Great link! Bookmarked! Thanks!

For those who like the looks of the fuel door, I'll be sure to update my picture page when I get it installed! I also ordered a Tal & Hadas rear bumper guard in stainless steel as well as a Westin Ultimate Bull Bar in s.s. and Door Sill Enhancements. Oh, and I picked up a new bike rack for my mountain bike today. A Thule 916 - T2 - 2 BIKE 2. It was the only type of rack I could buy (due to my bike's design) that would hold my f.s. mountain bike, an '08 Jamis Dakar XCR Sport. I'm new to mountain biking and it's my first full suspension bike. I love it... the bike, the rack, ...and the 4runner! Now to go do some riding... later on -Don

I just received this from ebay:
Dear Don,

Hello again!

I am afraid to say but Silver Fuel Lid(Factory Color Code /1D4) is all sold out to our local market. Fuel Cap Cover is still availalbe. Will you still want to get this Fuel Cap Cover or should we agree to cancell this auction case???

Thank you very much again for your bidding and sorry for this sold-out situation.

Remember what should be remembered, and forget what should be forgotten.Alter what is changeable, and accept what is mutable.

Great advice.
